All Day I Dream About Food turns 4 years old today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, little bloggity-blog! And Swerve Sweetener is kindly offering you a chance to win fun prizes to celebrate. Plus 10 of my best low carb, gluten-free cake recipes.
I feel that I should wax poetic, make a big speech about my blog and everything it means to me. How it all started out on a whim, how I never expected anyone to be paying any attention and how amazed I am that I’ve built this baby into a full-time profession. All of which is very true. But more to the point, I am amazed by my readers; their loyalty and love is astonishing and keeps me going, even when times get tough. Every day, I get emails from people telling me that my recipes helped them stick to a healthier, low carb lifestyle. They thought they were destined for boring food and no sweet treats and having to rely on sheer willpower, and anyone who’s ever tried a diet knows how that goes! So I suppose you might say I have made it my life’s mission to turn that idea on its head. It started out with a selfish purpose, since I didn’t want to be stuck with boring food, no sweet treats and relying on sheer willpower to keep diabetes at bay. But it’s turned into so much more than that, a veritable community of people with the same goal: creating healthy and delicious food.
And Swerve Sweetener has generously offered to help me celebrate by donating a prize pack of goodies for you to create lovely low carb goodies at home. 4 of everything, including some of the coveted confectioner’s Swerve that’s been out of stock for a while. YAY! Check it out…
The Big 4 Swerve Giveaway!
- 4 Bags Swerve (2 granulated, 2 confectioners)
- 4 Event Timer
- Set of 4 Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls
- Set of 4 Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons
- 4 Spices from Penzey’s Spices (French Four Spice, Four Pepper Blend, Vietnamese Cinnamon, Nutmeg)
Besides a speech, I have the distinct feeling I should have made my blog a cake. Except my blog doesn’t have a mouth. I have a mouth, my husband has a mouth and my kids have mouths and we can do a cake some serious justice in this house. We ain’t afraid of no cake! But it seems kind of cruel to bake a cake for a blog that can’t eat it. However, in case YOU are in the mood to bake a cake for my blog, or you or someone you know has a birthday coming up, here are 10 of my best low carb cake recipes. All of which are perfect for celebrating a birthday, real or virtual! Any excuse to eat cake, right?
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake
Classic Chocolate Birthday Cake with Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting
Vanilla Bean Coconut Flour Cupcakes
Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cake
Pumpkin Spice Cake with Browned Butter Frosting
Chocolate Bundt Cake with Stout Caramel Sauce
Happy Blog Anniversary Carolyn!! You have such a gift and I am so glad to know you. Can’t wait until we get to meet in person at BlogHer Food! Keep up the great work – you are on a mission that is helping so many.
It seems amazing that we haven’t yet met in person, Jeanette!
Happy anniversary! All these recipes look great. Think I’ll start with the chocolate hazelnut mousse cake.
Congrats, Carolyn! All of us out here living with the restrictions of blood sugar are SOOO appreciative of not only your delicious recipes, but also the research you do and knowledge you have about health and which products are good, etc. You are a trustworthy and adorable source for amazing low carb goodies. Thank you! I need to make the pumpkin cake with brown butter icing. How has this escaped me until now!? And drooling over the chocolate cake with sour cream icing. I need to make some practice cakes for my upcoming 40th bday. 🙂
Happy, happy 4 years, Carolyn!!! xo
I seriously cannot believe you have been blogging for four years! That is so amazing. Congrats to you and happy blogiversary!
Thanks, Jocelyn!
Hi Carolyn,
I am having a problem getting the confectioner Swerve….any suggestions for an equal subsitution?
Everyone is having trouble getting it at the moment and they should have a big shipment in a few weeks! You can try other powdered erythritol but it’s not quite the same.
Happy blog anniversary! I don’t have a website but I love using your recipes as inspiration for cooking/baking. As a Registered Dietitian, I love that you use erythritol in so many recipes – it is my favorite natural sweetener! It is the best alternative in terms of baking characteristics, nutritional profile, and (maybe most importantly) lack of GI upset as with other sugar alcohols due to its absorption mechanism. So, thank you for developing great recipes using this awesome ingredient!
If I were to win the package, I’d definitely try to make low carb cinnamon rolls, maybe even pumpkin cinnamon rolls!
Thanks, Jamila! It’s refreshing to have an RD on board with the low carb lifestyle. 🙂
Peanut butter pies!
Happy Anniversary!
Cheesecake 🙂
Happy anniversary! Here’s to another 4 years!
Happy Anniversary!!!! Seriously chocolate cake and sour cream icing is just screaming my name! You just had to tease with all these pictures!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I really enjoy your blog. Thank you for taking the time to share with all of us.
I would love to make the Classic Chocolate Birthday Cake with Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting. Have not used Swerve yet, but I love Penzy’s spices.
Congratulations.
Love Swerve! It’s been a saving grace.
I love your blog! I would be making the brownie cheesecake! It is a family favorite.
Happy anniversary a d thanks for all of the inspiration.
Happy Birthday! You recipes have saved me numerous times!! Thank you for all you do. If I win, I want to make the mint chocolate truffles. They look do rich. Mmmmmmm!!
Happy, happy birthday! Love your blog 🙂
I’m going to make an awesome cake if I win! Why wait for a birthday to have cake!
True. Any excuse to eat cake!
Happy Anniversary!!!! Your website has been such a blessing to me and my loved ones! I truly appreciate the gift and passion that God has blessed you with!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I love you blog and it has been very helpful as I am new to low carb lifestyle. Thank you!!!

Yay! you will love it.
Happy blog anniversary! I so appreciate all your recipes. They all look and taste great!
Thanks, Cheryl!
Happy birthday dreamy blog. I love the inspiration to cook (and bake!) low-carb, and I’m thankful that you, Carolyn, go to lots of work to test out quirky ingredients and come up with workable recipes. Thanks Swerve for the prizes. I’ve been waiting for confectioners Swerve for months!
Happy Blog Birthday, Carolyn! I’m looking forward to many more of your recipes. If I win, I’m sure I’ll make the gingerbread cheesecake recipe. Who says you can’t have gingerbread in early Spring?!
i will make some low carb chocolate cookies

Thank you!
I use Swerve for all my baking! I love the scone recipes!
Wooo!! Blogiversary!
Congratulations Carolyn – and I sure wish I’d found you four years ago! I’ve been eating this way for a few years now and your recipes are definitely my favourites. There are so many I love, but the Brownie Cheesecake was to die for….. The only complaint I have is that since I live alone, I end up eating the same cake for a few weeks – even though I freeze portions – sigh…
Yep, that is a problem. I have the same problem!
The chocolate peanut butter cake!
Happy Anniversary! I found your site about 2 months ago and it has changed my low carb journey. I have a sweet tooth and all your recipes are satisifying my cravings without sacrificing the flavor. 🙂 I love Swerve!
Oops I forgot to say what I would make. Pumpkin Cheese Cake Muffins!
Thank you, thank you! I love all of your recipes!! 😀
Happy Anniversary! Think it feels like a chocolate cake kind of day!
Congrats on 4 Years! 🙂
I love your blog! We went gluten free with our daughter to try and control her ADHD which is the result of Neurofibromatosis, and your recipes are ones she adores! I would love to try swerve especially that confectioner’s kind!
The confectioners is very useful!
Congratulations on the anniversary! LOVE the giveaway!!!
Chocolate hazelnut cake
Happy blog birthday, Carolyn! I don’t remember seeing the Rootbeer Float Cupcakes before….one more thing on my growing list of yummy stuff to make! Also, did you know that you can make mousse with just chocolate and water? Apparently so….this is also on my list of things to try! http://sweetsoursavory.com/blog/2014/3/2/chocolate-mousse-just-two-ingredients 🙂
Yes, I have seen that. I do love the eggy kind, though!
Happy anniversary!!!
