When I put out the call for participants for this month's Sugar High Friday, Sweet Seduction, I was very curious to see how foodbloggerdom would rise to the occasion.
Well...all I can say is we are a lusty little lot, aren't we?
Whether we are cooking for the one we love, would like to love, or simply ourselves, these food bloggers came up with deliciously sweet and creative ways to let their true feelings be known.
Of course, there's lots of chocolate, but there are also creamy puddings, astringent citruses, juicy berries and chewy cookies.
Please take the time to visit these wonderful posts. There are great stories and lots of suggestions as to how to make your next sweetly seductive moment truly memorable.
Thanks so much to everyone, especially Jennifer who started this fabulous event 27 Sugar High Fridays ago.

For those of you with a bit more stamina, Emily of Chocolate In Context will host SHF29: Unrefined Cacao. Creat culinary treats using cacao beans, cacao nibs, or untreated cocoa powder. Anyone with access to cacao at its source will also be invited to use ingredients that are even more raw--such as cacao pods or pulp, or cocoa butter. She's busy being the itinerant traveller, so the full post isn't up yet, but she will have more info up a bit later.
cheers!

Good golly Miss Molly, it'll be next year before I make my way through all of these blogs!
You have done an simply fantastic job Jasmine!!
Hooray for you!!!
Everything looks incredible.
Thanks for doing the round up! When I finished all those great looking recipes I must do some diet :-)
But I made a Royal Parfait for my sweethearts, not a sweet heart.
What a collection indeed! It seems that every time, the list is getting longer and longer! Great job Jasmine! Merci!
Thanks for hosting Jasmine! I had fun taking part in my very first SHF. I'm looking forward to reading all the other entries.
That is one huge round up! Thanks for hosting Jasmine!
Very nice (and speedy!) job on the round-up. Thank you!
You outdid yourself. What a great roundup!
What a turnout! I want one of everything please!
WOW! What a feast for the sweet toothed! I have my fork ready and now I am off to try some from all the entries. Great job Jasmine. THANKS!
Great job with the roundup, Jasmine! Thanks!
I'll take one over everything...on second thought, make it two.
:)
You did a great job Jasmine. Thank you so much!
Every one looks like they had fun fulfilling the sweet seduction subject! But then, how hard is it to make a delicious dessert? I never need any convincing! Thanks Jasmine for hosting, you did a great job!
Hi Jasmine - thanks so much for the great theme, I was hoping to take part but couldn't make it sadly. Thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous round up nonetheless :)
Jasmine... You Rock! Fantastic idea and fantastic round-up, you make organizing these food events look so seemless.
Hello all
I thought I responded to you all--must be the squirrels in the system.
Thanks so much for your comments--all of you came up with some really lovely and seductive treats.
Ulrike - Sorry about that-I corrected the summary.
Keiko - You always have fabulous foods at your site--always seductively delicious.
Sam - Thanks so much! It'll be really weird NOT having an event to host for the next while...mind you, I'll enjoy the extra time (hahaha).
