I found a new Crown

September 13, 2008
by Chocolate-Covered Katie

Looking over my past blog posts, it seems I may have a *slightly* unhealthy (not to mention vain!) obsession with crowning myself queen of just about everything. First it was the chocolate-covered queen. From there, I went on to name myself queen of cake, queen of all things purple, the chopstick queen

Perhaps there is a support group I could join? (Narcissists Anonymous?)

But really, it’s quite fun “queenifying” oneself. You all should try it. Here, I’ll get the ball rolling…

  • I dub Ruby Red Vegan Queen of Vegan Breakfasts (although Shelby could give her a run for her money).
  • Diann, of Eat’n Veg’n, is now the (vegan) Queen Mum, due to all the yummy food she makes for her lucky son (and the fact that she just did eight loads of his laundry. CCV’s mom, take note!)
  • Bianca, of Vegan Crunk, is the Queen of Vegan Southern Comfort Foods.
  • Heather, I am sorry to tell you that you have inherited the kingdom of Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches.

Now I want to know: What are YOU the queen (or king!) of?

Moving on…
I have to admit that I’ve been sorely missing the “Chopstick Queen” crown my cousins stole here. So when Bianca went ahead and called me the “Fondant Queen” I felt I had no choice but to give myself this new crown, being the very modest, humble CCV that I am (cue You’re so Vain to play in the background).

AFTER:

Katie, Queen of Cupcakes. Ah, it feels good to be the queen of something again ;o)

    That is hilarious, Katie!

    All hail the queen! Haha.. seriosuly, though, I want your crown.. it’s so pretty! Oh, and I wouldn’t mind snatching some cupcakes from you as well! ;-)

    Hmm… I think I shall crown myself the Queen of Cookies because I LOVE cookies too much for my own good (I’ve been known to even have some for breakfast! Gasp!)

    I hope all is going well in your kingdom! Have a great weekend!

    I love this post! It made me smile!

    Even though I will have to share this crown with many others, I crown myself Queen of Oatmeal! I love it and often eat it twice a day!!

    I like Queen’s music ;)

    I think I’d like to be the mango queen, but that title only applies a few months of the year for me.

    hehe I love the picture and Thank You for the complement! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day so I make sure to make it special =)

    I think I would be the Queen of Kale…at least this week, I’ve eaten it everyday!!

    Queen of Cupcakes is definitely the highest title there is. And what a fancy shmancy crown! :D

    I think I’m the Queen of Vegan Energy bars… because that’s a lot of what I eat! Some are really good, though… XD

    Hope you’re having a super fabulous day and thanks for commenting on my brand new blog!!

    Love the crown! It’s so believeable ;)

    I will humbly crown myself the queen of peanut butter. I think 1/4 cup + per day qualifies me for this title! Fo sho!

    You are queen of all things cupcake and fondant! And queen of sweetness and niceness! This was such a cute post. Your crown suits you nicely. You deserve it, and for the record, I never once thought you were vain. :) I’m glad to be named the queen of breakfast, since it is my favorite meal. Yay!

    You really ARE queen of all those things! And the crown in the photo is marvelous (wish I knew how to use photoshop–or even had it on my computer!!). I suppose I’ll have to be content as the Queen of chocolate, or maybe the Queen of Dogs. . . ;)

    You are the Ultimate queen! I laughed out loud when I read that I've inherited the kingdom of PB&J's!!!! haha That was funny :) You made my night. Those cupcakes=to die for, well all of your cupcakes!

    Hahaha- I love your idea for the support group! I’m sure there are many worst addictions than “queening” oneself, so I think you’ll be okay :)

    You deserve the title of the queen of fondant! Your decorating skills are outstanding

    Well, my username on several sites is “Tofu Princess” or “Tofu Queen” so I guess that’s the only thing I can lay claim to… cause I do pretty much RULE when it comes to tofu. :)

    I love it! I’m so impressed by all the cute cupcakes! I couldn’t make even one of those if I spent ALL day trying!

    I am the Queen of Salad! Salads are my favorite part of every meal!

    Love the crown!

    Hm. What am I queen of. I guess I’m Queen of Crunchy Cereal. I hate soggy cereal.

    AND I eat my breakfast in my cubicle at work, so my coworkers get to hear CRUNCH-CRUNCH-CRUNCH at about 8:30 every morning. Ha.

    I would have already eaten that fondant crown if it weren’t a photoshop jobby! I guess I’d call myself the Running Queen with my 40 plus mile weeks- Or maybe Crafty Queen?

    This is so great! You ARE the cupcake queen and please wear your crown proudly! And I definitely cherish the Queen Mum title as I keep an eye on ALL of you who are my son’s age. I have to keep track of your studies and boyfriends and make sure you’re eating healthy!

    Thanks, Katie!

    I know this isn’t food related, but I think I’m the Queen of Embracing Awkwardness, haha. Oh and on a foodie note, I’m the Queen of Salsa!

    You are definitely the undisputed Queen of Cupcakes! Your crown is fabulous too, by the way ;)

    I’m the Queen of Avocados. I attribute my “junk in the trunk” to eating one amost every day!

    You’re so funny! Yes, you’re definitely the queen of fondant and cute cupcakes. I’m not sure what I’m the queen of…I’ve been kind of obsessed with blueberries lately, so maybe I’m a blueberry queen!

    You are hilarious, I love it! You definitely deserve all of your past and present queen titles, madam!

    You are definitely the queen of cupcakes – it’s a well deserved title, especially with the evidence of those incredibly gorgeous cupcakes right in your hands!

    Can I be the Queen of Bok Choy, please? :-)

    A few nights ago, after watching videos on YouTube from Hoku, M2M, LFO, Vitamin C and S Club 7… I referred to myself as the Queen of Forgotten Pop, which is really just a jewel in my overall Crown of Useless Knowledge.

    Lol, that’s awesome. You definitely deserve to be the cupcake/marzipan queen. You make the cutest cupcakes ever!!

    Well, this is one I rarely talk about on my blog, because, well… I’m the dough queen. I don’t think there are many people out there who have eaten as much cookie, bread, pie crust, cake, cupcake (etc etc) dough as I have. But it isn’t exactly photo-worthy, hehe…
