I had so much fun hosting this month’s Does My Blog Look Good in This event. Again I discovered many new blogs, I didn’t know before. Thanks to the 84 participants for sending in their photos and Andrew for letting me host this month.
And of course a special thank to the wonderful judges Gabriele, Lorraine, Shari and Robert for their time and energy. I hope you had as much fun as I had browsing through the gallery and determining which one is the most drool worthy.
As always there are 6 winners. We – the judges – had to score three main categories: Edibility, Originality, Aesthetics. And then there are three more winners according to the highest score in all categories combined, the overall Winners.
Now let me reveal the winners of DMBLGIT January 2009:

Congratulations to all the winners – and thanks a lot for the judges for doing such a good job! And of course thanks to zorra, who gave me the host award :-)
that the top four photos could also have been nominated for the likes of Sugar High Friday ;-) Okay, I know my addiction for sweets – but the other judges seem to have it also. Or is it just that chocolate always looks so appealing?
Beautiful photos, ccongratulations to all the winners :)
Amazing ! Congrats to the winners !
