Easter Egg Cake Bites
I have to admit–I was a little nervous how these little cake bites would turn out. But look! Aren’t they pretty?
Check them out more closely now–so that you can truly appreciate their glorious-ness. Oh, and that’s a pink bunny in the middle, not a wisdom tooth. Just saying…
Followed the simple tips for making Cake Bites from the Bakerella blog a couple of years ago while making Halloween Cake Pops. It goes like this~
Bake your favorite cake as directed. Once cooled, crumble into a large bowl. Now add 3/4 of a tub of compatible frosting and stir.
Scoop the cake into balls and then form them into egg shapes…
like this. Refrigerate or freeze about an hour.
Once cooled, dip your little cake bites in melted white chocolate…or regular chocolate…whatever you like.
Spoon each egg onto a waxed paper lined cookie sheet.
Some of these eggs may look a bit scary to you–but we had so much fun. Also, after they were decorated, I was shocked at how good they looked. :}
Once set–decorate any way you like. We used green candy melts–striped across–and colored sanding sugar.
And let me just tell you—
some sweet things are impossible to resist!
Note: Once your eggs set completely, store in an air tight container for up to 3-4 days…like they’ll last that long.
Easter Bunny Egg Hat
We wouldn’t want our hard boiled eggs to get cold now–would we? HA!
I first saw this little sweetie over at Mommy Creations and couldn’t help myself–I had to make…a few. The instructions are simple and it goes together fast–like in half an hour–which makes it the perfect little last minute doo-dad for prettying up those Easter baskets. Think of the possibilities, especially if you dye the eggs first…
pink egg/purple ears…
blue egg/green ears…
yellow egg/pink ears…
purple egg/blue ears…
We could be here a while–but you get the picture. Once you start this little project you might not be able to stop.
But you know how bunnies multiply!
:} heh, heh, heh…

Easter Garden Carrots
You are about to see a lovely row of carrots in a whole new light–and totally garden dirt free. This is one of those posts that don’t really need any words—but when did that ever stop me?
I saw these adorable carrot tops in Parent’s Magazine and didn’t bother to read the official instructions. I mean, seriously, how hard could it be?
Take a cute little marshmallow Circus Peanut…
and cut the top half from the bottom half…
like this.
Pinch the top half of the peanut into a carrot shape. Do whatever you want with the bottom half.
Now take the green Twizzlers from the pack and cut them into pieces about 1 inch long.
You can snip halfway down to make the “carrot top” flay a bit.
Once your favorite cupcakes are out of the oven, let them cool. Frost with white icing….
and assemble your carrots and then the green tops by pressing them into the frosting. What do you think? Aren’t they simple and amazing?
Yes…yes they are.
Now go forth my friends…and garden.
