I won!!!

Tuesdays with Dorie, one of the most fab cooking blogs around, recently hosted a competition for readers to submit new logo designs. Since I like a challenge and needed another excuse to procrastinate instead of study, I whipped one up and sent it off. And I won!

I created two versions of the logo for them - this one:


And a more brightly colored version:


I'm not sure which one they're going to use in their blog layout, but I'm so excited that they chose my design! As a prize, I get to pick the recipe from Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours that will be baked on July 7; I chose the 'Tribute to Katherine Hepburn Brownies', mostly because I adore Katherine Hepburn beyond reason, even if she looked like she never touched a brownie in her life.

This means that I'll also be baking along with the TWD blog for the first time, since the person who chooses the recipe also has to post it on their blog, preferably along with some gorgeous photos demonstrating the steps and/or end result (like so).

Hmmmm.

You all have seen the previous results of my cooking efforts. Like this. Oh, or this. So don't be surprised if my recipe post is full of incoherent babbling - I'm probably sobbing in a corner, surrounded by brownie making debris and humming to myself. And it will all be documented with photos. Check back in on July 7 to see my nervous breakdown!