Your recipes are AMAZING! I have made your almond cake several times last week and was already planning on making it today. And my 14 yr old daughters birthday is next Mon and has already requested the chocolate peanut butter layer cake. Which is simply to die for!
Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Thanks, Jessica!
A very Happy 4th Blogiversary to you, Carolyn, and All Day I Dream About You! Thank you for all you do and all you share with us. This place you’ve built is awesome and loved by soooo many! You are a blessing in my life.
Alice B.
Happy Anniversary!
I’m so glad you are here sharing your recipes with the world! Everything I’ve tried has been great. In fact,I will be having some skillet chocolate chip cookie with my coffee this am. So double thanks!
Just made your dark chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting for my birthday, today! Oh, man, and is it ever a happy birthday to me. That frosting, Carolyn. I was eating it with a spoon last night. I will surely be making that recipe again!
Happy birthday!!!
Happy anniversary. Love your blog. Sign me up and pick me as the winner. 🙂
Happy 4 years! I might start off with a berry pancake topped with coconut whipped cream, yummm!
I’ve got a recipe that includes coconut whipped cream coming soon!
I would make some chocolate frappes and your brownie cheesecake. Happy 4th to you and your inspirational and life-saving blog!
Thanks, April!
The Internet is a wondrous thing when it comes to information. Your blog is my top spot to go to find new recipes!
Thanks, Robin!
Looks great!
Your Brownie Cheesecake is my “go to” recipe for special occasions at our house!
Oh and by the way, I’ll be trying your chocolate cake recipe.
Congratulations on four years of using your gifts and talents to help so many, me and mine included! What a difference you have made! Thanks for the recipes, the introduction to a healthier way of baking and – not exaggerating here – the restoration of a beloved hobby and essential part of who I am. Thanks!
I love Swerve and have a huge list of “goodies to try” but I think the chocolate eclair cake is at the top of the list as it looks decadent and perhaps a bit challenging. Can’t wait to try the custard.
Thanks, Susan!
Chocolate Chip Cookies!! I make a big batch, scoop the dough into little balls of yumminess and freeze them. When I’m cooking dinner at night (or reheating leftovers HA) it’s easy to set a couple out to thaw. By the time dinner’s over we have wonderful fresh hot chocolate chip cookies. Congratulations on the anniversary. Thanks for all you share!
Great idea!
These flavors are always my go-to so this would be first. Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake
My husband said he would make me the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake for my birthday this month.
Oooh, fun!
Congrats on your blogging anniversary! I love Swerve and would make lemon meringue pie with it! Or maybe just meringues!
I would make something w/ chocolate!
Happy Anniversary of your wonderful blog! Your recipes are amazing…made your coconut chocolate chip cookies again yesterday (and kicking myself because I forgot to bring any to work)! So far I have been liking the Swerve, and plan to make your chocolate cheesecake muffins next!
Happy Anniversary, Carolyn. I love your blog and read everything you post. I always know if it’s a recipe by Carolyn, I can be sure it will be good. Keep up the good work – many more happy anniversaries to you!
Happy Anniversary! I would make the coconut 3 layer cake, love coconut. I think my hubby would enjoy the root beer cupcakes!
Congratulations! Love your site and recipes.
Congratulations on four years! Your website has made it so much easier for my family to adopt and stick to our new low carb lifestyle. Thank you!
I will be baking cupcakes galore with my Swerve. I love love love it!
Great giveaway to celebrate! Because of your blog, I ordered Swerve and love it. This blog has been a godsend with needing to eat low carb during my pregnancy but still enjoying the occasional sweet treat. 🙂
So glad!
Happy 4th anniversary! Thank you for all the hard work you do:-)
🙂
Congratulations on your 4th year anniversary. This is an amazing site! I have made quite a few of your recipes and recommended this site to everyone that shows any interest in low carb,gluten free or sugar free recipes. My favorite was the pumpkin spice cake. There I learned what whey powder can do for the structure in gluten free baking. Thank you Carolyn for all the wonderful recipes and knowledge that you share! Here’s to another 4 years and beyond!
Thanks, Catherine!
Happy anniversary! So happy I discovered this blog a few weeks ago after my gestational diabetes decided to stick around too! My husband’s birthday is next week. Think I’m going to have to try making the dark chocolate peanut butter layer cake!
Happy anniversary Carolyn. I am a devoted follower. I think I like baking your way better than eating “regular” baked goods. I’ll use swerve to make some yummy chocolate treats … Maybe brownie donuts.
Thanks, Wendy!
Me again, forgot to say that I want to make the dark chocolate peanut butter cake, and serve it with your updated recipe of chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Might be overkill or chocolate peanut butter bliss.
Sounds heavenly to me!
I’ve never gotten to use Swerve, since I can never seem to find it in my grocery store! Dying to try it out and taste all these awesome recipes 🙂
Just grateful for your kindness in sharing recipes that makes life with diabetes easier.
You are so welcome, Chris!
Making that chocolate layer cake!
Coconut cream pie, or really any of the recipes where I’ve been wanting that elusive confectioners swerve!!!!!
Four already-you age so well! It’s all that clean eating I do believe! I gave up baking for myself and my diabetic mother ages ago and started baking just for the dogs! Sure, the poochies are thrilled with their homemade treats but I missed having a little something too! Thanks to you Carolyn and your amazing website everything’s changed! I can now indulge, guilt free, and have been introduced to so many great ingredients I never would have tried on my own! Here’s to many more birthdays!! Oh, making the Coconut Layer Cake and can’t wait!!
Thanks, Robyn!
Congrats! And thanks for making this blog. I am having to re-learn everything I know about cooking and eating, so this is very helpful!! I will LOVE to try miking the brownie-cheesecake or peanut butter chocolate cake!
I’d make faux Oreos for Easter!
Happy 4th anniversary! I’ve never commented before, but I use your site extensively while on keto. 🙂 I have a sweet tooth, so these recipes keep me sane! I want to make the brownie cheesecake again!
Thanks, Lei!
The pumpkin spice cake looks amazing! I have tried a few other sweetners but have not tried Swerve. I would love the chance to give it a try! Happy Anniversary..love your blog!
I would simply make lots of your yummy recipes!!!!
I would make something chocolatey – chocolate frosting and cake, brownies, etc!
Happy Blog Anniversary! I’d love to try ALL of the above recipes. Thanks.
Happy Anniversary!! One of my go to sites!! Thank you for all of your fantastic recipes and info! 😀
Happy anniversary – you and your blog are the best!
Thanks!
Happy anniversary! Thanks for all the delicious recipes you share! That chocolate peanut butter cake…it’s calling my name!
“And MANY more!”
congrats on your blog anniversary! you have so many amazing recipes it’s hard to choose which one to make first, but the chocolate eclair cake is catching my eye at the moment!
Happy Blogaversary! Thank you for everything you do. It would be hard to choose what to make first but those root beet float cupcakes are so cute and sound delicious.
Happy Anniversary! Love the recipes- please keep sharing!
Happy Birthday! You have accomplished so much in a few short years. I have had my eye on the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake and the Vanilla Bean Cupcakes and the Chocolate cake. Yum. Looks so delicious. Wanting maybe to surprise my Dad who is a diabetic with the chocolate peanut butter cake at his birthday in August!! Thanks for all your hard work, creativity and sweetness!!
Loretta
Thanks, Loretta
I would make some chocolate cupcakes for my twin’s upcoming birthday with the Swerve Giveaway winnings!
Congrats! I’ve loved your blog over the last couple of years. My husband is diabetic, and it’s been great to have inspirational recipes to cook fun food for him!
Thanks, Becky!
What WON’T I make?!? I use it for so many things, but probably the first would be one of my avocado “milk” shakes.
Happy anniversary!
Congrats on 4 years and thank you for putting out such a wonderful, high-quality blog!
And thanks for introducing me to Swerve! We love it and use it in all our desserts now. I just made your coconut cake and already my hubby is asking for more…having four bags of sweetener will keep us in cake for a while.
