A Wonderful Easter

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Gorgeous Liberty Print Easter Bunnies available from Alfresco Emporium

We had a very busy, but lovely Easter blessed with friends and family and lots of food and most importantly chocolate!

I got my hot cross bun truffles finished at midnight Easter Saturday and they were a hit.  I modified the recipe from one I found last year in a grocery catalogue.  They are simple to make and delicious.

I also made some cupcakes for the kids - an ode to the Oxford Street Bakery. The kids enjoyed them even if they weren't quite as beautiful as their beautiful cupcakes.

Easter Specialties

The Easter Bunny is on his way and all the Easter treats are everywhere to tempt us!  I have to show you the pic I took of the cakes I bought from the Oxford St Bakery.  This place makes the most amazing looking and tasting cakes,  particularly their cupcakes!  Just so scrumptious, my kids loved these cakes and ate the entire thing, which often doesn't happen - they usually just eat the icing off the top!

Are you looking for a special Easter themed gift or something to decorate your table for Easter celebrations? Etsy might be a good place to start looking for that special Easter something! Either Vintage or Handmade there is some wonderful creations to browse and buy! I have chosen Australian Etsy stores but with 20 or so sleeps to go you may have time to get items shipped from the U.S. or other destinations O.S.

One off Mali Doll - Smiley Bunny Mali Dolls

This is a wonderful new Etsy Store called Malidolls which has some wonderful Easter creations!  All the creations are unique! More wonderful Etsy creations below...

Sweet Handmade tags from Enchanted Quilling so many designs to choose from!

 

Beautiful French Market baskets from RetroBirdDesigns perfect for Easter Eggs or an Easter Hunt perhaps?

Have you found any wonderful Easter Treasures?  I have a wonderful truffle recipe that I like to make at Easter - I'll share this once I get them made! I also have a tradition with the kids that we find all our toy bunnies and take a photo surrounded by them!  Enjoy the lead up to Easter and this special time with family and friends!
