Willow Bird Baking just hit 1,000,000 all-time views. Typing something to you just didn’t feel like enough. Instead, I got out my sharpie-of-a-regrettable-color and wrote you a letter.
…A letter that you kind of have to be sideways to read. Okay, so I didn’t think through all the details. What can I say — I was filled with emotion!
Basically: Each and every comment, each and every visit, each and every kitchen triumph you’ve shared with me and with your families — each one has meant so much to me. Thank you so, so much.

I’ve never shared with you that I finally took the cheesecake challenge about 3 months after you gave it. I made 1/2 a German chocolate cake from a favorite recipe along with the coconut icing and used your cheesecake recipe for the bottom. Loved it. Thanks for the inspiration.
