Easter 2017 ~ festive food

It is always hard to whittle down the holiday menus to a somewhat reasonable length when there are so many tasty traditional "must have" items as well as the optional but "oh so fun" choices that are so festive.

Easter Bunny Hummus Bread Bowl

The bread I picked for the Bunny Bread Bowl was a bit out of proportion in relation to the roll for the head which was disappointing. Though after some thought, I decided it might work to trim the loaf down to a more proportional size which worked out ok. In spite of the color difference I think our little bunny was still pretty cute. 

Deviled Egg Chicks

My deviled egg plate is flat in the middle however I wanted the "chicks" to stand upright so I cut out 4 clear Costco egg carton sections keeping them attached in the middle. It worked great. 

Angel Food Cupcakes

We usually have an Angel Food Cake for Easter however I had never tried making cupcakes. They were easy and turned out well but we decided we prefer the traditional tube cake version.  

Marinated Carrot Salad

Always a favorite! 

{ or at least one of my favorites }

Lemon Curd Mousse Parfaits ~ gluten free

{ Lemon Meringue Pie ~ back right }

Potted Carrots in Hummus

These little pots of hummus and carrots were just too cute! The little flower pots were some I painted several years ago for My Favorite Things Tea Party. They were perfect for the carrots. 

Happy Tuesday!