Thanks, PJ!
Happy Anniversary! Congratulations on four years! The recipes you provide are fantastic!
I would use the Swerve set to make most of the coconut recipes in a previous blog. Mmm, first the carrot cup cakes.
Thanks for a great site and all your help.
Carolyn, where in Arizona can you purchase Swerve?
Not sure if it’s in stores in AZ yet, but you can purchase online or on amazon.com
Happy 4 years! Your recipes are some of my favorite to use, so thank you. I’d like to make something chocolatey. Something like a cake of yours.
Happy day…with more to come!! I will have to bake today!!
Happy 4 Years!!! I think I’ll make the vanilla cupcakes with my daughter in celebration. Thank you for your wonderful website!
Happy Anniversary! You have the best low-carb blog around and I have a backlog of things I want to make.
Thanks, Joni!
Love your recipes!
The brownie cheesecake looks delish!
Would love to try making that chocolate layer cake with Swerve!!!!
Happy Anniversary! Thanks for all that you do! I think I’d start with chocolate hazelnut mousse – but I want to make them all!!!!
Happy anniversary! Keep the great recipes coming! I saw a few cake recipes I’d like to try, and it would be even better with some Swerve to bake them with.
Vanilla bean cupcakes sound amazing! Great giveaway!
Happy anniversary. Your recipes look great and I would love to try Swerve!
I would make a Texas Sheet cake, a Chocolate Eclair Cake and a Carrot Cake to start. Then I would move on to a Red Velvet Cake, a Spice Cake and the list goes on and on!! I’m gluten-intolerant and diabetic so I was so excited when I started following your Facebook Posts and your Blog!!!!
Thanks so much, Carol. That’s a lot of cake! 🙂
Happy Anniversary! This is a wonderful giveaway to celebrate 4 wonderful years. Thanks for all you do!
Foe got to say what I’ll make…Root Beer Float Cupcakes look delish!
Chocolate cake with chocolate icing is talking to me! Happy Birthday ADIDAF! Keep bringing yummy low carb, no sugar recipes to my life. The are a true life saver!
Happy blog birthday! Your peanut butter swirl brownies are calling my name!
Awesome, happy anniversary!
All… the possibilities!
My son would love that dark chocolate peanut butter layer cake for his birthday.
Happy Birthday! Thanks for all the yummy recipes
Happy Anniversary!!
If I win – I will definitely try to make the Chocolate Cake with Peanut butter frosting. I pretty much want to try every baked good recipe on your site!
I would make a Gluten Free No sugar spice cake!
Iwould make the chocolate cake and frosting. Not having Swerve has stopped me.
I would make a delicious cheesecake for my family and one for my coworkers. They always love the food I make for them. I try my best to help everyone eat healthy.
I want to make your Nanaimo Tart. Looks delicious! Happy Anniversary Carolyn!
Thanks!
Happy 4th Anniversary! I bet if you would take those 4 years of recipes and put them in a spiral bound binder and call them something like Carolyn’s Dream Low Carb recipes, you would make a killing, and have to do multiple printings! I too have had nothing but success with your recipes, and the sweet recipes are to die for! Even though I am lactose intolerant and can’t make so many any more, I still come to look. I’m trying to get my mom to go low carb b/c I know it would be so much better for her health, but it’s a slow go. I bet you any $$ that if I were to bake up a few sweet things for her to eat every week, she’d stop going to the grocery store and stocking up on her old sweet junk. I’m always recommending your website as one of my favorite to turn the tide on low carb indulgences. Congratulations again! P.S. Can’t wait to try the root beef float cupcakes!
Thanks, Rica. I have a dairy-free cupcake recipe coming soon so hang tight!
For Pete sake! Root beef float cupcakes – my mind is going, but my sense of humor is still intact, and I’m not backing down! I just found out that a prescription medicine that I was taking for my thyroid was giving me all these “dairy intolerant,” symptoms and more! So, I’m weaning myself off it for a while, and will try a few more unconventional methods for getting that critter (my thyroid) back under control, and maybe I won’t have that “dairy intolerance,” any more. One can only hope! On the plus side, both my husband and I adore your Coffee Walnut Dacquoise. Before I went low carb, I had taken some baking classes, and was introduced to a Dacquoise, at a local community college and we made this “standard” cake, but this is so much better! And I loved that it was low carb. I’ve even toyed with the idea of making “personal pan” Dacquoise so they could be transported better.
But, I would totally welcome a dairy free option on any sweet good, b/c know there are a lot of folks out there who have this affliction. Thank you again Carolyn, for all you do and are.
Congratulations on 4 yrs!!! I’d love to make the Rootbeer Float cupcakes for my girls & I! 🙂
they all look great.but..the cheesecake would be my first project
thanks and congrats!
Happy 4th anniversary! I hope I win!
Happy birthday and congrats on your success! I would make oh-so-many Trim Healthy Mama recipes if I won.
This is the first gf/sf site that I came across a couple years ago and where I initially learned about Swerve. I remember how excited I was to come across a sugar substitute that doesn’t give you cancer. The site has been a God send for my autistic daughter with gut issues that I have been trying to heal for so long and she is doing so much better after being gf/sf. Best of all, she can have cupcakes and deserts now instead of just watching the other kids eat theirs!!! Thanks for starting this blog Carolyn, we are so grateful!!!
So glad to hear it, Joey!
Happy Anniversary!!! I wish I could stay home today and make all those yummy looking cakes!!!!!
Frosting is my weakness!!
Happy Birthday!!!! I love the blog and LOVE trying all your yummy recipes.
Love your blog!! I am excited to try out a bunch of your recipes, as my husband was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I already eat low carb, but now we’re both eating low carb and he’s being extremely diligent about every item that he puts in his mouth. Swerve has been a godsend for us so of course we’d love to win!!!
Happy blog anniversary!!!
OH! And, it’s both mine and my daughter’s birthdays this month so I will be making birthday cakes 🙂
Happy Anniversary! I think I should make something to celebrate….
Lemon fat bombs
So many brownies
Apple pie!
I love the recipes you share. I have so much fun making the easiest ones! Thank you for all you do for me.
I’ve been wanting to make the coconut chocolate chip cookies again! And now the skillet cookie!
I’ll make lots of delicious treats for my gluten free, sugar free daughters!
I would love to win this, all your recipes look so amazing and I’ve been dying to try something with a frosting for forever!
Obviously, I would make all the recipes you linked at the same time with the Swerve
Congratulations! I would make the Vanilla Bean coconut flour cupcakes 🙂
I’ll be making Chocolate Eclair Cake!! I’m trying to be gluten free and hubby is diabetic – makes life boring!!! Thank you for the opportunity to try Swerve!

Happy, happy birthday to you and your wonderful blog! I started mine 2 weeks after you did…gosh, we’ve come a long way!!! xo
Can’t wait to celebrate yours too, Liz!
I definitely need to make that chocolate/peanut butter layer cake.
There’s so many choices! Maybe the pecan pie bars? I’m in the middle of making the hazelnut mousse cake.
Happy Blog-iversary! I cannot wait to try some of your cake recipes. They all look sinfully good 🙂
Congratulations on 4 years, so awesome! I would make so many wonderful things…creme brulee, brownies, & that scrumptious looking dark chocolate peanut butter cake!

Yep, a LOT of comments!
What wouldn’t I make of yours??? Too many delicious choices 🙂
Happy Anniversary!! I love Swerve & I’ve been chomping at the bit to try out an oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe. Yum!!
I want to make the chocolate eclair cake right away! Happy 4th anniversary!!
My husband has lost 54 pounds eating LCHF. Every time we want to make something we check your blog first for the best ideas. We love your stuff. Keep it coming.
Thanks Aliesha!
The real question is, what won’t I make with Swerve?! My favorite thing would probably be cheesecake though!
Happy Blogiversary! So, so, so glad I found you! Not only are your recipes fabulous, but you yourself are an inspiration to me!
