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.

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. 🙂
