Last month the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop launched with our first adventure – Australian Pavlova. To say it was a roaring success is an understatement! 34 beautiful, unique, drool worthy creations emerged from kitchens and blogs around the world.
On the tail of that success we are proud to announce the December SABH: Festive Favourites. This month’s host is JJ from 84th & 3rd – hey, that’s me!
#SABH will open for posts and link-up on Monday 19 December 2011 – Australian Eastern Standard Time [AEST] and will remain open for a week and a day until 11:59pm on Monday 26 December 2011 AEST
The SABH Hostesses – Delicieux, The Hungry Australian, Dining With a Stud, The Capers of the Kitchen Crusader, and myself, 84th & 3rd – started Sweet Adventures to try out a different international dessert each month. Our goal is to bring food bloggers from around the world together – and each put our own spin on the selected adventure item.
You may be saying ‘but Festive Favourites isn’t a specific dessert or from a specific country, its a whole category‘ and you would indeed be correct. But it’s the holidays, and with so many special traditions out there we wanted to leave the adventure this month a bit open to interpretation. The only requirement is that your linked up post must be about a December Holiday dessert – if it shows up on your table after the main meal share it with us!
So if you grew up convinced that your nan’s Christmas Steamed Pudding is the best ever; or always wanted to make Rugelach for Hanukkah; or have a hankering for traditional Kwanzaa Sweet Potato Pie; this is your chance – go for it! Need some more ideas? Christmas cutout sugar cookies; Fruitcake; Trifle; Bûche de Noël; Gingerbread; Mincemeat, Pumpkin or Apple Pies; Panforte; Eggnog or Mulled Wine inspired treats; Chocolate Peppermint Bark; Sufganiot – Jelly Doughnuts… and the list goes on, I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with this time!

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?
Yay, I’m in. Thanks for this great initiative!
