Easter!

April 4, 2013 by shelley

Easter came early this year, the last Sunday in March. And to think it was just a week ago we were shoveling almost a foot of snow. Spring is much later this year and I was not able to use any flowers from my yard, the forsythia has not even bloomed yet.  But I still had my Easter flower centerpiece on the table.

Easter table is set with deseret rose place settings, accented with a green charger, pink handled fiesta ware flatware.

Each place has its own carrot cake in a flower pot, and new this year a yellow chocolate duck.

Even though the Bunny Bread from Great Harvest Bread is delicious, no one can bring themselves to take a knife and slice into the bunny.

Carrot Cake, and carrot candy and carrot cake baked in a flower pot are also part of the dessert buffet.

Another tradition is chick cupcakes.

Brightly colored chick lemon flavored cupcakes and peep bunnies on a stick are just a part of our Easter dinner dessert.

A whole clutch of chick cupcakes, in lemon, have become a traditional part of Easter dinner.
