BakeSpace.com was named a Webby Award “Official Honoree” for the second year in a row, and was the only food-oriented site recognized in the highly competitive Social Networking Category.

Launched in August 2006, the grassroots online community serves as a virtual kitchen where members gather to post, search and exchange recipes, share culinary tips and build relationships with other foodies from around the world. The site was created to preserve and update the age-old tradition of gathering in the kitchen to cook and socialize.

“We’re thrilled to be honored for the second year in a row and to share this recognition with the entire BakeSpace community,” said BakeSpace Founder Babette Pepaj. “Thanks to the creativity, passion and diversity of our members, people come to BakeSpace for the food, but stay for the conversation.”
