Honestly, I was afraid to blog about this. I didn’t want to get my hopes up. But now that it actually came true, I have to
tell you all about it!!
One of my top favorite blogs to follow is
Bakerella – you’ve always seen it linked on the right.

| The photo that made her famous. |
Well,
she recently published a book on her Cake Pops, which I made
back in July for the first
time. It was an immediate hit within my
circle of friends and is still talked about.
I keep telling everyone I’ll make them again, but continue putting it
off – a little salivating torture is good for them sometimes!
When I heard Bakerella had added a stop in Oregon on her
book signing tour, I was happy,
excited, thrilled, you name it!
Fortunately, I am blessed with a mom who let me drag her
along. She was my designated
photographer for the day and also the one to guide my star-struck self out of
the store after I had finally met Bakerella!
Hehe.
Look, I was literally number TWO in a huge line of
Bakerella fans.
I’ve never done anything like this. Never been such a fan of
someone/something. Never gone to meet a
famous person on purpose. But here I was…
This is me after I actually yelled, “Look! There she is!” as she was walking toward the store. I mean, who WAS this crazy redhead who, until
an hour before, was probably the quietest in the whole line of fans. The entire line then looked across the mall
at her and started clapping as she walked by.
Before the actual signing, we were able to crowd around
her table for a Q&A time. Being at
the front of the line, I was able to be at the front of the table! Literally, I had to keep telling myself to
snap out of it, stop the grinning, and pay attention to what she was saying!
And here I am with Bakerella herself!
Oh, it was just a wonderful day. Sigh.
