What an exciting week! The Cook with Us team (Hive account@pandamama, Hive account@offoodandart and Hive account@chefsteve), was so impressed by all of you. The entries are getting better and better each week and we are so happy that the level of engagement between all of the contestants is increasing. It is by reading, commenting and upvoting each other that our Cook with Us community grows. We would like to take a minute to thank everyone that participated in the contest this week. Everyone has contributed interesting and tasty looking entries. We know what it takes to plan, shop, cook, photograph, cleanup and to write the post. We appreciate all of your hard work to make these amazing entries.

This week we had some last minute entries that really shook up the competition and when all the votes were counted we ended up with two ties! First place and Second place each have two winners this week. So, let's see who the winners are!

And The WINNERS Are...

Decadent Chocolate Mousse Cake by Hive account@whattheduck and Decadent Spongecake with Nutella fillings by Hive account@foodforsoul

Congratulations Hive account@foodforsoul you are the other co-winner this week! You will also receive 5 SBD for placing first. Your sponge cake with nutella was so refined. We were really impressed with the chocolate decorations that you made.

And the Second Place Winners are...

Carrot Cake with Cheese Cake Center by Hive account@portobello8 and Butterscotch Fruit Cocktail Sponge by Hive account@lizelle

Hive account@portobello8, Congratulations for being a co-winner of the second place award. You will receive 3 SBD this week. You had our favorite photograph of the week! It was very creative
how you put the cheesecake inside the carrot cake. We all agreed that this took your carrot cake to a new level of awesomeness!

Congratulations Hive account@lizelle! You are the other co-winner of second place this week. You will receive 3 SBD as your reward. Your dessert looked so delicious with the butterscotch topping. We loved the photograph of your plated dessert with the addition of passion fruit. It looked like a photograph from a food magazine.

And in Third Place...

The Amazing Crumble Cream Cake by Hive account@cooknbake

Congratulations Hive account@cooknbake! You have won third place this week and you will receive 1 SBD. We loved your dessert this week. It was simple and soul satisfying. With the contrasting textures and creamy filling, this dessert is a real crowd pleaser!