Thanks, Hope. That is sweet of you to say.
Happy anniversary. Classic birthday chocolate cake is where I would start
Happy blog bday. I would make the chocolate birthday cake with the Swerve.
All those pictures of cake have my mouth watering! It will be a year in April since I decided to try low-carb to lose weight, and then made the choice to try an adopt a more low-carb lifestyle for my family as well. Your Blog has been a real encouragement, and has really helped me find some great low carb foods that the whole family enjoys.
Lots of yummy desserts
Congrats & Happy Anniversary!!!
congrats! I can’t believe you’ve only been at this blog for four years!! If I win? chocolate cake—my due date is tomorrow and i’m sure I’ll be craving something sweet once she arrives!
Hope your little one comes quickly!
Happy Blog Anniversary! I think you are so talented to be able to convert so many recipes to much healthier alternatives. I’m still trying to get hubby on the low carb train, slowly but surely. Thanks for all your hard work!
What a wonderful giveaway! I’ll need to try that brownie cheesecake if I win this;)
Congrats! I’d make the eclair cake, or maybe something with chocolate and hazelnuts (my absolute favorite combo!)
Happy Anniversary! I definitely would start out making the chocolate cake!
Happy birthday! !!! I would be making Chocolate chip cookies, muffins, & breads.
Congratulations on a successful 4 years!! We have all benefitted from your recipes! Thank you so much.
Happy Blogversary! I just found you through the WheatBelly Cookbook by William Davis M.D. . Am looking for recipes that will taste good and follow the wheat free lifestyle. If I won I would like to try making some of your recipes for muffins.
I forgot to say what I would make with the Swerve! I would make myself one of your guilt-free birthday cakes–what an exciting thought. Happy birthday to me!!
Hooray and congrats on the blog birthday!
Your blog and I share a birthday! I just found you a few month ago and have enjoyed every recipe I’ve tried, Thanks!
Oh…I don’t know what I’d make first…probably something with chocolate and peanut butter!
Love your site, I check it out daily. Happy Anniversary! Your recipes help me stay on track, I never feel like straying when I have them in the house.
Thanks!
Happy anniversary! Thanks for having a blog with such goodies!!
The root beer float cupcakes would probably be a big hit at my house!
I love this product! It has a great taste and I have enjoyed cooking with it! I just made chocolate chip cookies with it and also a double chocolate cheesecake. It was great. Anyway I could do so much with this prize and I look forward to that opportunity!!
I use it for everything, but would definitely start with the dark chocolate peanut butter cake!
The brownie cheesecake for sure…yummmmm! 🙂
That brownie cheesecake sounds mighty fine!
Happy blog anniversary! May you have many more years to come… all right, that’s a selfish wish; I want four more years (and beyond) of delicious recipes. 😉
Cant wait to make more of your incredible desserts!! I have so many more to try!
Happy Anniversary! Your recipes ALWAYS turn out great. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe gifts with everyone.
Happy anniversary! Hm, I just made your maple bacon shortbread recipe this weekend and I would definitely use the prize winnings to make it again! Soooo good!
I will use it to make some low card almond brownies!
Happy Anniversary!! I would like to make the Pumpkin Spice Cake!!
Congratulations! It’s fabulous that you’ve been able to make a full-time career out of providing wonderful recipes for those of us who have discovered a healthier way of eating!
I only came across your blog a couple of months ago but have already made a number of your recipes with great success. The latest was the Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie:
https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2014/02/skillet-chocolate-chip-cookies-low-carb-and-gluten-free.html
Even my eldest son, who usually turns up his nose at my low carb offerings, declared it really good. No he’s not a kid, but has been pretty skeptical of how good my food can be.
We’re having it again tonight, although my husband will go out and get some ice cream to go with it.
I have a long way to go before I run out of making your goodies, maybe I should have dessert 3 times a day! Just kidding 🙂
I just ordered the 22 lb bag of Swerve and can’t wait until it gets here so that I can make more yummy treats.
congrats on your anniversary!
Vanilla cupcakes!
i want to try this
Happy anniversary!!! I just LOVE your blog. It is my go-to for lowcarb recipes and the recipes always come out great!!!! Thank you for your hard work!!!!
Thanks, Mae!
I have so many of your recipes pinned I will have to decide which one will be first! Happy Birthday/Anniversary!!! May have to pin some more of these though!
I would make delicious cupcakes!
Happy Anniversary. Your recipes keep my family loving grain and sugar free living. Your brownie cheesecake is our favorite dessert.
Condensed milk, magic cookie bars and dulce de leche. I follow several low carb blogs but honestly, your recipes are the most reliable (and delicious). Before I found you I would make a low carb dessert and be so frustrated. Thanks!
Happy anniversary! All your recipe’s are amazing! And I’m so glad I discovered Swerve!!! Thank you for all your wonderful recipe’s!
Wishing you a Happy 4th Anniversary of your blog. Being diabetic and gluten intolerent is no easy thing. Thanks for all your hard work and giving us all the wonderful recipes.
Something with peanut butter and chocolate! I’m just not sure what.
I’ve got a TON of recipes for PB and chocolate!
First things first, I would totally make a Texas sheet cake. And then probably every recipe on this blog 😉
Thanks, Heather!
Congrats and thanks for all you do Carolyn!
I was flown out to Tuscan as a brand new Holistic Wellness Coach teaching the Keto diet to a couple. I made 3 of your great recipes and they were a big hit. Even their sugar addicted brother liked them and the 94 year old Mom loved them too! And they were: Dark Chocolate Walnuts, Pumpkin Scones and Blueberry Cheesecake Coffeecake, with Swerve of course!
( Good writing you do as well.)
Love,
Susan
Wow, Susan! That’s really cool and very flattering!
Happy 4th Birthday 🙂
I’d definitely make that peanut butter chocolate cake. It looks so good!
CONGRATS!!!! So so happy for you. You’ve built a wonderful community and have so much to be proud of. And I do hope you go ahead and have a big slice of cake, on behalf of your blog since it can’t enjoy it. You deserve it!
First up on my bake list: That chocolate cake with stout caramel sauce. I might share 😉
Thanks, Erin!
Congratulations on your blog-o-versary !! I’ve been reading for 2+ years now and your recipes have definitely helped me keep my body healthy during my time as a college student. I still have your recipe for carrot cake pancakes bookmarked, gonna try and work on making those
Congrats on your blog. Great recipes. Great for us that can’t eat sugar.
Oh, my, what a tantalizing giveaway! I’ve been wanting to try Swerve, but haven’t found any locally so I guess it means ordering online — and soon 😉 Cheesecake is calling my name — so that would be my choice — luscious. cheesecake. oh. yes.
HAPPY 4th…Here’s hoping for 40 more!
Whoo Hoo! I am so thrilled at having found your site. Oh yeah I would love to get my hands on some of that confections Swerve! Love all your recipes. I would make something chocolatey for my dessert.
Happy Happy Blog Anniversary. Love your blog. Cool giveaway to celebrate.
Susie
PS. I would make a lot of your desserts if I won. 🙂
Well, since I would love to use Swerve on all of my sweet treat/dessert recipes, I’d have to narrow it down to a mock Snickers candy that I love!
Happy Birthday, blog!! 😉
Thanks, Regan!
I make all kinds of low carb goodies at Whole Food Mom on a Budget! I’ve always used Truvia but I would love to try Swerve!
Just bookmarked your blog and am looking forward to checking it out!
Congrats, Carolyn! I’m one of the many who are SO grateful that you’re here doing what you do every day ♥
The eclair cake is screaming for me to make it! Oh, and as of yesterday, the only place I could find Swerve confectioners sugar (that wasn’t in 50 pound bags), was on Amazon for $15. WHAT?! I’ve still never tried it, but I’d love to!
