a very happy birthday

Today is A Daily Something’s first birthday.  I baked a cake in celebration.

This first year of blogging has been an exciting journey.  I’ve met bloggers I now call friends, been inspired by talented creatives, and had a few awesome opportunities.  I am so thankful for every single reader.  Each of your comments blesses me and puts a smile on my face.  Thank you for being out there, for coming back, and for your constant encouragement.

I can’t wait to see what another 12 months will bring A Daily Something.

Have a blessed Thursday, friends!

till tomorrow,
Rebecca

P.S. As I mentioned yesterday, I’m not a huge frosting fan.  This frosting is the best I’ve ever had.  I googled “best icing recipe” and The Pioneer Woman’s recipe popped up.  Of course, I used it.  And boy, am I glad I did.  I seriously ate it by the spoonful!

P.P.S. In case you are wondering (ahem, Aunt Lori), I put a circle of parchment paper underneath the cake, which kept it perfectly clean!!

  1. Happy Bloggy bday 🙂

  26. Michaela says:

    Congratulations on reaching your first year milestone!!

    I have a random question as I've signed up for making a birthday cake for tomorrow and this frosting sounds amazing – did you follow the recipe and was it enough to frost that whole cake, or did you double the recipe?

    Thanks a mill! xx

  27. Rebecca says:

    Hi Michaela!! Thanks for the sweet words! In answer to your question, I doubled the frosting recipe. The cake was made from three 9-inch cake pans, and I had a bit left over to munch on! (And I frosted it rather generously!) Hope you enjoy!

  28. Michaela says:

    Thanks Rebecca, I think I'll give it a whirl! Hope it turns out as amazingly as yours did. Have a great weekend!

  29. Happy blogging birthday Rebecca!! Excited to follow along for many years to come! =)

  32. Aww, congrats to you! I think I started about a year ago too – I need to look back and figure out the date. Will you bake me a cake? 🙂 I've been so amazed at how you've grown and learned (well, I didn't really know you before but still)- I'm just in awe of your skills!
