‘Tis the season to be jolly, tra la la la la, la la la la.
Regular readers will know that we had a rather spectacular Great Australian Pavlova Blog Hop last month, featuring 36 amazing pavlovas made by food bloggers from all over the world. Click here to see my deconstructed pavlova entry and all the other amazing pavlovas.
Well, I’m thrilled to let you know that Sweet Adventures (aka myself, Delicieux, Dining With a Stud, The Capers of the Kitchen Crusader and 84th & 3rd ) have decided to run a monthly blog hop event focusing on different themed desserts each month.
This month, being the festive season, we have decided to throw the doors open to any kind of festive dessert.
That’s right – you can make a gingerbread house, Christmas tree cookies, yuletide log, festive Bombe Alaska, steamed pudding, Christmas trifle, egg nog or whatever you like really. The only criteria is that it has to be some kind of festive, celebratory dessert.
So what are you waiting for? Crack out the recipe books and your favourite food sites and start thinking about what to bake.
And we look forward to seeing your amazing creation, along with all the others, on Monday December 19th – Australian Eastern Standard Time [AEST].
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a blog hop?
A blog hop, or a link-up, is when bloggers write about a common theme – in this case a selected dessert, link-up their post at the prescribed time on a hosting blog and put the blog hop code back on their own post. Then everyone hops from post to post checking out the contributions, commenting – and most likely getting really hungry along the way!
How does the SABH work?
- On Monday 19 December 2011 AEDT, publish your festive dessert post on your own blog.
- Visit the host blog – 84thand3rd – and link-up your SABH post on her Festive Favourites Hop page by following the instructions at the end of the post.
- Grab the link-up code to place back on your blog post. The code will create a gallery of all the other linked up posts and will let visitors hop from blog to blog to drool over the creations.
- Grab the SABH tile/bling for the month and place it in your post. Link it to the hostess’ post. You can also grab the bling from this post in preparation – right click on the SABH tile and ‘save image as’.
- Tell all your Twitter and Facebooks followers about your participation in the blog hop. Please tag as #SABH on Twitter.
- Check out all the other fabulous festive desserts.
- The hop will remain open to new link-ups for a week and a day, until 11:59pm on Monday 26 December 2011 AEST. Don’t worry, you can still hop around to the other entrants after that.
- Please link-up new posts only (i.e. previously published posts are not eligible to join this hop).
- Please do not publish your post until the prescribed time each month.
