one year of colour

Today plenty of colour is a year old! I can’t believe it. Now, I had some rather royal wedding level plans for this day but have had a few recent obstacles throw a wrench in the party plans. Alas, a large and insanely colourful event will happen one day very soon. For now, we will have to stick to a mini-party of the above mini-cakes I made as an excuse to try baking colour theory meets obsessive sprinkle placing with a toothpick. Yes, this has become an entire cookbook in my mind. Or more impressively, the layered rainbow cake my sister Kristi made for the blog-a-versary (excuse the very quickly taken photos of both!)

I won’t ramble on as I did at Christmas but I just want to say thank you again. I can’t believe how many fabulous people I have met in the past year who enthusiastically visit, send (very kind) emails, tweet happily, share links and generally, are amazingly supportive of this little corner of colour. I am so excited for what the next year of colour will bring. There are new things in the works including a lot more unique content and special features (and re-vamping some sadly neglected ones). Thank you all so much. I always knew colour lovers were the best people out there! Oh and see you at that colour party, date to be announced.
