Hey there, wonderful readers!

I have some exciting news to share—I’m a finalist for the 2024 Fresh Content Award! 🎉 This is my third time being nominated, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. The excitement is even sweeter this year because my twin girls will be by my side to celebrate this special night.

Meet the other Finalists

I’m in great company with these amazing creators:

• Vincent Lim, dimsimlim
• Lorraine Elliott, Not Quite Nigella
• Katie White, by_katie_white

As mentioned before, I was lucky enough to be a finalist two years in a row (a major highlight for me!). Check out my upcoming posts to see what I entered and read about my never-ending quest for the perfect outfit:

• 2022 Fresh Content Finalist
• 2021 Fresh Content Finalist – you can see how excited I was in this post.
• Make sure to download the Passionfruit recipes – from one of my previous entries.
• Plus, don’t miss my other fantastic recipes featuring Valencia Oranges from last year’s entry: Valencia Orange Sunset Pie, Orangey Orange Syrup, and Zesty Orange Shortbread.

The Fresh Awards Gala Night is just one week away, and I can’t wait to don my stunning outfit—finally found thanks to Temu (who would have thought!)—and join my fellow finalists for an evening of celebration and recognition. Knowing that my daughters will be there cheering me on makes this moment all the more magical.

I’ve spent what feels like an eternity hunting down the perfect outfit. The mad dash from shop to shop, trying on duds that made me look like a fashion disaster, was beyond exhausting. I’m sure you’ve been there too! It really fried my brain and zapped some of the fun out of the event prep. But hey, I finally found a great outfit (I think so, and that’s what counts), and now I’m getting excited about the occasion again!

Celebrating Passion and Creativity

Being a finalist for the third time is incredibly exciting! It showcases the dedication and creativity I pour into each post. Being recognised for my hard work is truly gratifying. I love celebrating fresh produce and flowers and sharing that joy with you all through my blog and social media brings me immense happiness! 🌸🍇

I love playing with ingredients, finding clever ways to make dinner parties or gatherings a breeze, and whipping up tasty treats for everyone to savour and share!

I had a blast creating these for my 2024 Fresh Awards entries:

• Gorgeous Easy No-Bake Oreo Blackberry Mousse Tart
• Cakeover Magic: Transforming Store-Bought Sponge Into A Dream Wedding Cake
• Pretty Pastry Apple & Rhubarb Crumble

The girls and I are gearing up for a fun day in the city, prepping for the big event and soaking in all the excitement. We’ll be dressed to impress in our cocktail finest, ready to savour the night with the other finalists and celebrate our shared love for deliciously fresh content.

It’s going to be a treat sharing this event with my girls, giving them a taste of what it’s like to attend an awards night and showing them that hard work is the secret ingredient to being in such fabulous company with all the other finalists.

Wishing Everyone the Best of Luck

Sending my best wishes to my fellow finalists—Vincent, Lorraine, and Katie. It’s a true honour to be among such talented creators, and I’m excited to see what the night holds for all of us!

Thank you to my readers and community for your unwavering support, and I’m looking forward to an unforgettable night at the Fresh Awards Gala Night! 🌿🍎🌸
