Hope you all had amazing holiday time with family.
Congratulations to all our winners so far:
Week 1 we said congratulations to @ground2feet for being our first winner!
Week 2 our winner was @loveself with her incredible recipe
@loveself/cook-with-us-2-pearl-balls
Week 3 had two winners - and the results were so close that we had 2 for second place as well
The winners were Decadent Chocolate Mousse Cake by @whattheduck and Decadent Spongecake with Nutella fillings by @foodforsoul

@foodforsoul/cook-with-us-3-decadent-sponge-cake-with-nutella-fillings
and the winner for Week 4 was none other than @foodforsoul again.

So now we are prompted to remind all of our wonderful participants about the Winners Circle.
@ground2feet
@loveself
@whattheduck
@foodforsoul
As @foodforsoul took first place again in Week 4 we realised that the time had come for us to judge the winners with winners and give opportunity for all our other entrants to also reach the esteemed first place.

So - new rule - starting from Week 6 any entries from the above winners will be judged accordingly and will not be placed first, second or third. There will only be one winner from the Winners Circle - and the winner will receive 5 SBD
The balance of contestants will be judged as normal - and we will see new winners emerge. Remember we believe that you are all winners anyhow. We appreciate your efforts, from the shopping to the baking or cooking to the plating.
The Winners Circle will be judged in the normal way and therefore the same person can indeed win each week - but with the balance of our contestants we are giving you a better chance to reach the top position and join the Winners Circle
After we have a break in this season - it will all go back to normal - as if we were starting a brand new competition
Hope this puts a smile on all of your faces. Please let us know if you have ANY suggestions for improvement in our competition and please put some feelers out to encourage sponsors. We'd love to reward you even more - and that can be done through involving some important people.
