Bella Baker 2012 Year in Review: Part 2!!

Hope you enjoyed yesterday's "Year in Review" Part 1 for Bella Baker! I'm still pinching myself over all of the incredible opportunities I've had, people I've met and desserts I've eaten!

So I'll bring you right into the second half of the year...

I got right to work the second Evan and I returned from our honeymoon on this fantastic sweets themed dessert table for a 1st birthday! This table was so adorable I just had to share it here on my year in review!

In September, my lil bro got married and I made him and his bride a 5 tiered wedding cake!

How cute are they?!?!

Then in October I had the honor of creating a special birthday cake to celebrate C. Wonder's first birthday. And you will never believe who cut the cake...KRISTIN CAVILARI of The Hills and Laguna! 

I kept myself busy making some other fun cakes as well!

And then in November, I became a published author!

Creating Sweet Gifts was one my proudest Bella Baker moments. It took several months of blood, sweet and tears, and the result was something even more fantastic than I ever could have imagined!

The year ended with the excitement of being featured on TV segments in Chicago, Milwaukee and New York, a national radio segment on Martha Stewart Radio, along with several exciting features on websites such as Perez Hilton's Fit Perez, Seventeen dot com, and Kara's Party Ideas.

Here I am on the set of New York Live with Jacque Reid and Sara Gore

In Milwaukee on The Morning Blend with Molly Fay and Tiffany Ogle

Oh what a year it has been! I feel so overwhelmingly grateful for all of the incredible opportunities I've had and so excited to jump right in to 2013 with a big smile on my face! Thank you so much to all who take the time to read my blog, to those of you who purchased Sweet Gifts and to anyone I've inspired with my desserts.  My biggest goal for 2013 is to LIVE SWEETLY!

xoxoxo HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
