5. Let them know they have been chosen by leaving a comment on their blog

Out of all beautiful and interesting blogs that I am visiting on a daily basis, it is really hard to come up with only 5 favorite ones, but here they are (not necessarily in that order):

1. Bam’s Kitchen – Lovely, lovely blog about living in Hong Kong, Asian culture and food, written by a very creative American lady.

2. Food is My Life – Most gorgeous cupcakes I’ve ever seen, a lot of chocolatey treats that makes you wish you could bite right through the screen, travel and a lovely, cheerful person behind all of it!

3. Buttercream and Chantilly Factory – A very talented French girl’s “Journey through the Wonderful World of Pastry”. She is  writing in French and English, takes b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l photos.

4.  Violets and Cardamom – This is a blog about food, art, DIY, travel, photography and much more. It is writen in a very fresh and charming way and covers many of my interests.

5. From the Family Table – Well written posts and recipes with beautiful photos and just a dash of nostalgia.
