Are you a food blogger? Do you love pavlova, that iconic Australian meringue and cream dessert? Have you ever been curious about making one?
Well, we’d love you to join us for The Great Australian Pavlova Blog Hop on November 27th!
A couple of nights ago I was on Twitter when I tweeted that I was eating peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon. A BIG spoon.
This led to some friendly banter with other tweeting food bloggers about food cravings. Jennifer from Delicieux asked if I was going to cook a peanut and chocolate cake for my blog and I told her I was actually thinking about a pavlova. Then Nic from Dining with a Stud, Heather from The Capers of the Kitchen Crusader and JJ from 84th & 3rd all joined in with stories about their favourite pavlovas.
So the five of us decided to organise a pavlova blog hop* so that we could all cook our versions and then share the recipes and photos with each other.
And if you’re a food blogger, we’d love for you to join us, too!
You don’t have to be an Australian food blogger to join in either – this blog hop is open to food bloggers world-wide. So if you’ve ever wondered what a pavlova was all about, here’s your chance to give it a go.
Here’s how it will all work.
On Sunday 27th November (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) food bloggers keen to take part should post their pavlova recipe and photos on their own blog. They should then visit Delicieux, which will feature The Great Australian Pavlova Bake Off invitation post. Bloggers can submit the link to their pavlova post via this post and obtain The Great Australian Pavlova Bake Off link code to share on their own blog. This way, each blog involved will show everybody’s pavlova submissions.
You are encouraged to share your post/entry into The Great Australian Pavlova Blog Hop with your fans and followers on Facebook and Twitter, using the common tag, #pavbloghop, when tweeting.
And that’s it. Too easy.
So what are you waiting for? Start separating those eggs now!
And we look forward to seeing everybody’s brilliant pavlova creations on November 27th.
The Great Australian Pavlova Blog Hop
Sunday 27th November, 2011 (Australian Eastern Daylight Time)
Post entries at Delicieux.
I’m in, eagerly awaiting my email!
Love pavlova even have a beautiful pic on my wall of it my friend Joy has made but not me I was thinking about making it in January celebrating Australia Day What a great adventure to bring all pavlova cooks together What is the topping on your pic?
One of my favourite desserts. Look forward to making one for the 27th. I clicked on the link Delicieux and the page said error?
Gah!!! Thanks for pointing that out, foolsandtools. In my excitement and haste I forgot the ‘http://’ on the links – they’re all corrected now. Cheers, Christina
I’ve added my post this morning calling for people to join us. I’m really looking forward to this. I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!!!
Can’t wait to joijn in! I’m more a savory girl when it comes to cooking – but maybe I’ll be the one to prove that anyone can bake an awesome pavlova (well, that’s if mine works out!)
@ Corridor Kitchen. Great! Looking forward to seeing your creation, Lauren!
@ Pattyabr. Well now you’ll have to bring your pavlova baking date a little closer and join us on the 27th
The topping is really simple – just cut up mango and passionfruit dribbled over the top. I made it yesterday when we had some friends over for dinner and it was so good I finished the remaining quarter by myself last night!
@ Jennifer. Great post, Jen. I LOVE the logo!
@ Uforic Food. Great to hear that you’ll be joining us! I’m hardly an expert baker – as my husband will attest. It’s just about giving it a go
very cool!! I’d join if the time allows me to
wow what a great idea…can’t wait to see the results.
What a brilliant idea. Funnily earlier this year I actually posted a blog about pavlova with my little trick of using vanilla custard powder instead of cornflour.

Guess I’ll have to create a new twist on the delicious pav for this blog hop!
This is a great blog hop choice. I have never made pavlova, but I am really looking forward to seeing something inspiring. Have a great day!
I haven’t made a pavlova since my old oven died. The new oven is fan forced and they don’t seem to make a great pavlova. But I think that if I keep the heat down really low it might work. We will see what happens on the 27th. I love Pavlova so much.
@ pandaball please do! We’d love to see what you come up with
@ Foodwinesleep. Thanks so much. But I hope you’ll be baking along with us, too
@ Foodnutzz That was clever of you! I love the Stephanie Alexander recipe too – I actually used it to make the pavlova for this post
@ Flour Trader. Thank you! If you’ve never made it then this is the perfect time to give it a go
@ Gold Coast Local. I actually have a fan forced oven at home too and used it to make the pavlova in this post. I don’t know if that’s why it cracked a bit but I’ve decided that the cracks make the pav look authentically home-made, dramatic and charming
wow, wow, wow! what a cool idea! i’ve never made it. well, i’m not really the “baking” type of person. i find it like a great opportunity to try it! i’m in for berlin in germany.
