Happy Easter and Passover everyone. May they be filled with friends, family and great food.

Happy St Patricks Day!

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Somethings really wrong w/ this site! Been having probs for over a month now! Every time I click on anything it takes a few mins to open!Which feels like 10 mins when your used to it being fast! Heavy sigh its hard to plan a Thanksgiving menu this way. (meaning trying something new)

We are currently retooling our cookbook app. While we work on it, cookbooks will be published to our web based community (here), but you won't find the app in the app store. We have to do a complete rebuild for the new IOS (as per Apple's request of all app makers). If you already have the cookbook cafe app installed, it will still work on IOS. Stay tuned for more info! Thanks!!!

We're working on our search tools this week... you may notice it's a bit wonky. Rest assured! We're on it!

Happy July everyone! We're having a heat wave out west - no ovens for us! How about you?

Happy June everyone! WOW this year has flown by. I hope everyone is starting to feel some sense of getting back to normal with places opening up. Are you eating out more?

Hi guys... if you see a "recipe" that's obviously spam, make sure you flag it so we delete it right away! We appreciate your help in keeping our website free of ads and spam!

Hi everyone! Just a reminder... we are currently working on a few upgrades as well as our ipad app. The app is currently only available on older devices -- apple's latest update has forced us to redo our app from the ground up! Boo!!! So we've been focusing on making the desktop version of the site better as we transition to our app development. If you have any suggestions on what you'd like to see, let us know!

Hi everyone - Happy Mother's Day weekend. I hope you have a terrific weekend celebrating the wonderful women in our lives.

We teamed up with ABC's Home Economics for a new cookbook -- check it out (go to home page and click on cookbook) or go here: https://www.bakespace.com/homeeconomics

Hey everyone... we made some changes to your profiles. We decided it would be best if we showed your entire recipe photo or cookbook cover on your profile (instead of the cropped one you might see on the other pages). That means, you might see some uneven photos. We debated and realized, best to show full photo! We hope you like the changes. oxoxo

HI Everyone! We updated our home page... and a few other items. Some of the home page items like contests haven't been updated yet - we are working on relaunching our monthly recipe contests. :) I suppose we're making changes one day at a time! Have a great weekend!

Happy Easter everyone who celebrates it... we made homemade chocolates (what a mess!) but also fun. If you're ever making chocolate bombs for hot cocoa.... make sure you use a big enough sphere. Ours were so tiny! We made robot chocolates too - lots of lessons learned. Hope you are having a great weekend.

What new features or fixes do you want to see on the site?

Hey everyone.... you're going to see some changes here.. (e.g., new home page, updated member profiles, a new top 100 members page, login will now go to your profile instead of this page to help cut down on the spammers and a few other updates). We're also working to put a recipe sifter inside your profile too --most of the changes will go live by tomorrow. If you have any trouble with the site, please let us know. Email us at [email protected] anytime!

Thanks to everyone who has been reporting spam you see on the site. It really helps keep the community a friendly place! :) If you see a recipe that is obviously spam, there is a flag icon on the recipe page where you can use to alert us. Thank you!

Hi Everyone! Hope you're having a great day. We just added an "air fryer" category to recipes and cookbooks. :)

We've had a lot of members emailing us about our role in your content. Since launching BakeSpace in 2006, we have never deleted a member's content (except if it's obviously spam). Your recipe is your unique contribution to our community. It's not our place to judge it or control its exposure. While we all don't have the same taste in food, we appreciate the community spirit you bring to BakeSpace and the wonderful unique flavors of our community potluck. We look forward to seeing all the great new recipes you share with us in 2021!

Happy Holidays! Cheers to a wonderful 2021!

Hi everyone! Thanks for flagging any spam messages and recipes you see! It helps us stay on top of them. Keep up the good work. And bravo on all the delightful cookbooks being made. So many great recipes being shared! Thanks for helping to make this year our tastiest one yet!

Happy Hanukkah everyone! Loving all the new recipes we're seeing... so festive! We're so ready for a fresh new year. 2020 has felt like we were in the movie Groundhog Day. :)

Hi everyone! Thanks for letting us know about any spam messages and recipes! Much appreciated. We delete as soon as we get a flag. Keep it up!

Hi guys! We've seen some issues with usernames with periods in them - if you are having any trouble with profile looping to home page, let us know. It's the period in the username. :) Send us a message and we'll edit your username for you. We're fixing the issue. Thanks for your patience. Happy holidays!

If you need your cookbook published ASAP, send us a message with your username in the contact form or email us at [email protected] We'll get on it!

Hey everyone! We're going to be hosting a PIE and COOKIE recipe challenge and live chats with our favorite pie and cookie cookbook authors. We'll post the updates in the next week! Stay tuned. You'll be able to win some fun prizes too! So get your pie and cookie recipes ready!

Hi everyone - if you are getting pages that say "not secure"... we have recently transitioned to our https (aka secure urls), but sometimes there's a quirk that gives you a message. Just proceed and the url will reload with the proper security url. This is a brower issue and we're working on it. Sorry about that confusion! :)

Hi everyone! Happy almost Halloween. What a year... We're working on a new home page, new recipe page, updated app and a series of contests launching. We're hoping to have them up soon. Until then, have a great Halloween... stay safe and spooky! :)

If you need your cookbook published ASAP, send us a message with your username in the contact form. We'll get on it!

