I still nit sure, but I think I'll make NFSC with Antonia's icing and I want to try to make fortune cookies and dip them in chocolate.

What about you??

I'm looking for 3D egg molds. I want to do chocolate eggs filled with homemade caramel and marshmallow, then paint the outsides with luster dusts

I'm making a 2 tiered MMF covered carrot cake w/cream cheese icing underneath. I'm trying out a couple new textured rolling pins that I bought off eBay. I'm so excited!

By the way, does anyone have a recipe for fortune cookies?

I always have a brunch so I am making my sweet rolls twisted into the shape of bunnies, a coffee cake made in a Wilton Easter Bunny 3D cake pan, hot cross buns, and an almond filled bread.

The little kids will decorate RKT that I smushed into the egg cupcake pans, and maybe NFSC. The 2 & 3 year olds paint the cookies with colored Karo syrup and then add sprinkles, fondant cut out whatever.

DH will be cleaning the kitchen floor with the Hoover floormate.

Age has its rewards. He would have never done that until he became a grandfather.

That's too cute!!

Not cookies, that's for sure...they kicked my but Christmas and Valentines day...I was worn out! I think I'll try a cake this time.

I'm still waiting to find out if I'm making a meal at home or not before I decide.

The last few big holidays my husband's extended family has mostly not shown up at his aunts despite her cooking for everyone so it sounds like they'll be stopping the meals.

If they do not have a big family meal I will be making dinner for us and my husband's parents. I told them that I would cook a meal if needed because my MIL will be busy with her church that weekend so she won't have time. Since my family doesn't attend church it makes sense that I cook the meal.

I know I'm going to be making cookies, my husband's grandma really likes them and I figure I'll make up a basket for her.

I'll wait to decide the rest until I know what's going on.

I make these sometimes for Easter.

If you leave them as is they are little birdie nests.
If you put a handle you have a little basket.

I love you RKT idea k8memphis! Those look so cute & easy to do! Thanks for the idea.

I hate always having to make the desserts. I ALWAYS have to make the desserts. Before I can even get out "I will bring a..." Someone is always saying "Oh, Kim will bring the dessert!"

My husbands family is not that big on sweets either, so I think I am going to keep it simple and make a carrot cake and some bubble bread. Oh, yeah and a mini GF cheesecake for my BIL and me.

The kids will get enough candy to keep them on a sugar high until next winter, so I am not aiming to please them this year.

Since I (chocolate) gave up chocolate for Lent, I (chocolate) guarantee I will be (chocolate) making something CHOCOLATE!!!

A few years back i made some really cute individual cakes using the half egg mold pan. They were to look like cooked eggs. I baked vanilla cake, baked in mold, glazed them once cooled and then filled with lemon curd. Really yummy, and a crowd pleaser. Here's a picture of the idea i'm talking of..http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/easter-egg-cakes

This year i dunno yet what i'm baking but i've been repeatedly tempted to buy new easter cookie cutters that i've been seeing all over town. I have so many cutters as it is, i think my husband would scream if i bought more.;0)

Well, as of now, I'm making some of k8's RKT nests (I looked at all the other things you had posted there, k8, and I see you're not only awesome at cake decorating! ). I want to make some of those old-fashioned hollowed-out sugar mold eggs - the ones that have a peephole at the end with a little scene inside and the seams and edges are decorated with RI shells, because I finally found the molds again. I used to make a few every year. My granddaughter and I traditionally make some little chickies out of puff pastry (we buy it at the bakery and cut out a body and a head from two sizes of very small oval cutters, then put them together and bake them until they're golden). This tradition came about becuase I was looking for a substitute for Peeps for the Easter egg hunt and couldn't find any here. I'm sure we'll think up some other stuff as well. Our egg-dying sessions are legendary - both because we try something new every year and because of the mess we manage to make!

I'm doing a "Mr. MacGregor's Garden Cake" with the WS Vegetable Patch Cakelet Pan and a fondant Peter Rabbit. It'll be carrot cake with cream cheese filling and BC icing.

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like them.

What I do is keep my rkt over a pan of hot water to keep them warm to buy time while I mold them--I use a small rounded cup shape to use to squosh them into so they'll slide out easy.

Then I mold and set them to dry upside down for several several hours. They can be a little wayward staying together at first.

I'm so glad ya'll liked them.

This rkt item was the first thing I ever posted online four years ago.

PS. Green food coloring into the coconut for 'grass'.

I never made rkt before, do you have any tips?

That's a great tutorial, thank you so much!!

I'm making vegan chocolate bunnies for my daughter, just for the sake of tradition and fun. We don't celebrate Easter, just do the fun stuff (paint wooden eggs, scavenger hunt) just because it's symbolic of Spring, otherwise I'd be making lots of stuff for the families. I think I might try doing one of those choc bird's nests too.

I absolutely love those Peter Rabbit cakes. They are so cute...

Well, this is a multi-functioned Easter for us this year. First, one of our dh's is joining the Church, so we'll be making a 1st Communion/Confirmation/Welcome cake for him; which also falls on my birthday so it'll also have a happy birthday element; and then the most important part of the weekend - Easter - so it'll have an Easter element; and then my dh's birthday is Easter this year (the day after my birthday) so it'll have a happy birthday element for him; and then my friend and her dh who is the one joining the Church are celebrating their 10 year anniversary on Good Friday so we have to throw an anniversary element into the cake; and then our 3rd cake partner has a birthday on the 15th so we thought we'd go ahead and include a birthday element on the cake for her!

So does anyone have any great ideas for a cake that celebrates: 1st Communion/Confirmation, 3 Birthdays, an anniversary, and Easter!?!?!

Should be an interesting looking cake!!!

I would make a tier for each occasion, I think you can incorporate all elements of the celebrations in eah tier and using pastels colors.

I am making these bunnies and duckies from marshmallows. Hope you like them.