You’re always so nice, Becca. Any chance we will meet in person sometime soon?
congrats!And thanks for all the wonderful recipes! My twins have a birthday in a few days,and this would be lovely.thanks
I would make all of your low carb recipes! Oh I would be living on cloud nine if I actually won this giveaway.
Congratulations on your 4th anniversary! I cannot believe in just four Yeats how far you’be come;itanazing. Any tips for aspiring bloggers like me?
Well, sure. If you want to chat about it, we can!
A yummy recipe you inspired me to try and adapt from sugar to Swerve for Spicy, Salty, Sweet Mixed Party Nuts. Yum! Happy anniversary!
I want to try the chocolate cake, because it’s chocolate and looks delicious. Happy anniversary and thank you for so many wonderful recipes.
Congrats and Happy Anniversary!! My mom and I love reading your blog and trying the recipes together! You always come up with something delicious 🙂
Happy 4 years! Would LOVE to try Swerve.
I would love to make your Classic Chocolate Cake !!
Oh, that peanut butter cake has been whispering to me ever since you posted it.
Make me…make mmmmmmeeeeeeeeee! 🙂
Happy four years!
I am going to have to make the brownie cheesecake. My daughter is a type 1 diabetic and loves cheesecake. She requested a cheesecake for her birthday cake next month and I just found my recipe. THANK YOU.
It’s a good one! Some people have found that they need to bake the bottom a bit longer than I did. Just make sure it’s not fully cooked but not too wet either. Hope that helps!
I think I will make a banana cake with cream cheese frosting. It sounds soooo good.
I just made your Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake for my sweet daughters birthday and everyone is begging for more!!!
So glad to hear it!
Congratulations Carolyn! Wow, look at all the fans you have! Many thanks for all the great ideas and recipes you post!
Swerve has opened up a whole new world to me in the kitchen, and I want to us it to make one of your cake recipes. Thanks for sharing your journey and your recipes!
You have the BEST blog! I would love to try Swerve at some point, perhaps to make your Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake.
Happy 4th birthday! I would love to try the swerve in your amazing recipes, to see if it makes them even better!
Happy Blog day and soon-to-be-birthday! That pumpkin spice cake is calling my name! And, now that I’ve stocked my pantry with several bags of Swerve – bought directly from Swerve Canada as it was just about impossible to find it retail here – I shall be one happy little baker for a while! Lovin’ your blog, Carolyn!!
Carolyn, Happy Anniversary!!!! Congratulations on 4 wonderful years and thank you for everything that you do! xoxoxo
Congrats! I am new to the blog, and just learning about/starting a low carb lifestyle so have found your blog very helpful. Thx!
Oh and what would I make? One of your yummy cake recipes! I have been waiting for the powdered swerve to be back in stock and have never used it
Happy Anniversary! My mouth is watering with all the recipes but i think I really will try the pumpkin spice cake with browned butter frosting!! Yum!
Congrats – it’s always a pleasure to see what’s cookin’ at “All Day…” (:
Whoops – forgot to post what I would make first. Tough call… but your Coconut Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins have been on my mind. (Those lonely, neglected berries in the freezer could be put to good use!)
Happy Birthday ADIDAF! Always so excited to see you in my inbox!
Happy anniversary!! I have been following your blog for a couple of years now and it has helped me stay on track with my low carb lifestyle. Thank you for all you do! I don’t know if I have a favorite recipe, but I love your cinnamon roll biscotti, nanaimo bars, and your lemon creme cake. 🙂
I would make the pumpkin spice cake with browned butter frosting forvdure. I also have a list of your recipes on my to make list 🙂
Congratulations on 4 years. Thank you for all you’ve done and each and every post.
The first thing I’ll make is your chocolate bundt cake with Stout caramel glaze….been dying to try that recipe FOREVER 🙂
I would make the chocolate cake with sour cream frosting. Love your recipes, love your blog. Sincere thanks on all your heard work and recipes! You keep us going low carb well!
Happy Blogiversary! Hope there are many more years of yummy inspiration to come! I’ve been thinking (dreaming) about that coconut cake.
Happy Birthday All Day I Dream About Food
There are a few of us at work that use your recipe’s all the time to keep on track with our new low carb lifestyle. We all like the blondies so now I can not wait to try the newest recipe posted: Peanut butter chocolate chip blondies. thanks so much for helping me keep on track with some very tasteful recipe’s
Thanks, Sandy!
Happy Anniversary Carolyn! I love your recipes and positive outlook on life. You are an inspiration!
I just discovered your blog last week…and what can I say…WOW….WOW!!!! You have done all the hard work for us and I’m gonna bake….everything!!!!!
Happy Blog Anniversary to YOU…
Happy Blog Anniversary to YOU…
Happy Blog Anniversary Dear All Day I Dream About Food…
HAPPY BLOG ANNIVERSARY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!
What would I make if I won the Swerve giveaway??? EVERYTHING decadent on your blog….I haven’t tried making any desserts yet, so this would be a perfect opportunity for me to experiment!!!!!!
Hi! I would make myself a birthday cake (by which I mean cheesecake!) if I won this awesome prize pack. Congrats on the 4 yr. blogiversary!
I can’t even begin to think of what I’d make – everything! My husband doesn’t like stevia and we’re trying to change our eating habits. I know he’ll be happy that we can have some sweetened foods without the stevia taste. 😉
I am behind a few years…but so happy to finally find you! Thank you for contributing so much JOY in my life by learning to bake in a healthy fashion!! Thanks for your help! Looking forward to 4 more years with YOU!
i would make a chocolate cake if I won this giveaway
well a very Happy Birthday to this blog. It has been amazing for me you are such an inspiration. I would love to win this contest as I am having a horrible time trying to find Swerve Sweetner it would come in so handy about now. Keep the wonderful recipes coming. Nancy
Thanks, Nancy!
I would make the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake. YUMMY!
Do I have to pick just one? I’d probably make a chocolate cake!
Happy Birthday!! Trying to decide which cake to make on a snowy day.
Happy Anniversary! And wishing you many more – your blog is the best thing ever! An answer to a prayer – sugar-free, low carb and delicious! Yay!
Happy 4th Anniversary! You and your recipes saved me during my last pregnancy. I can’t thank you enough. 🙂 I would start with the Chocolate Eclair Cake. Mmmmm!
Wow, BIG congrats on the blogiversary!! I’m so glad I found this blog a few years ago, your recipes are pure genius and inspiration. I’ve loved this blog for years now, and I know without a doubt I will STILL love it in the years to come 🙂
Thanks, Jessica!
If I were to win the swerve, I would make your low carb condensed milk 🙂
I am undecided between the Chocolate Eclair cake or the Coconut Layer Cake! I haven’t had the chance to try one of your recipes yet but you get so many rave reviews I can’t wait! Happy Anniversary and Thank you for giving me a blog to drool over and not break my Low Carb WOE!
So in the mood to make cake (is it wrong to want it with my coffee??) I’ve never tried Swerve, since I can’t easily find it. I always sub with stevia, but would love to actually make one of these recipes the right way! 🙂
Happy anniversary! I love your sugar free desserts.
Congratulations Carolyn, you have helped, my hubby and I, keep on the Wheat Belly diet which has dropped my blood pressure from 220/113 to 110/68 and my hubby’s blood sugars to 80’s and 90’s . We tried many of your sweet treats and Swerve has been THE sweetener. No aftertaste and wonderful Carolyn baked goodies. I would make the pumpkin spice cake for myself ( since I don’t like chocolate) and chocolate eclair cake for my hubby( who does).
A thousand, four hundred and sixty birthday wishes for each day of fabulous recipes, information and successes. Keep them coming and here’s to many more days and years ahead. A great big congratulations …..p
I’ll make something chocolate! Maybe your PB and chocolate cake. YUM!
These all look great, don’t know what to try first.
Happy Anniversary!!! has to be the coconut cake!
I love your blog and hope that it continues on for many more years!!