Thank you to everyone who has been reporting our spammed recipes. We are deleting recipes and accounts as they come in. xoxo But thank you for letting us know!

When you login, you'll be able to see your friend's recipes by clicking on "the Community" box above. Select "my friends" for the feed to show your network's recipes. :)

Hi everyone! If you spot a recipe that's spam, send us a link on our contact us page or login and flag the recipe and we'll delete right away. Thanks! oxo

Hi everyone! We were featured in the Wall Street Journal - it highlighted one of our members Cathy - see her muffin recipe on the home page! If you have a WSJ account - you can access it here: https://bit.ly/bakespacewsj

Hi Everyone! We're working on our cookbook builder for the next couple of days. You may notice some quirks when you try to attach a recipe to a cookbook. This will be resolved shortly!

Happy Easter! Have you connected with us on our FB page? Join us at facebook.com/bakespace - We're sharing easter baskets there today!

WOW this coronavirus is insane. Lines at the grocery store, no toilet paper, no food! Are you buying your usual ingredients or are you making new recipes based on what you're able to find? My husband came home with power bars...

I've been adding parsley to my salads - I had no idea how delicious it tasted. We also add it to scrambled eggs. I used to think that garnish was just cute! LOLOL Do you have an ingredient you love that surprised you too?

Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were lovely! Over the next week or so you're going to see a few changes on BakeSpace. Let me know if you want any changes. :) OXOXO

Did you know you can add video to your recipes & cookbooks? Simply copy and paste the youtube video URL into your recipe or cookbook and it will be added!

I saw a post today saying it's "officially pie season".... I'm so down with that!

Hi Everyone... for some reason we're seeing spammers post "recipes" for drugs on the site. While we appreciate their ingenuity and interest in our site, it's not a very nice experience for members. If you see one of those recipes, feel free to flag it! Thank you to members like Tango for being our eyes and ears in the early morning to let us know some posters are being naughty! We're doing everything to stop those bots! oxox

Hello everyone! Happy cooking! Do you drink coffee in the am and do you add anything to it? I've been adding coconut oil and superfood powder. What's your morning routine?

Tomorrow Aug 22, will be BakeSpace's 13th anniversary. Where do I begin to thank the community and our members for helping to shape what BakeSpace is today? We started as a safe place to share recipes and evolved to be a place where you could publish your own cookbook. We also launched a conference and food event series.... but nothing is as sweet as seeing a new recipe added or a cookbook published. Or when I get a message from a new member about a new cookbook. While we might not have every bell and whistle, we do have a lot of heart. There are no words I can say to thank you for your years of friendship. Thank you for trusting us with your recipes (over 80,000!). I can't wait to share what we have planned next! :) This week please raise a glass in honor of us! Love you guys! OXOXO

Good morning everyone! Can't believe we're seeing posts about pumpkin already... say it ain't so... is fall almost here? With 90 degrees in LA, it doesn't feel like it. :)

Hi everyone! We've been off building some fun new projects (connected to BakeSpace of course) and we can't wait to share. All the new recipes are lovely! So many new cookbooks published too. Thanks for making our lovely community even sweeter!

Happy Spring! We're whipping up some fun new things for BakeSpace... hence us being MIA. We're loving all the new cookbooks and recipes being added every day! We just wanted to check in and say hi!

Hi everyone! It finally stopped raining in LA and I'm starting to see signs of spring. Lots of birds & butterflies. The hummingbirds are back! I feel like I'm responsible for feeding the neighborhood's birds and the variety of bird feed is a bit overwhelming (1st world problems!). :) Two giant crows even stopped by. Are you seeing signs of Spring in your neck of the woods?

Hi Everyone... it's been freezing here in LA - we've had to break out the soup recipes! What's for dinner?

Now that we survived the super bowl... let's gear up for Valentine's Day! :) It never ends!!!!

Hi everyone! OK, Superbowl... does anyone make a special game day recipe? We're in L.A. so we'll be rooting for the Rams (sorry New England, we still love you!)

I made the best recipe last night - total improvised. Butternut squash, mushrooms, onions and pumpkin seeds - it cost about $10 for dinner for two and was filling. I posted the recipe just now -- I hope you enjoy it!

Hello everyone! Happy New Year... what's next for us? We're starting to update our new mobile apps and we'll be updating our mentor sections. We're also bringing back our contests - lots of great stuff in the new year! I hope you and your family have a great new year! Do you have any recipes you make to bring in the new year?

Hello happy new year !

COOKBOOK AUTHORS! From Dec 23-27, we will not be able to approve PAID cookbooks due to Apple’s App Store holiday break. Any cookbooks you want approved BEFORE Christmas should be submitted to us by Dec 20th. This does not apply to free cookbooks. Those will be approved throughout the break. If you have any questions, please email us through BakeSpace (click on About) in the footer to contact us. Happy baking!

What's on your menu for Thanksgiving Are you more tried and true recipes... or are you trying a new recipe? I am going to make some pies.

For those in our community in the California fires (including myself), I hope everyone is safe. Everyone at BakeSpace HQ is safe and not in harm's way. Our thoughts are with you all today. OXOXO

Hi!! I'm back!! OMGosh these hurricanes, tropical storms are kicking my butt!! No power, no internet, used all my data on the phone when it finally worked! I have some damage from Florence.
