Awards Time and A Tag

I am still playing catch up due to my ongoing back problem and I would like to take this opportunity to try and rectify this. I make my apologies for posting these wonderful tags and awards a little late and also for the long post.

Firstly, the lovely Erica from Oh My Apple Pie who is quite new to the food bloggingsphere who already has a most inspirational blog! (One you must visit if you haven’t already), tagged me for 'Top 10 food pics'. Thank you Erica for the lovely tag!

Top 10 food pics......

This tag consists of me choosing 10 of my top food pics and in return tagging 5 people to choose 10 of their tops food pics.

I first started blogging last year with an old camera that really didn’t do any justice to my food, I just knew I required a new camera asap. I am not a natural photographer and I am still learning as I go along trying to improve in this area.

Here are my favourite top 10 food pics......

Pudsey Bear Cookies

Last Minute Chocolate Christmas Cake

Scones with Devonshire Clotted Cream & Strawberries

A Fang-tastic Biting Halloween Cake

Lemon Meringue Trifle

Portuguese Custard Tarts

Pink Carrousel Cake

kaleidoscope of Yellow Celebration cake

Pink & White Cake

Raspberry Soufflé Gateau

I would like to tag the following 5 bloggers to show their favourite top 10 pics

Indigo @ Happy Loves Strawberry

Deeba @ Passionate about baking

Cakespy @ Cakespy

Val @ More Than Burnt Toast

Ruth @ Ruth’s Kitchen Experiments

I am also excited and very honoured to have been given three wards too.

My 2nd award comes from the very sweet Ivy at kopiaste, this is a most inspiring blog of Greek food and Ivy never ceases to amaze me with her most beautiful creations. Thank you SO much Ivy for considering my blog worthy of this nomination.

Here's how it works

You select 5 blogs that you feel excel in creativity, design, interesting material, and also contribute to the blogging community, no matter what language.

The rules for the Arte y Pico Award are:

1. You pick five blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also contribute to the blogging community, no matter what language.
2. Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and the link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
4. Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of Arte y Pico blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.
