***********
Most of my IRL (in real life) friends and family are not big into social media. I say words like Pinterest or Instagram and they say, “You’re Excused.”
But you, you my dear friends, are a different story. We probably met through some form of social media.
Which I love.
I thought I would share with you my very favorite ways to communicate of late.
Facebook-I was late to start! I protested. I refused to be a joiner! Boy was I silly. I adore facebook! When I see a comment or a post I can click over to you page and find out more about you.
Twitter-I have to admit, I am not the best at twitter. Thinking up witty things to write in 140 is not something I do well. However, I do like reading other peoples tweets! And seeing whats trending. And finding new, fun, brilliant people to follow.
Pinterest-Probably the most revealing of all forms of social media. Pinterest is truly a glimpse into my soul… everything I love and hold dear. My friend Amy has written some interesting posts on the use of Pinterest, which has helped me to Be a Socially Conscience Pinner.
Stumble Upon- I have really enjoyed the variety that Stumble Upon brings. I have met some pretty amazing people through SU! One of my favorite things is sitting in front of my computer on a quiet Saturday morning with a cup of coffee and just click, click, clicking through stumbles. Being able to Thumbs Up a friend is an extra added bonus!
Instagram-Oh Instagram, how I love thee. Let me count the ways… I love your Earlybird and your Toaster and Nashville just to pick a few. As someone who is wretchedly terrible at fancy photo editing, I love how you simplify it for me!
Want to know what my favorite form of social media is???
(because you know that no post is complete without a surprise inside cake!)
Facebook! I just LOVE that its interactive and that I can really get to know you better!
(Sorry that ‘f’ is so wonky. Its hard to get an ‘f’ in a cake!)
So.
Because I want to be able to better connect to all of you, I want to give you something that will help us make that connection.

love me some facebook!!
I love a facebook the best by far! I love being able to know what my friends and family are doing, even though I’m going to school far from home.
Hi Amanda! I hope you’re doing well. Personally, I still really like email as a way to connect. It’s more personal (and private). But, Facebook is also very fun. I enjoy seeing photos and getting quick updates on what’s going on.
I use Facebook.
I’ve been “liking” iambaker on FB for some time now. Love your beautiful work. So inspiring!
I mostly communicate with friends and family through Facebook, but Twitter is my favorite! It’s fast, quick, and it could be quite addictive. My new love is Pinterest! And I am yet to discover Instagram:)
Great giveaway!
I was one of those that protested Facebook as well….but I’m glad I gave in!! I already “Like” your FB page. Thank you for the opportunity for an amazing giveaway!!

I’m definitely favoring Twitter lately. I love the quick and simple exchange of ideas, communication and information. I’ve really made some great connections and learned a lot from it.
Oh I would have to say Facebook as I check that that most (seen your post).. . . Though I love reading blogs and browsing pinterest
. Your f looks great!
I also “like” you on FB.
For me, Facebook wins hands down. I’m trying on Twitter, but I struggle with it. Now I’m brand new to Pinterest, so we’ll see how that goes!
I love Facebook and Twitter – but for different reasons
I already like you on FB…like we go WAY BACK (lol, well a whole year at least!!) and of course, I am the HUGEST FB FAN EVER- Love that I can have a personal page and a separate cakes page on FB!
I like you on FB too!
I follow you on Facebook.
Facebook is definitely my means of online communication outside of email which I guess is becoming obsolete.
I love all of these forms of social media! New favorite is Pinterest. It’s inspiring and a great form of relaxation for me
I met you through social media so I am very grateful for the relationships I’ve made through blogging and twitter!
I “like” you on Facebook, for a while now
I already am a fan . love the cake
I use FB way too much, it used to be better in my opinion but I would and do use it still to connect with friends and businesses. Pinterest is wonderful in a creative way.
Facebook is my favorite way to communicate. But I am a Pinterest junkie fo sho.
My favorite way to communicate on the internet is Facebook! (:
Tweeted!
Facebook, too!
I’m really into Facebook but in love with Pinterest! As a caker and a crafter I simply adore Pinterest and all the ideas. I’ve been really resistant to Twitter tho…not sure what the heck I’d say! LOL!
Of course I like you on facebook!
I have to say – I’ve had more fun with Twitter than I could have ever imagined. It’s a hoot.
LOVE the cake! Instagram is totally my fave, but I didn’t know you were on it! Now I have to find and follow you! lol!
I have always been addicted to Facebook. I love catching up with everyone and seeing into their lives! Recently I found Pinterest and am totally hooked. It is the coolest site!
Already like on FB
I’m going to go with Facebook, seeing as how it helped me keep in touch with my husband during his two deployments to Iraq. Being able to write little notes on his wall and have him write on mine, being able to chat with him, posting pictures of our son for him to see… it really helped bridge the physical distance between us!
And I’m already a Facebook follower! =)
I like you on facebook already.
I love Facebook! I don’t tweet, and am having a hard time getting into Pinterest.
Facebook for communication, but Pinterest and Blogs in my Google Reader are also high on my “P-leisure” list!!
I prefer facebook. Simple as that.
And I am a “liker” of iambaker on facebook
I have a tie between Pinterest and Twitter. I love both!
love the F in the cake, you are so talented. i am definitely addicted to pinterest, but facebook is still my favorite

I like i am baker on fb
Facebook! I’m on it all day long because I work in front of the computer. Love your cakes!
It’s funny – but Twitter is my preferred method of SM (right now anyway) – I know some IRL peeps there – but lots of ‘friends’ I have never met IRL yet…and for some reason – that leaves me some freedom to be myself…
On FB…those are ONLY friends who know me IRL, so I’m not always ‘free’ to share my thoughts there…call me crazy………………..
I like ya on facebook
facebook and twitter sometimes
I already like you on facebook… as you know.
I’m trying hard to avoid Twitter and Pinterest, even though I’m told I really shouldn’t.
I love facebook- but lately I spend every single second of free time on Pinterest. I’m hooked.
I love facebook…but I still have my reservations when it comes to adding friends.
oh! and I do like you on facebook
I am already a fan of yours on facebook and that is my preferred social networking site. I have a twitter login but still don’t understand how to use it, so I don’t . Love your work, I’m always in awe…
Facebook Fan!
I like you on FB =D
facebook is definitely my favorite way to keep in touch through technology. But I should confess that I am in LOVE with instagram and pinterest. I am definitely addicted!! What an amazing giveaway!!

I am beyond addicted to Pinterest – but I like the inter-connectivity of Facebook better. And yes, Stumble-upon in stolen moments with a cup of coffee is awesome. I have not yet embraced Instagram though. I guess I need to quit resisting
I also LOVE Instagram and Pinterest! I’m on twitter but I tend to be better at using FB! I also like you on FB already and plan to tweet this momentarily! Love the cake!
also, I’m already a Facebook fan, and I tweeted for ya too!
I am a fan of iambaker on facebook!
