A million thanks to Jennifer of the fantastic blog Small Space Sweets for her super nice compliments and for nominating me for a Brillante Weblog Award – my first award, awesome!
First, I must put the logo on my blog. Check.
Second, I must link to the awesome person who gave me this award. Check.
Thirdly, I must nominate seven other blogs and provide links to them.
Now this is so much harder than it sounds. My blogroll is ever increasing with so many awesomely talented individuals – not to mention my very swollen blog reader. I love every single one of them – but I made a quick random sampling of all that excellence out there and this is how it unfolded:
It is my honour to recognize the following awesome blogs for the Weblog Brillante Award:
Cooking at the Pacific Outpost – Great food and witty, well-written posts.
Innocent Primate – chock-full of awesome vegan food, especially desserts.
Vegan Lovlie – this is one talented, friendly vegan – desserts to die for.
The Dark Faerie – one of the first blogs I read regularly – great food and a sharp wit.
Walking the Vegan Line – one of the first blog connections I made, showing me how friendly the blogosphere is.
What the Hell Does a Vegan Eat Anyway – incredibly inspiring fare, for anyone, vegan or not.
Yeah, That “Vegan” Shit - witty, well-written posts and great food.
Fourthly, I must leave messages for my nominees on their blogs. And off I go to do that!
Thank you Jennifer – you made my day!

What lovely cakes – the 6 inch size is just right for sharing and the mini for one. By the way, I love your kitty cat icon – he looks very pensive. I have two cats, one of them is pitch black, the other a fluffy calico.
