After reading the Chapter 2 reading, "Comparing Digital and Analog Media", I started browsing other baking blogs. I clicked on this link 12 Best Baking Blogs , and started looking through all the different blogs. I started looking at the "Improving Credibility" section on pg 39 and then going back to the blog, looking at how the blogs did with the different elements on the list. The first blog on the website is is The Vanilla Bean Blog . When the page opens up you see a simple white background, some tabs on the top, the name of the page on the right hand side and a large picture front and center. The page was easy to navigate and there were nice photos on the page.

There have been great strawberries in the store lately so this is my next cake venture! Strawberry Cake

Hi everyone! My name is Nikki and I am a mom of 2 that loves to bake! I love to bake everything from cookies, to cupcakes, to breads. My passion, however, is cake! I LOVE CAKE!