Happy Birthday! The Brownie Cheesecake is calling my name!
I’d start with cheesecake and work my way through your recipes!
What a great prize pack!!! If I win, I’ll definitely be making some low-carb, gluten-free pancakes, and I have a great spice cake recipe that the family loves!
Happy Birthday!! I make your stuff all the time, my husband even follows your blog so he can make updated requests on what he wants for dessert. My next recipe I will be making will be Coconut Layer Cake! I mean it is your birthday…so that means I get cake right?? Never tried swerve, so I hope I win!!
Happy anniversary!! Those cakes all looks so delicious I’m having a hard time deciding which I want to make – I’ll just have to make them all (though not at the same time, LOL). =)
I have just recently found your blog, so I am looking forward to trying many of your recipes. Happy Birthday!
Happy anniversary, Carolyn! I would love to try those root beer float cupcakes! I do miss root beer floats!
I have a story to share about Swerve. I was recently in a health foods store (one of two stores in our entire state that the Swerve website lists as selling their products) about an hour from my home, and I attempted to redeem a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for Swerve. The store manager was reluctant to accept the coupon because it expired the next day, and he wouldn’t be able to get it to his coupon redemption facility before the expiration date. I was very disappointed, and he proceeded to call the Swerve company and explain his dilemma. They told him to go ahead and take care of his customer (me!) and they would send him some free product to compensate for his inconvenience. Now, that’s a company I can fully support!
Oh my gosh, how wonderful!
I will be trying out all the desserts that have Lemon in them, Cinnamon in them, Chocolate in them, Peanut Butter in them, Coconut in them…have I left anything out?
I’ve been trying to stay away from desserts, but not I’m ready to try them all (one at a time).
Happy Anniversary! I just recently found your blog and LOVE it! I haven’t tried Swerve yet and would enjoy the chance to try it out with any of your recipes.
Happy Birthday to one of my most favoritest blogs on the InnerwebnetAOL! I’m entering, but I make your pecan caramel delicious bars (I can’t remember their given name) alllll the time. I <3 IDIDAF!
THANKS!
I will make your panna cotta again with swerve and the chocolate pecan pie bar
Happy Birthday Carolyn, Your blog has become my most meaningful visit to the web.
I was finally able to get Swerve Sweetner in one of the stores around.
Wishing you many more years in the blogospere
Happy Anniversary! Looking forward to trying new recipes with Swerve!
I guess I am missing something, somehow my comments do not get posted for some reason. Could you please help. Thanks
If it’s your first time commenting, I have to approve them. It’s just to cut down on spam!
Definitely would make the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake!
I would make one of these amazing cake recipes! your recipes are all so good!
Thanks, Terry!
Happy birthday!!! I’ll be sure to eat some cake on your behalf. I think I’ll start with that eclair cake. 🙂
Happy Birthday. I am so happy with your recipes and make it easy to make sweets for my diabetic daughter. We have been craving a chocolate cake, so it may be the next item to bake.
So glad I can help!
So many to choose from but definitely the peanut putter cake!!!
Congratulations on your anniversary! Love your blog and will be making the brownie cheesecake or pumpkin spice cake. Thanks for the giveaway!
The Brownie Cheesecake looks really good. Think I will make that one!
Congratulations! your recipes have helped make my eating life more fulfilling…I now have choices, as a diabetic, if I want to include healthy treats that won’t raise my blood sugar. Pricelsss!
Happy Birthday and I have started to use it for everything. Wish it was sold locally.
Oh how exciting. Your blog is my absolute favorite… I don’t have to experiment with these recipes..if they are here, I know they work and are awesome! Thank you! My birthday is on the 17th..and I keep eying these cakes…
I’d love to enter…unfortunately the entry seems to not be working.
That’s lovely to hear. But what happened to the entry? did it give you an error message? Try again and tell me what it says and I will see if I can fix it.
I have been following you since almost the beginning. I look forward to your blog everyday and have enjoyed your humor and your wonderful recipes. Please keep up the GREAT work!!!!!
Happy Birthday! I’m so glad I found your blog. I thought perhaps my days of eating cake were over. I’m a chocoholic as most all of us are. That being said, I would make chocolatey chocolate treats with the Swerve.
Well, happy bloggiversary! I just discovered you about a month ago as I’ve started a ketogenic diet. Your recipes are great and inspiring. And Swerve has been so helpful with being able to do this without feeling like I have to sacrifice all sweets!
Thanks, Shari!
Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake! I love you, I love Swerve, and I love Penzey’s!! It’s a hat trick of love!
Thanks, Stephanie.
I think I would start with that yummy Pepperidge Farm make over coconut cake. We used to love that cake. I’ve been craving it lately – but not enough to buy one!
Happy Anniversary! I just wanted to let you know that you have given me some great recipes for my granddaughter, age 7, who is diabetic. Most recipes are too old for her tastes or that she wouldn’t like. I can always find something here. Thank you so much and I will continue to watch your site.
So glad to hear it, Mary!
I will make the Dark chocolate peanut butter layer cake. I am new to all this and trying to find dishes to satisfy my very skinny diabetic husband who is always hungry! Thanks for your recipes!
All your yummy desserts I have been wanting to try
Happy Anniversary! That hazelnut mousse cake looks simply divine! I go crazy for anything hazelnut.
I love Swerve!
Happy birthday to your blog 🙂 I’ve been wanting to try Swerve to make several things from your blog. I’ve tried straight erythritol, and just can’t get used to that cooling effect.
Congratulations ! I love your low carb, low sugar recipes. With a celiac, diabetic in the family they have been a blessing to me.
Oh, I forgot, I would make that chocolate bundt cake with caramel icing. It looks so yummy.
Congrats!
congratulations, Carolyn! I discovered you a few months ago and WOW! I’ve made several things from the blog, but I especially loved the chocolate tart with caramel and ganache. I think it was the Nantucket tart? Anyway, I took it to work and it only lasted a few minutes. There are a few diabetics here and they actually wanted seconds. One commented that it was great to be able to have a sweet that wouldn’t do him in! Certainly a testament to your inventive ways with sweets. Keep them coming!
So great to hear, Gail!
Ooh! I’ll make a spice cake….I’ve been wanting to try Swerve for some time now.
Happy birthday and congrats! Love love love your recipes! I make something from here at least once a week or more!
I have no idea what I’ll make first but I’m certain it will include Vietnamese Cinnamon.
Happy happy birthday to All Day I Dream About Food – you’ve come a long way, baby! My bday is in a few days too and I think I may just have to make myself that scrumptious looking dark chocolate peanut butter layer cake.
Your actual birthday? Because mine is the 10th!
Happy birthday to your blog! Love your recipes. Even I have been successful in making some of your wonderful treats and that’s saying something since I’m totally inept in the kitchen! My fav is the brownie cheesecake but that chocolate eclair cake is calling my name so I’m trying that one next. I haven’t been able to get Swerve confectioners though so it’s had to wait.
Thank you again for all that you do. Not only do I enjoy your recipes but I love the way you present them. Kudos!
Thanks, Leslie!
Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cake??????? Oh, now that I’ve seen THAT??? It’s on!
Happy Anniversary! Your blog is full of delicious, yummy recipes..Please keep them coming.
Happy Birthday to your fantastic blog! I stumbled on it while looking up some low-carb recipes last fall. How glad I am that I did! I had to go back and read all the archived blog posts, and I do mean all! It felt like I had found a friend. You have a wonderful knack of being so real and down-to-earth with your words and the way you write. The pictures of your food are simply mouth-watering. Pardon me while I wipe up the slobbers. Your blog is the best low-carb blog, hands down! Love it!
Thank you so much, Melanie!
Oh, and I would definitely make something chocolate/peanut butter. There are so many options, I’d have to make several!
I would make all your goodies that include Swerve in the ingredients. It’s a little costly for my single mother budget! I would love to win this so I can finally try it.
Cake! And, then – cake!
