Favorite Recipes of 2013 :: Running Blonde

Happy New Year dear readers! Here is a round up of your favorite recipes of 2013.

Sweets won out over savory this year in a big way. One of the things I’m most proud of is that four of the top ten were cupcakes or cakes. Would you believe that three years ago, the only cake I’d ever made came from a box? When I decided to make the dessert table for our wedding this year, I also decided to make our wedding cake! I spent the months leading up to the wedding testing recipes and frosting techniques. Lots of trial and error making the perfect buttercream (still not there yet!), practicing with a palette knife, and trying different piping tips. I’m happy you found a little bit of inspiration here with me.

Luckily there was a little bit of healthy thrown in there too – it’s all about balance, right? Greek yogurt is no longer a trend, but a staple in many of our diets. I love adding it to everything from fruit dip to pasta sauce. I promise that in 2014, Running Blonde will continue to be a place where you can get your sweet tooth fix and find delicious healthy recipes.

See you in 2014!
