Hello! My name is Erika. Previously, a few years ago really, I wanted to start a cupcake business and had created a Facebook page for it and even had business cards made.  It never took off.  It’s not that my cupcakes weren’t good–they are pretty fabulous–it was that I wasn’t prepared.  Trying to create a food business is hard, even if its just home-baked goods you want to sell at a farmers market.  So Cupcakes by Erika has sat in a void for years.

Recently I started making some healthy meals and experimenting with more well-balanced recipes. It had me thinking back to 2011 when I created Cupcakes by Erika, how motivated I was, and how it all probably would have worked out better if it was a food blog.  Food blogs are super popular right now, so why not?

The name did not feel right anymore, though.  I am more than just cupcakes, and I would never get anywhere with just cupcakes.  I needed a new name that was more marketable, versatile  , and, well, fresh. So welcome to BlondiCakes, the new and improved Cupcakes by Erika.  I will post more than just cupcakes–I will share my healthy everyday meals, some of my personal recipes, and, of course, my cupcakes. I hope you enjoy!