I plan on making anything that’s posted on the All day I dream about food website because it is all good! And thanks to Carolyn and swerve, my husband and I are finally able to stick with our low carb diet, my husband has lost enough weight that he is off his metformin with blood sugars and a1c within normal ranges, we are able to have birthday cake and holiday desserts with our children and family again. We are forever in your debt! 🙂
That is such fabulous news about your husband!
The first thing I would make is the chocolate bundt cake. Wow that looks fabulous! Actually, all of the pictures do. Now I’m hungry 🙂
I would make one of everything! I’ve already tried a few recipes on the All day I dream about food website and love them!
Need to try Swerve! : )
Happy birthday to you! Thanks for the chance to win!
What is better than peanut butter and dark chocolate? Low carb!
All your dessert recipes look amazing! If there is one thing I cannot do, and that is not having dessert!
I don’t know what I would do without you! Honestly, your sweet treat recipes grace our dinner table at LEAST once a week. THANK YOU , THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
ps: I would make the flourless type cake you came up with after your and your husbands getaway weekend!
Thanks, Ann!
Wow! What a great giveaway! Happy Blogiversary! 😀 I JUST found your blog today – but I have to say, the peanut butter dark chocolate ganache cake you posted today is probably the first thing I’m going to try. Never HEARD of Swerve – but I’m a very-insulin-resistant diabetic, and I’m going to go read all about it. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, as a fellow diabetes (really more of a pre-diabetic) I can say that Swerve never affects my glucose levels. But each person is different so make sure you test yourself to see how it affects you!
Cake! I love cake.
Happy Blog Anniversary, Carolyn! This blog has been such a huge help to me and to my family. It’s been so great to be able to celebrate special occasions with my family with food we can all enjoy- and it’s been even better to be able to feel like I’m not missing out on the simple pleasures of life because of my dietary needs. I’ve said it before, but thank you for all you do! You’re definitely a star in my book! Oh. . .and my son requested the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake for his birthday. It. Was. Amazing!!!
Happy, happy, happy blogiversary! Love your recipes!! I have a diabetic son who loves your eats…thank you for all your experimentations. I will make brownie cheesecake again!!
Happy : ) Anniversary!
I would start my making my favorite…banana bread!!!
I will make something sweet & yummy! I love Swerve!
Your recipes are the sh*t
Thanks, I think? 🙂
I will make so many things! Ugh…you convinced me to try swerve awhile ago & I’m waiting for my first order right now. I’m super excited, but CAN’T WAIT.
I’m dying to try your Skillet Chocolate Chip cookie. I may try it tonight, if I have everything on hand. 😉
cupcakes!
Congratulations!!! Thank you so much for all you do to help us keep on track with your great recipes!!
I haven’t used Erythritol, been somewhat a die-hard fan of Xylitol. I’d try making a couple favorite recipes, such as a low-carb chocolate cake and low-carb vanilla ice cream. As far as the kitchen tools… my measuring cups and spoons certainly could use updating.
Happy anniversary! The three layer coconut cake looks delish, but honestly I haven’t tried much low carb baking because I hadn’t bought the Swerve. I would begin by perusing your site for all the yummy desserts we’ve been missing.
Congratulations and thank you for your great blog. I have wanted to try Swerve….this would be a great win for me!
Happy blogiversary. I would make my son a birthday cake! He is a sugar lover so I would love to see if he could tell.
Love most of your recipes, but the Hazelnut Mousse Cake was a total hit on Valentine’s Day, even for non-low carbers.
Thanks, Eric!
I add Swerve to everything. Yogurt is one and I make cinnamon toast with it.
Any number of your tasty recipes! Definitely blueberry cheesecake coffee cake!
Happy anniversary!! If I won I would make some wonderful good for me cookies!!!
I love your blog – Happy Anniversary! A recipe that I just made recently was so good, I’ve told everyone about it! It uses both the regular and powdered Swerve – https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2011/12/gingerbread-cheesecake-bites-low-carb-and-gluten-free.html. I don’t think there has been a recipe that I have tried that I didn’t like! Thanks for the recipes!!!!
Thanks, Kim!
Just Liked your facebook page! 🙂
I’m ready to win this. Desserts. Sweet delicious desserts! Happy Anniversary/Birthday!
Happy Anniversary! I think I would celebrate with the Classic Chocolate Birthday Cake.
Happy 4th Blogaversary! I love Swerve for it’s healthy delicious sweetness!

Happy blogaversary! I’d make strawberry cheesecake… from the strawberries I grew last summer (they’re in my freezer)!
I’d make GF cookies.
If I win I’ll use my prize to make some of your awesome deserts…. Your Dark Chocolate and Peanut butter cake and your 3 layer coconut cake are just a couple of our favorites.
I try to live a low carb lifestyle, but my true motivation for baking your incredible chocolate goodies is for my T1D 6-year-old granddaughter (diagnosed at three-and-a-half). We all win with your tasty treats!
Thanks, Dana!
Happy anniversary! I really want to make that chocolate and peanut butter cake.
Happy anniversary and thank you for all your fabulous recipes. I’m making that dark chocolate peanut butter cake for my BFF’s birthday. We had your cinnamon roll coffee cake and he was blown away by how amazing it was. Congratulations!
Thanks, Alison!
Happy Anniversary, love your blog. Brownie cheesecake, or anything chocolate.
I would make peanut butter fudge brownies! I have been waiting for powdered Swerve to go on sale for weeks! There are so many recipes I want to make, but I need it!
If I win, I’ll make lots of cakes! March-April are big birthday months in our family! 🙂
I would probably make the brownie cheesecake first
That dark chocolate peanut butter layer cake would be one of the first recipes I would make with this swerve sweetener pack! It looks SO yummy!
Happy Blog Anniversary! I can’t wait to try the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake. Looks so yummy!
I’m so glad you have this blog! I love making all your recipes. I make almost one a day it seems. That chocolate with peanut butter frosting cake was awesome!

Happy anniversary! Can’t wait to make brownie cheesecake! Yum!
I’d make celebratory cupcakes for surviving midterm.
Happy anniversary! I’m a baker and I’m dying to make a low-carb layer cake.
Happy Anniversary! I am an avid baker and trying very hard to change over to healthy desserts, so I am very excited to try all your recipes, especially the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake. I have been looking for a non-grainy powdered sugar so I can’t wait to try Swerve!
I love trying new recipes and yours all look amazing! Happy Anniversary!
Chocolate cake!!!!

First I want to wish you a Happy Birthday! And what I would do if I won, is bake, bake, bake. I love to bake and have just become gluten free and trying to use natural ingredients for a better health. I have been trying to find Swerve for my baking, but I live in New Jersey and there are not stores close to me that carry it.

In the past, I had given up on the low-carb way of eating because I craved sweets, especially scones and cinnamon rolls. I’m so excited to have learned about your blog, I’m feeling more positive about long term success on keto. So if I won the Swerve pack, I would definitely make the Cinnamon Roll Scones. Or the Almond Flour Cinnamon Rolls. Or maybe the Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake:) Thanks for doing all you do!
All of them are great recipes!
I will make your yummy chocolate hazelnut mousse cake..loved it!
I would have to try your pecan pie chocolate chip muffins, they look yummy!
I would make a cookies
I will make the birthday cake!
Congratulations! I think I would make the brownie cheesecake. Looks wonderful!
I would love to attempt to make those vanilla bean coconut flour cupcakes!
The cakes looks amazing!!!
Ill make Homemade Energy Bars
I love your recipes – being new to gluten free and low carb you make it all so easy! Right now I am into making scones and cinnamon cereal with Swerve. Would love to win!
Happy Birthday !! I love all your recipes !
I love, love, love your blog – my pinterest page is full of your recipes – thank you for sharing!!!! and I can’t wait to try the vanilla bean coconut cupcakes 🙂
Thanks, Norma!
