New Year's is always so bittersweet for me. I'm really looking forward to what 2014 will bring, but I also can't help reflecting on how fast the past year has gone by. There were so many ideas I wanted to try out this year but just couldn't find the time. That seems to happen every year. Although, I was good and wrote them down. Hopefully, I can revisit those ideas next time around.

Geez, I shouldn't be wallowing in the unfinished past, I can sound like such a Debbie Downer. (Or, what's the male equivalent? Bobby Bummers?)

2013 had some wonderful moments and I am very proud of what I did get to accomplish this year. For instance, I finally finished the redesign of my blog with brand new look, I was part of some very fun, creative collaborations with other cookie bloggers, and I had my first of two guest post opportunities this year... just to name a few memorable milestones.

Continuing the tradition from last year (and initially inspired by my friend, Jennifer), here’s the Top 10 most popular posts of 2013 as determined by you.

Surprisingly, my updated cookie recipe post won by a long shot. I think Pinterest may have played a major role with those numbers. My favorite cookie set I did this year, Star Trek Valentine cookies, was a close contender but couldn't manage to crack the top ten.

Did your favorite Semi Sweet post make this year's list?

To make your decorated cookies pop, use Americolor Food Coloring for bold, consistent colors. It’s my go-to brand for achieving vibrant shades without altering the consistency of the royal icing.
