Chocolate Log Blog – One Year On
Well, it’s hard to imagine, but this l’l ol’ blog is one year old today.
Challenges? Plenty of those: how to make something that might taste good but looks a little – hmm – shall we say “sad” into a photogenic edible delight; just trying to get a quarter decent photograph in bad light; turning up without a cake on someone’s birthday and not feeling guilty; trying not to be too disappointed when things didn’t work out as I’d hoped; thinking creatively of what to cook next; unrealistically raising CT’s expectations of cake every day.

Today, I harvested the first tomatoes we’ve grown for a few years. So excited. Latah is the red one growing outdoors, Indigo Rose and Ildi are in the conservatory.

Congratulations on reaching your first birthday.
I’d certainly agree that getting good photographs is one of the main challenges of blogging! Especially with chocolate products; it’s a bit like trying to photograph a black cat – if you’re unlucky you just get a dark blob with no details! LOL!

Congratulations. I am very glad to hear that you are not bored of chocolate yet, what would I do without your words on a regular basis? You have made me laugh with your list of challenges, they all sound very familiar. Looking forward to following you for the next year and I hope it brings even more achievements and successes.

OMG I just read your first post – Old Jamaica mmmmmm yum! When they re-released it last year, I was stock piling in case it disappeared. I have enjoyed your blog since I found it and look forward to seeing more of your lovely chocolate creations.

Thank you all for the good wishes and lovely comments. One of the things I forgot to say in my post is how much I appreciate the comments I get – so please do keep them coming.
Janice – I had no idea they had re-released Old Jamiaca. Will have to look out for it.

A cake? Well I did make a cake on Sunday and a very nice cake it was too. But after much debating decided to post it as a separate piece – which I will be doing at some point in the future.

Happy blogoversary, and may there be many more! You are lucky though – chocolate seems to be generally photogenic. One day I will take an appetising photograph of a casserole!

Thank you Mangocheeks and Foodycat. With a few notable exception, I’ve been lucky with photographs – the credit goes to our camera as I am no budding photographer. I’ve also been taking most of my photographs outside, which is not really practical for most savoury food. Everything I’ve seen on your site looks most appetising, so maybe you are worrying needlessly.