I have never Swerve before, but I would try it out on cookies. Happy anniversary!
I am amazed at how you can come up with good ideas day after day! Love your blog – thanks!
Thanks, Anne. I have more ideas than I know what to do with, quite frankly!
Happy Anniversary to the best low carb baker ever (and I really mean that)! You have changed the way I eat and since I can now make sweet treats that are just as tasty if not moreso that sugary ones my husband is now eating low carb as well!
Thank you, Jaime!
I hope it’s legal to make my own birthday cake, because that’s what I’m going to do…and the Chocolate Birthday Cake with Sour Cream Frosting fits the bill! Thanks Carolyn and happy anniversary!
Of course it’s legal. I will be making my own birthday cake too this weekend!
I see low carb cookies in my future!
Congratulations and Happy 4th Blog Birthday! Thank you for all your great recipes and educational blogs. Not realizing it was your blogiversary, I spent Fri, Sat, & Sun making low carb breakfast recipes for my Father-in-law who recently commented that there wasn’t much he could eat for breakfast and was tired of eating eggs every day (he had actually skipped breakfast that morning when my husband stopped by – not good for a diabetic!). He loved all of them and Monday morning was happy to have so many choices for breakfast. I had worked with your other, usually dessert recipes that I felt comfortable to just dig in and start cooking without caustiously making only one or two things for him to tryfirst. He has loved all of them!
Thanks, Sherrie. So glad I can help with your father-in-law’s breakfast choices!
Congratulations on 4 years!
I think your Pumpkin Spice Cake is going to be made.
Congrats on the 4yrs I would make an awesome pumpkin spice cheesecake, gluten free of course.
This is such a great giveaway! My husband can’t have sugar due to blood sugar issues and winning this would be amazing. I would have to make his favorite, banana bread. I’ve never seen sugar free powered sugar though, so I’ll have to find a good recipe to use that in. I’ve missed cooking recipes using that.
Hey Jessica – I found a way to ‘fake’ powdered sugar, and it works. We don’t have Swerve, so I’m using Truvia Baking Blend. To make powdered sugar, you put some corn starch with the sugar, and put it in a food processor. Chop it until it’s fine and resembles powdered sugar. The ratio is 1 tsp corn starch per 1 cup Baking Blend. You can find this on the Truvia website. Hope this helps – but having powdered Swerve would solve both our problems!
Happy Anniversary! This is perfect because I came to your site craving cupcakes. Thank you for all that you do.
Happy Anniversary!! Wow, this is crazy how many followers and readers you have! I just stumbled across your blog when my husband searched for low-carb desserts. He sent me three of your recipes and told me to get started! We don’t have Swerve sweetener around here, so I’ve had to use another erythritol sugar substitute. I feel like I’m missing out! By the way, our favorite so far is the Sea Salt Almond Bark – it is amazing, and I’m not a fan of dark chocolate. Sure hope I’m the big winner! Thanks for the opportunity 🙂
Thanks, Krystal! Plain erythritol is good, it just isn’t quite as sweet and some people find it has a distinct cooling effect in the mouth. I don’t find that at all with Swerve. Enjoy the recipes!
Happy Blogiversary! I would love to try a cake with swerve and almond flour.
Happy anniversary! I am so thankful for the creativity and inspiration you bring to the low carb world. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes almost a year ago and found your blog shortly after my diagnosis. It has seriously been life changing for me! Thank you again!
I am so glad, Jess!
Is it over-the-top to say I want to try ALL of the recipes?
You are my favorite low-carb food blogger! Thank you!
Thank you so much, Jody!
I enjoy using a mixture of almond flour, coconut flour and Swerve in baked goods.
Happy blog anniversary!
I would use Swerve for some low carb brownies!
Chocolate Chip Cookies. Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary!
Thank you for the chance to win! I’m sure I can find something delicious to make. The brownie cheesecake is screaming at me!
Happy Anniversary! I love your recipies! As for what I would make first.. That would be a coin toss.. brownies, cookies.. Hummm..
Happy blog anniversary! I have not had a chance to try any of these recipes because I don’t have any swerve sweetener but if I win I will definitely be making a cake for my husband’s birthday in June. Something chocolate. Thank you for the opportunity 🙂
Happy Anniversary! Can’t think of a better way to celebrate than giving away Swerve! Yay!!
Happy Anniversary! This blog has become my go to place for low-carb inspiration. I always come here for help when I want to sweeten up this way of eating. Thank you for pointing me towards Swerve Sweetener, too! I love it. I have used it in several of your ice cream recipes, and I can’t wait to try the brownie cheesecake. Thanks for all you do, and here’s hoping many more happy years of blogging and inspiring others! ♥
Thanks so much, Heather!
brownies!!
I’ve always been curious about this sweetener!
Happy blog anniversary!
Definitely would love to start with the dark chocolate peanut butter layer cake! yummm!
Lovely cake recipes! How to decide which one to try first???? Hopefully I’ll be over this cold this weekend so I can get baking again! Love your blog!
Happy Blog Anniversary! I love your blog and it keeps me honest with my diabetic diet. Thanks for the giveaway too. I have tried your Brownie cheesecake – I literally ate it everyday when I was pregnant, and would love to make it again!
Thanks, Denise. Writing this blog keeps me honest with my diabetic diet too!
I would make a chocolate peanut butter cake and I would also make homemade peanut butter chocolate balls!
Happy anniversary!! Love your recipes!
I’ve just recently heard of Swerve and would love to try it! That first chocolate cake with peanut butter icing looks amazing!
Woohoo!! I would use Swerve for anything that requires sugar. 🙂
I just discovered your website. It’s fantastic! If I get the swerve my first project would that chocolate bundt cake with caramel sauce…. Yum 🙂
I absolutely LOVE your blog!!! If I were to win, I would definitely try the coconut layer cake, it looks too good to be true!
Hi Carolyn, thank you so much for everything that you do. You are truly an amazing and talented person. If I were to win the giveaway I would love to make your classic chocolate birthday cake with coconut sour cream frosting for my type 1 diabetic niece she absolutely loves chocolate! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to your blog!!
Congratulations on four years! It has been a true blessing to find your blog. You’ve made this low carb journey so much easier, and for that I’m grateful. If I win, I think will start with the brownie cheesecake (again) and follow it with your lemon squares (the ones that have the shortbread crust with cheesecake on top–already made these several times). My goodness, where to begin! 🙂
I’m going to try your lemon squares! I love Swerve!
Hello my name is Lashaundra and I’m an addict. I LOVE carbs especially sweets however I changed my entire mindset about food 2 years ago when I lost my triplet daughters. I’m hoping to suppress my PCOS by eating whole foods and low carb and someday have a healthy pregnancy. I was soooo excited when I found your recipes for all the foods I have a love/hate relationship with. They are so simple and practical. Other sites were exhausting just looking at the list of impossible to find ingredients. I have already enjoyed several of your recipes but with swerve sweetener I would definitely make the Classic Chocolate Birthday Cake with Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting!
Happy blog birthday! I’ve never used Swerve before, but if it can go in any of those cakes you listed, I think that’s what I’d try first. Yum! 🙂
Love your blog!!!! 🙂 I would make a cake with Swerve!
I am making your cupcake recipe RIGHT NOW for my little boys’s 10th birthday…. only making it as a layer cake and using Swerve confectioners for the frosting. We had to go off sugar when he was 3 years old… this is his FIRST cake with “real” birthday frosting. ps: a friend loaned me her layer cake molds. They are a special kind of glass spun silicone, so no greasing and just POPS out like magic. If you get a chance Caroline, check out those molds by a company called Demarle. LOVE your site. You are a godsend to helping keep my kids happy and compliant on this diet plan and healthy blood sugar levels.
Thanks for the tip and your kind words, Maria!

My husband would love those Eclairs. We are new to the Low Carb life style and your blog just became a favorite. So glad to find you on the blog’s 4th birthday. Congratulations.
