It’s time to take back my blog.
I love sharing recipes, posting photos of cupcakes and answering buttercream questions but I want this blog to be more. I want this blog to be a part of me. I know I share little “stories” with every post but I do keep them short and sweet. I’m hoping that from now on Saturdays is when I’ll share a bigger piece of me. A real piece of me.
I say I’m “taking back the blog” because sometimes having a cupcake blog makes me change my online persona to fill this peppy, bubbly, pink-loving stereotype. But that’s not always me. I’m sassy, I’m quiet, I’m loud, I throw rants about boys, I fall in love too quickly, I’m a business woman, I over think and I’m driven to change my corner of the world. But I bet you didn’t know that, did you? Well, maybe the boy rant part…
On Saturdays I’ll be sharing a little piece of me each week. Feel free to hate it, feel free to love it, but it’s me and I know I can’t please everyone. That being said, I’m going to infuse more of myself on here to at least please me. Some of you may just come to Your Cup of Cake for the recipes so I guess you can hate this new idea OR see these new posts as recipes of Lizzy—the little things that have gone into my life to make me who I am. Will they all be deep and thought provoking? No. A lot of them will be fun facts, curly hair tips, business advice, blogger advice and more boy rants. But it will be about something I love. Something important to me.
This is my Valentine’s Day gift to myself.
Lizzie, I think this is a great idea! You are such an inspiration to women everywhere! Thank you 🙂
I’ve been waiting for curly hair tips from you! My 4-year-old daughter has long curly hair and I have no idea what to do with it!
Go girl!!!! Happy Valentine’s Day. I love your blog. (This is my first time posting a comment =(
Yes please! i love a well-rounded blog. I thrive on information and love meeting and learning from other people. Thanks Lizzy…for everything
Love 🙂
I think it takes great courage to put yourself out there for the scrutiny of others. Especially on the internet which people find it so easy to be mean and critical with their comments because of the “anonymous” factor. Keep being true to you and leave karma to the rest. 🙂
Your personality is the thing I love the most about your blog and I would’nt mind you sharing more of it… Definately yes to the change!
excited to hear the boy rants………
You go girl! It’s all of the parts of you that make you and you blog special!
Have a great time with your new adventure 🙂 And pay no attention to those who have anything negative to say…you know they will…and it really doesn’t matter all that!
Oops- I meant you and your blog so special…my bad…
I think it’s a great idea. Always great to get to know the blogger behind the blog. Looking forward to your new entries on Saturdays. You are brave.
This is so awesome. Not only can we enjoy your recipes but we can also have fun reading the stories.I do love them.and when I first saw your blog I was interested right away. I share them with my co workers daily. Keep it going..:-)
Love love love this. I think it’s an awesome idea, you go Lizzy!
Awesome change! You go girl!
Thank you SO MUCH for all your support! I was truly touched to wake up (very late) and read all of your comments. Not going to lie, I am very nervous about my post tomorrow so we’ll see how it goes! Happy Valentine’s Day! I love you ALL!!!
Woot woot!! Sounds like a good plan to me❤️
Oh, this will be fun! It’s called “Keeping it real” and I’m glad you want to. I’ll be here to support you! Rant away! 😉 Happy Valentine’s Day Lizzy!
Lizzy, I think this is a wonderful thing you will be doing. I have always loved your recipes and now I will love getting to know Lizzy. Oh! Thank you for always answering my question’s quickly.
Love your blog Lizzy. Thanks for all the recipes. Thinking of taking a trip to Oregon this summer, any advice?
Well it depends which part you go to. Portland is always wonderful and there’s tons to do in the city like the Saturday market, Powell’s Books, Voodoo Doughnuts, walk on the riverfront… But the coast is also GORGEOUS and the Tillamook cheese factory is amazing.
I say good for you! While I do love your recipes (all that I have made have turned out wonderfully) I look forward to getting to know more about the ‘real Lizzy’
oh that’s a great idea!! that’ll be fun for us to read and fun for you to make! 😉 i’m looking forward to getting to know you better!
Your blog is the best Lizzie, what a great gift to yourself !! Grab this opportunity to let yourself shine through!! Those nay sayers….too bad for them, its their loss
I am looking forward to your Saturday blog very much and I loved the blogging 101 that you did! Thank you for that. I need to get busy and gain some of my life back and I applaud you for being true to yourself.
I love reading your posts as well as your recipes and great instructions for them. I hope your new postings are more fun than the ones you already do for us. Good luck.
You seem like such a relatable person, and your Valentine’s Day stories kinda cracked me up, so I’m glad you’re deciding to share more of your thoughts on boys:)Your blog is really cute along with the recipes that are really easy to make, keep up the good work!
Can’t wait! Hope you had a great Valentine’s Day–with or without a boy! Some of my my best days have been without a man in them!
I think it’s GREAT!!! Luv your blog and can’t wait to find out more fun things about ya!! Hope you had a Happy day..xoxoxo
Well, Lizzie, it will be so nice to finally meet you! Always be yourself, young lady. Love your blog and will love you, too!

Still, buying gifts for myself feels like self-deception. Who am I fooling? I can buy myself different things, but I’ll enjoy them far less than if I received a gift from someone close and dear to me.
It’s great to see you wanting to share more of yourself through your blog!
