I hope everyone who celebrated Easter had a good one. We celebrated at my dil's sister's house. The weather here on Long Island was perfect, and the Easter egg hunt went off without a hitch!
I was a guest, but filled 120 eggs for the hunt, and goodie bags for the kids. 
We also did a Guess the # of Jelly Beans Contest.
There were 17 adults and 10 kids. The hostess did a wonderful job with the seating and setting.
I made a whipped cream egg cake, cherry and whipped cream filling. I tinted the layers, pink and green, but didn't get a pic when it was cut. It did look pretty! 
The traditional chocolate cake eggs dipped in chocolate. 
I put the jelly beans on when we got there as they run into the whipped cream!
The little bristle bunny is from WSonoma Outlet. I picked up a few bargains there Friday, he was 2 and change from 19.95
I will show you the other things I got in my next post.
I had some extra chocolate batter and whipped cream left, so I made a few cupcakes, cut out the center, filled it with cream, and then dipped them in chocolate. A few swirls of whipped cream. It's Easter, you get to eat chocolate for breakfast! :)
Dig in, I'll pour the milk!
Hope your holiday was happy!
Don't forget Wednesday night at 7 for Let's Dish, meeting 4!
I think I got to everyone, if I didn't I will!
I am joining The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sunday.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful celebration and lots of fun. Oh I love cake for breakfast! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun time was had by all...chocolate for breakfast sounds divine as long as it was one of your chocolate cake eggs. Congrats, Dotsie!
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks so good, and yes, the hostess did a great job with the table. The weather was picture perfect! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Easter you had! The table is beautiful, and that is one delicious looking cake!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect day! I haven't been to an egg hunt since I retired, but I think egg hunts are a great fun. Who found the golden egg?
ReplyDeleteIt was a perfect day and evening here as well. We had dinner on the terrace and were back out this morning for breakfast. This is my favorite time of year for dining alfresco.
Have a good week.........Sarah
Wow that was quite the get together. So many yummy things. BTW I left a note on Podso's blog telling her you needed to contact her.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun time, Kathleen! Your cake looks so pretty, as do the chocolate cake eggs!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a waonderful Easter! The FOOD looks awesome. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteJust love you, beautiful lady..We seem to be cut from the same cake mold
ReplyDelete...I also was a guest, but did the centerpiece and Lamb cake in coconut for our gracious hostess. Never did find out how to be a complete guest. I ordered your swirl pan and managed to snag a six opening pineapple form
pan as well....but never at your stunning prices...like that bristle
bunny.....still learning.

It looks like a fun time hunting the eggs. 120? oh my! The table setting is lovely and so are the delicious looking deserts.
ReplyDeleteBabs
Your cake was gorgeous! I would have loved to have seen the middle. And the cupcakes...yum! Sounds like you had a wonderful Easter! Hurray for Podso! :)
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
What a huge crowd you had!...Looks like there was a great time had by all!...The cakes look wonderful...I am sure it did not last very long!!...Glad you had great weather too!
ReplyDeleteNot at my house. We were guests.
DeleteIt all looks wonderful to me. We had a big crowd, but NOTHING like the crowd at your Easter. The larger cake and those little chocolate egg cakes both look delicious.
ReplyDeleteAnd I got your wonderful card and gift in the mail this weekend! THANK YOU again, and I'll be sure to yak all about how I use it.
Happy Easter!
Kathleen, that's my kind of breakfast. My mouth is watering. Your cake is beautiful, but I do wish you had thought to take a photo when it was cut. I bet it was amazing! Looks like a fun Easter hunt. The weather was great here too. laurie
ReplyDeleteWow...great photos of the Easter egg hunt. And what good weather you had. The cake looks beautiful, but being a chocoholic, the chocolate eggs and the breakfast cupcake, which apparently you just "whipped up" look marvelous and something that would take me hours to accomplish. Looks like a good day. Thanks again for the magazine subscription ... I really can hardly take in that I was chosen!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful day, Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Easter Day you had! I am a new blogger and truly enjoy reading yours! Nancy
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a beautiful Easter Sunday, Kathleen. It's rained here so much that most of the egg hunts around town were canceled this year. Your desserts are so pretty and festive.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful day. That's a lot of people to host. Your eggs look amazing. Wonderful, as always, to have you at Seasonal Sundays this Easter.

Pretty tablescape in your header, Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fun filled Easter...loved seeing your pretty egg shaped cake (do you have a special pan or did you trim it that shape?) as well as those yummy looking chocolate treats. You always do such a nice job!
I can't even imagine trying to feel 27 people!!!!!! Yikes!!! I hope they ALL helped with clean-up.
Hugs,
Rett
It is a layer cake pan shaped like an egg. I have two of them. Had them for years! And those egg pans came over on Noah's Ark!
DeleteLooks like a fun day! you did a terrific job!
ReplyDeleteI only did the cakes, an appy and glazed carrots and a fruit salad, so I had it easy. The hosts had a lot to do, and they have 2 little ones and work full time!
DeleteWhat a perfect Ester you had! You're good.
ReplyDeleteRita
Love the pics. How fun. The table looks amazing. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteLooks like your family had a great Easter afternoon. The hostess did indeed set a great table.
Blessings, Ginger
What a cute table and such delicious food. I love the carrot napkins!...Christine
ReplyDeleteThose chocolate eggs look delicious. Wish I had one now. I love the little lettuce plate with the bunnies on each side. Looks like a wonderful day with your family. Thanks for sharing it with us at Your Cozy Home Party.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen! Oh, looks like a wonderful Easter. The tables look so pretty too. Love all of the yummy looking food and your cake is lovely!
ReplyDeleteNow if I could just reach through the screen and grab one of those chocolate eggs! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Looks like everyone had lots of fun on Easter!
ReplyDeleteIt looked like a fun time for you and your family at Easter, Kathleen! This will be happy memories for all the children.
ReplyDeleteWe had a quiet holiday --went to chuch--went to brunch at a restaurant --and went home and rested. V & I have been working so hard at getting my Mom's house emptied that we were too exhausted to do much more. We are almost finished. Bless my Mom;s heart but she had a lot of stuff!
