Wild Card or my Favorite Recipe for 2018

First off   
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
I hope I didn't yell too loud, but I'm excited for this next year and all the great stuff that will happen. 
 
This is the last of the series and is the 'Wild Card' which means I can highlight any post from this past year.

I had fun this past year, I published my second cookbook, Nibbles and Bites, which is chockful of appetizers and finger foods and asked a few bloggers if they'd like to join me in a virtual Tapas Time Party featuring a recipe or two from the book.   You can find it on Amazon as well as some selected bookstores and merchants.   It's available as a paperback, or an ebook.  You can even read it on Kindle Unlimited.  Nothing a shameless plug.

They very graciously said yes, and we held the party, online.  And that was so much fun, seeing what other bloggers made and posted about.   I appreciate them all.

And then I started thinking about which was my favorite recipe from this past year and I had trouble with that.
I baked a lot of cakes this past year, I got to make 2 wedding cakes, which is nerve wracking but both brides liked their cakes.   Or at least they said they did.  I had fun making a Batman themed groom's cake as well.

As I said I made a bunch of cakes for the Legion cake raffle, every other week actually.    I made this awesome Candied Orange and Candied Ginger Cake,  and the following

Triangle Delights,
Triangle Delight Bars

 and all I can say is, it's a good thing that I didn't keep them in my house.  They would have put me into a sugar coma, but it might have been worth it.  They were pretty popular as well.



That's my look back at 2018.
Thanks Sarah for giving me an excuse to look back at 2018  of Fantastical Sharing to look back and pick out the best of the year.

Here's hoping that 2019 is a great and wonder-filled year for everyone. 
Stop on by next Monday for First Monday Favorites to see what recipes other bloggers picked as their favorite from December.

    1. And I'm so thrilled you participated in the party. You liked the shrimp dip enough to serve it on Christmas, wow what an accolade.

  2. So much good stuff in 2018 :) The wedding cakes are gorgeous! I made my sister-in-law's wedding cake in October and you are right -- SO nerve wracking.

    1. Thanks. The first cake was for a very informal gathering and as you can see from the second cake, it was much more formal. Until I have a separate fridge and freezer, that I can dedicate to cakes, I don't know that I'll want to do more. It is nerve wracking to say the least.
