Hello, Blake Makers. Well, it’s been an exciting week on Blake Makes. The dulce post went well (actually better than I had anticipated), so I guess my readers were hungrier than I thought. Well, fasten your seat belts because we’re about to take a giant step forward. Here comes Soopz (and more secrets, “Blakeville”).
I’ve been working on an idea for a few months, and it’s just about done (I can smell it in the oven, and the aroma is heavenly). With help from my business counselor (I couldn’t live/work without Joan), I’ve put together a business plan for Soopz (this is a working title).
What is Soopz?
Soopz is basically another name for the Blake Makes family. It’s a network of bloggers (mostly food bloggers) that read this blog and like to blog themselves (again, mostly about food).
The idea is that Blake Makes (eventually Soopz.com) will feature food products (both made in Blakeville -another secret- and from outside food companies), and Soopz members (we’re calling them Sooper Heroes) will receive free food to blog about.
The dulce post was just a peek at what’s to come. We’re already working with food companies (Sooper Companies) to start distributing free food to the Soopz network. So, if you want some free food, keep reading.
I want to be a Sooper Hero!
The formal site and system is underway, but for now, we’re going to take a hands-on, home grown approach. If you’re interested in becoming a Sooper Hero, comment on this post and I’ll add you to the list. You can also e-mail me at blakekillian [at] yahoo [dot] com, twitter me (@beekiller), or IM (Yahoo: blakekillian; AIM: TrkyDnr).
I want to be a Sooper Company!
If you’re a food company and would like to share your product with an amazing group of food bloggers, e-mail me at blake [at] killianinteractive [dot] com.
Just to recap:
- Soopz is coming (but you can join now)
- Products fresh from “Blakeville” are in production
- “Mini Moments” are going to blow your mind

Absolutely. Hello Kimmers! Sooper Hero #2.

I wanna be sooper hero number 3!
Shannon
Sooper hero number 3? Please?
Emily
Do I get to wear a cape? All heroes wear capes
Emily, your codename will be Number 4 since you are Sooper Hero #4. Shawnda, of course you get to wear a cape…you’re right, you wouldn’t be a much of a Hero without one. (Blake’s thinking of another idea) Hmmmmmm????????

Sounds like fun to me.

Hi Blake,
I read your blog regularly and also have a blog of my own called Gumbeaux in the Kitchen. I grew up in the small town in South Louisiana, and now live in San Diego. I enjoy blogging about and cooking the dishes that I grew up with, as well as inventing my own dishes with Louisiana products.
Here’s the link to my blog: http://gumbeauxkitchen.blogspot.com/
I would love to participate in Soopz as a Sooper Hero. Sign me up, pretty please!
Happy Mardi Gras,
Erica (Gumbeaux Gal)
Danielle, Ashely and Erica, you’re all in. More information is on the way, I just wanted you to know that I’ve read your comments. Stay tuned! bk
I feel like a superhero today too, bc I just got a new laptop. Nothing like the feeling of a new laptop. Kind of better than a new car IMO.
I love all the superhero talk. Makes me feel like I am 5 again. Thats always nice.
Oh and count me in! LOL I forgot that part while in my new laptop high!
Yeah, I’d love to join.!
Becca, you’re in! What part of NE LA are you from? Monroe? bk
Blake, I grew up in West Monroe. I now live in a small town just west of it. My husband grew up in Gonzales though.
Thank you for adding me, this all sounds great. Btw, I must have just missed you at the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot. We left on October 15th…
Becca, I grew up in Ball/Tioga. Ever heard of it? It’s just outside of Pineville/Alexandria.
That’s crazy about Disney! The more I blog, and the more people I meet through my blog, the more I realize how small the world is – or at least the world online.
I’m so happy to know you! Welcome aboard, Sooper Hero! bk
I’m a relatively new reader of the site, but I would love to join!
All you have to do is click the Soopz tab at the top of the page, and follow the link on that page to the sign up form. It’s that easy! We’re so happy to know you! Welcome! bk
