I’ve continued that project today by going through the hundreds of food photos stored on my computer. I have a tendency to download photos and then just forget about them. Many of the photos aren’t very good so I finally went through them all and deleted those that weren’t of use to me. The rest I moved to CDs for storage. I’ve deleted them from my computer and now feel that I’m a bit more organized in that regard.
While going through my photos, I had the opportunity to look back on some memorable posts over the course of 2007.
Making croissants from scratch was pretty cool. I finally got to declare my desire to be Southern and I also declared my love of lemon.
The spring and summer brought with them some work opportunities, Dorie, a new appreciation for tea, a confession of love, blueberries, cupcakes and cheesecake.
September was poetic, October was orange and November was tempting.
December has been so sweet!
But of all the posts that I loved this year, my favourite was the one about the Queen of sweet crepe cakes. For me, it was a real accomplishment.
So my crepe cake is my contribution to the event being hosted by Zorra of Kochtopf and Sandra of Un Tocco di Zenzero. Zorra and Sandra had the idea to ask foodbloggers everywhere to submit their favourite recipe or post of 2007.
What a beautiful way to say farewell to all the indredible food we witnessed this year!
Ciao!

I’ve enjoyed reading all your post’s and look forward to the coming new year to see what else you have in store!! P.S. Just a friendly reminder about my membership in the Daring Bakers, I’m looking forward to that too! Thanks Ivonne!!

Ah Ivonne, does it count if I vacuumed! That’s about the extent of my cleaning. I did a couple of hours deleting photos on our last plane flight but I’ still have hours to go on such a project.
Glad you picked the real crepe cake, I do intend one day to do that one.
Happy New Year with a cleaner hard drive lucky you!

wonderful posts you had this year! can’t wait to see what things you bake/cook up in the kitchen in the upcoming year!
12/28/07 at 5:40 pm
Thanks for sharing your expertise during 2007! Can’t wait to see what you will share with us in 2008!

Thanks for the review of the year…your posts are inspirational and fun. Got my fridge totally cleaned out today…guess the cleanup impulse comes with the pending New Year. Have gotten about 1/3 of my photos organized, but hope to eventually do what you did and put good ones on CD & deep six the rest.You’ve given me another inspiration
Happy New Year to you Ivonne!

your crepe cake is beautiful.
i need to do some cleaning and do what you did w/your food photos…they are taking up so much space on my computer!
12/28/07 at 7:45 pm
Looking forward to seeing what you make next year!

You forgot one very seducing post that involved chocolate cake and no Mr. Tartelette…eheheheh!!! I have a slight favoritism for that one but that fabulous crepe cake is close second. Great choice! And miracle of miracles….you have inspired me to clean my picture folders, thank you!
12/29/07 at 9:12 am
That IS a beautiful dessert, Ivonne. Here’s to 2008!

I’m still smiling at your kicking Ms. Stewart’s’ bootie.
But hey, not like that’s hard to do, right? Ah, still smiling!
I too, need to try my hand at this cake. I haven’t ever made a crepe, nor, even eaten one before.
It looks so very delicious! And, I thought so in June, too. Or, was it July?

[…] After having sorted through all my photos yesterday, the cleaning up process continues with a post that I’d meant to put up prior to American Thanksgiving but never did. […]

Oh My! What a beautiful looking cake that is. Making a perfect crepe is by itself an accomplishment, let alone a cake. Happy new year, Ivonne.

Beautiful cake! I cut out that New York Times recipe and have been meaning to make it, but everytime I pull out the recipe it just seems like too much work without knowing if the result would be worth it. Now I know it is! Thanks for reprising this recipe for Best of 2007!
