Today I’m finally getting around to sharing our top 10 reader favorites posts of 2014! With all the craziness that the end of the year brought this year I hadn’t planned to do a recap, but then I stumbled upon 2013’s recap and really was reminded just how much fun it is to take a look back over the year. Sometimes, I forget I even made something, it’s really fun to look back over the projects I’ve shared and what you guys have enjoyed the very. Last year I shared the top posts in general, this year I’m going to share the top 10 favorite posts from this year.
Before we get into the sweet treats…I have to say 2014 was such fun year for Make Bake Celebrate. I consider myself SO BLESSED to have been able to spend another year with all of you. I’ve had a lot of really cool opportunities, worked with some fabulous brands, and was surprised with some fun features. Some of my favorite highlights were attending BlogHer Food in Miami, attending International Food Blogges Conference in Seattle, visiting the Krusteaz HQ, signing a book deal, working with Better Homes and Gardens (several times!), being featured on Today.com and the Cooking Channel. And then there’s always having my first tattoo feature…seriously it’s been a pretty sweet year.
In case your wondering the top 10 posts were formulated by a scrutiny of scientific research and super critical information. Yea, right. I based them off your overall visits, likes, shares, pins, and all that fun stuff! And to spruce it up this year we’re going to mix them up so they’re not in any particular order. Sound fun? Let’s see what you guys were digging this year…

These were one of my favorite treats to devour enjoy this year mixing my new found love of macaroons with my new found love of coffee (Fueled by my long standing lack of sleep.)
