When I started food blogging, I never thought it would be much more than a place for me to keep my recipes and share them. . I knew there were a ton of food blogs out there but I never knew this fabulous food blogging community existed. A lot of these wonderful people have been blogging for 2-3+ years now and I still see passion and joy in their posts. I still see these beautiful, innovative recipes. . I’ve learned so many things so far (and am still learning) but today I will share two very important things.
#1: Food bloggers help each other. I think I saw a BlogHer newsletter that said “Other Bloggers are not your competition, but your community.” or something like that. I thought that was awesome. I’ve seen many bloggers post things to help other people or newbie food bloggers get started. . posts that share tips on how to get started, what to do, and how to build your readership etc.
#2: There are Food bloggers out there who care about things and believe in things and have started movements if you will. . movements that have brought together bloggers as a community in support of something they believe in. Isabel is one of those people. She started a wonderful movement called Sunday Supper.
Sunday Supper is on a mission to bring back Sunday Supper around the family table in every home. Hundreds (maybe more) of bloggers come together and share recipes and most importantly, they have Sunday Supper with their families. Join us every Sunday for great recipes and some inspiration.

this one is quite the ultimate apple bundt cake. it has everything – chocolate, spices, nuts and ooh the caramel topping. 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
This looks so good and very pretty pictures!! Love the sauce.
Thank you so much!
So glad you’re a part of Sunday Supper! Completely agree with you on how amazing the food blogging community is.
Thank you! 🙂 It’s been great meeting such wonderful people!
I agree, the blogging community is so amazing and supportive. It helps to have people who have been there before and can help you grow. And by the way this cake looks so amazing, that caramel sauce really does make it perfect. 🙂
Thank you so much, Laura!
Isn’t the food blogging community amazing. I just love it! This cake looks absolutely amazing, and it’s beautiful. Happy #SS!
thank you, Jennie! Yes, the blogging community is GREAT!
In many ways, this is a different apple cake. Not only the chocolate chips but the chinese spice and toffee bits. Just gorgeous!
Thank you so much, Paula! 🙂
The cake on it’s own sounds fabulous… then, you took up another notch to add a caramel sauce? I’ve got to have a slice or two… yum!
Haha, thank you, Patsy! The caramel sauce was awesome and yes, totally made the cake even better! I had 3 slices (not all in one sitting) 😛 but who’s counting! Thank you again!
This cake sounds insanely good. I foresee one sitting in my cake stand in the very near future!
Thank you so much, Megan! I do hope you give this recipe a try! 🙂
I agree – this past year has taught me how supportive everyone is of each other. That although we want to have the best blog, we also want to see others succeed in having the best blog as well. And I’d much rather come to a food blog for a recipe (especially a blogger I know) because I know the recipe will good rather than taking a chance with those popular recipe sites.
Anyway back to you – bundt cakes are awesome because you don’t have to fuss much. They are pretty by their shape alone plus you just need to make a quick glaze. Pinning!
Thank you, Carla! Yes, I know what you mean. . I’m still a newbie and learning so much. . but loving it! And yes, I’ve found blogs where I know the recipes will be good and have been tested etc. Thank you!
Oh wow – that cake definitely looks decadent – I’d like a slice!
Thank you so much, Katie! 🙂
Your Bundt cake looks and sounds amazing!
Thank you, Bea!
That looks sooo delish and the sauce looks divine!! Love the pictures!
Thank you so much, Brandi! It takes me so long with the photos and then deciding which ones to post. . . so thank you! 🙂
I know, me too!! It drives me crazy because I take like a million and then have to go through all of them!
Totally. . and sometimes I ask my husband for his opinion and we never agree! 🙂
This is one gorgeous apple cake. Love the caramel glaze over it. Just takes it to the next level.
Thank you, Kim! The caramel glaze was totally worth those extra calories! 🙂
Well hello! Did somebody say chocolate? See now, you went and reeled me in. As if apples weren’t enough to love! This is a lovely bundt – I’d have challenges with portion control with this one. :-))
Haha, thank you, Lyn! I know! I had to give away half the cake to my neighbors! Needed to get it out of the house in fear I was going to eat the entire thing! 🙂
Oh, my gosh. That caramel sauce is making me swoon! I’m glad you’ve become a fan of Bundts…this is a winner!
Thank you, Liz! I’ve come a long way with the bundt cakes! Believe me! the very first time I baked one, I didn’t know I was supposed to flip it over when I removed it from the bundt pan. so embarrassing! 🙂
The food blogging community is an amazing thing! This cake looks incredible! I need to get a bundt pan!
Erin, yes! you must invest in a bundt pan! Make sure you pay attention to the detail in the pan; that is what your cake will look like when you flip it (if that makes sense). I want to get another one that has more defined lines on top. 🙂
Oh my, I saw this on your sneak peek and it looked so good!! Great pics too!
Thank you so much, Tara! 🙂
Perfect, just perfect. Some of the most gorgeous flavors in an utterly beautiful cake! I am bookmarking this recipe and making it as soon as possible!
Awh, thank you so much Katy! Please let me know how you like it! 🙂
You had me at the toffee bits! This cake looks amazing!
Awh, thank you so much, Patti! 🙂
Agree with you Alice! Sunday Supper is a wonderful group which enables me to learn lots of things as a food blogger. Your bundt cake looks amazing!

Girl, you know that I’m a huge fan of yours and this apple bundt cake looks amaze-balls, especially with that glorious caramel glaze over top. I feel the exact same was as you about this wonderful blogging community – heck, that’s how we became friends, because fellow bloggers are warm, welcoming people who support each other. I’m so glad you’re a part of our Sunday Supper family!

Alice I’m so happy you joine #SundaySupper and you are correct in saying that we are a tight knit community that loves to help eachother out. I haven’t been blogging for a long time either and I have recieved so mush adivce and tips from people all over the world. Now onto your dish. Why must you live so far away from me. Tell you husband to get a job in Chicago so you can bake for me. Nancy and I already agreed to spend half our time in Chicago and half our time in Canada. Are you in?

I am so truly glad we have connected through blogging. . it’s been so amazing, fun and rewarding for me. . I love it and am so happy I decided to do this. . and so happy I have met great people like YOU! 🙂
This looks fabulous! And I love how it uses Chinese Five Spice….one of my husband’s favorite spice blends.
Thank you, Brandie! I recently discovered Chinese Five Spice and try to use it whenever I can. . I made some chili recently too and added some! Gives it a nice kick!
What a great bundt cake. I bet the chocolate chips are a sweet surprise with all that apple flavor.
Thank you so much, Arlene! The chocolate definitely enhances the cake. . it’s more of an apple spice cake. . it’s great!
I love bundt cakes. They are just so pretty and the chocolate chip applesauce cake sounds wonderful.
Thank you so much! 🙂
The first thing I noticed that that glaze! Everything looks so wonderful!
This is such a beautiful cake and I love the caramel glaze!
