Easter

Easter Basket with flowers

When I cleaned out my mother’s house years ago, I found the basket I used as an Easter Basket as a child. It was the only one I ever had, and was used year after year. I decided to fill it with flowers and use it as part of my Easter Decorations…sweet memories.

Sugar Easter Eggs

To make the Sugar Egg I used a Taste of Home Recipe for a guide (or download here Sugar Easter Egg). I used their recipe for the egg, which consisted of:

3 tablespoons water

food coloring

4-1/2 cups sugar

I put all the ingredients in a ziplock bag and mixed up really well and then pressed into an egg mold, turned over on wax paper. I cut the ends off equally. I let dry for a few hours then carefully scooped out the centers. Instead of putting in the oven as the recipe calls for I just let them air dry for a couple of days.

I made the royal frosting with meringue powder. I followed the recipe that came with the powder.
