Well a few weeks ago I had big Easter plans . . . sweet fabric to make a dress for my daughter, wool for making needle felted rabbits, a brand new cookie cutter to make bunny shaped chocolates . . . the list may even go on, but alas, this last week has been a scurrying hurrying ball of new house fun/work and none of those things happened . . . we only just barely scrapped together time to dye eggs . . .
Last minute I resigned myself to bought bunnies and pastel wrapped Hershey kisses. I felt a mixed vigor of diapointment and odd enjoyment at how catalogue the table looked . . .
Today however I dove into Easter cooking and produced a very lovely brunch . . . 
With hot-cross-buns . . .
With hot-cross-buns . . .
I made modeling chocolate for sculpting the bunnies, something I had never done before, but have been aching to try after watching way too many episodes of Cake Boss.
The bunnies came out remotely acceptable, but I feel a few more tries are in order. . .

Wow, I wish I'd been at yours for easter. Everything looks stunning! Happy easter x
ReplyDeleteI like your hot cross buns. I've been wondering how I could do the cross without the frosting and there is the answer, thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy husband would be drooling over those hot cross buns. Myself, I am drooling over the cake. Adorable bunnies!
ReplyDeleteyour brunch looks so rustic and perfect! I made hot cross buns one year, back in high school I think. I meant to do so again this year, but I forgot! I'm glad yours turned out well though!
ReplyDeleteI am sure everyone in the house were happy with all the effort you put into cooking this delcious Easter brunch and with their bought chocolate. We live in a world where the clock seem to be spinning, so we do not alwyas succeed in doing all the things we want. I bet your Easter was a wonderful one xx
