Easter is a time of the year when you make a festive meal to share with your friends and family. Easter also means a relaxed Sunday luncheon with mouthwatering dishes and tantalizing desserts. Here are some creative Easter desserts that you can make to treat your guests.
Bunny Cake
Delight your guests with Easter desserts like a huge spring-themed bunny cake. On a large chocolate cake, outline the shape of the bunny and cover it with white frosting to resemble a white bunny rabbit. You can use marshmallows for the fluffy tail, sprinkle some green frosting for the grass, and even some chocolate chips for an enhancing effect. You can also use jelly beans, grated coconut, and almonds to further beautify the cake.
Hot Cross Buns
Hot cross buns are a classic Easter favorite. A perfect teatime snack, the tradition of serving hot cross buns for Easter started in the 1300s. These buns are full of raisins and dried currants. The white icing cross on top makes it appear delicious. Apart from a teatime snack, you can also serve it in a pretty basket as dessert.
Easter Cupcakes
Cupcakes are a hit with people of all age groups. An assorted mix of cupcakes made using different kinds of Easter decorations will make for a great addition to your Easter celebrations. Use creative ideas for decorating your cupcakes. You can use white frosting and add shredded coconut or add green food color to the frosting to depict grass. You can also use colorful marshmallows, candy and jelly beans.
Incorporate classic, traditional Easter decorations for your dinner table settings as well. For instance, you can place an egg basket in the center with painted eggs in bright colors and patterns. To create decoupage eggs, cover eggs in glitter or stick crystals on them to turn them into real works of art. You can also buy serveware and dinner napkins depicting bunnies and floral prints that are typical of the spring season. You can also place Easter desserts like a decorative jar filled with sugary sweets like candies, colorful jellybeans and marshmallows as a table centerpiece.
