Easter and Spring Round-Up
Easter and spring are such cheerful times of the year. The colors, the fun ideas, warmer weather, and longer days. This Easter and Spring round-up features ideas you’ll make for Easter and Mother’s Day brunch, birthday celebrations, and more all season long.
Spring is in the air and I just love all the pretty pastel colors and bright flavors of the season.
Pastel M&M’s for cookies and bars, bunny bait (Chex mix variety), pretty sprinkles for fudge, plus all the lemon recipes! Lemon just means spring for me. It adds bright flavor to anything like cakes, cupcakes, and sorbet.
Some of my personal favorites in this Easter and Spring round-up include the daisy shortbread cookies, the bunny cinnamon rolls, and the coconut cake.
The coconut cake is a family favorite and is a recipe I got from my Mom, many MANY years ago. She made it every Easter and now I do too. Be sure to check out the recipe, you won’t believe how easy it is. Plus, because it’s 3 layers, it’s a showstopper.
The fun strawberry “carrots” are an easy recipe the kids can get involved with to help make. Another fun recipe that will be a hit is this Peeps Shortbread Checkerboard from my friend Jolene’s Recipe Journal
