Easter Saturday . . . In The Kitchen

Well, for most of the afternoon

The morning and lunchtime was spent with dear friend Sally

and we went to the town South of us

to visit some of our favorite haunts.

True Treasures came home with us!

But it is Easter Saturday

and there were a lot of Easter preparations to do

The eggs to dye

With vinegar and food coloring

in coffee cups

Always, coffee cups

It was what my mother did.

And it's what I do!

Then cupcakes to make

For special children at church

I can't claim credit for the decorations

I found them on a blog . . .

But I can't remember which one!

Green icing

Green tinted coconut

a smattering of jelly beans

and a cute rabbit holding another jelly bean

Which I put in cello bags

I'll hand them out at church tomorrow.

A tradition at church is breakfast on Easter morning . . .

So I'll bring these

A whole platter of egg cookies . . .

It is Easter after all

And it is breakfast

Cookies are okay for breakfast as long as they look like eggs!

And after 600 plus cookies for the fundraiser, one would assume that I would be tired

of baking cutout cookies.

But I had fun creating these -- I think they're quite clever!

And for the grown-ups?

Cheese Danish

Easy Cheese Danish

A Barefoot Contessa recipe

I'll bake them off tomorrow morning

just before we leave for the church.

I also baked the Easter dessert . . .

A lamb cake.

I'll frost it tomorrow and sprinkle with coconut.

Put currants for eyes and nose

And tie a big bow around it's neck.

Alas, no picture of the lamb . . .

Lamb's do not look good "nekkid"!

It is Sunday.   It is Easter.    I'm joining The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sunday.
