| Fully edible Easter centerpiece (even the grass is sour apple flavored!), tutorial soon to come! |
Holidays are important memory making days for me and I know I say this each time a new one rolls around but Easter really is one of my top favorite holidays! As a kid it meant I would be humiliating myself in front of my family searching for colorful hard boiled eggs. I think there is even a home video of me as a baby literally running into a wall trying to procure a pastel pink egg from the grass! These days I am embracing old traditions in new ways. For example, instead of hunting for Easter eggs I opted to make a centerpiece featuring gum ball easter eggs instead, be sure to check in because I'll be posting that tutorial soon! I also think that a tray of deviled eggs looks adorable but I preferred making "trick your friends" deviled eggs out of meringue! This Sunday I hope to put together a couple of my favorite dishes and enjoy a light meal that is heavy on friendships and served with a side of amazing movies! But one of my top favorite reasons why I love Easter is all the delicious candy!
 |
| These "deviled eggs" are actually meringue cookies! Full post here. |
 |
| Sipping on a sugary Spring cocktail I crafted inspired by a local Santa Cruz bar. The sweet then sour raspberry drink, like the bar is called "The Blue Lagoon." |
 |
| Showcasing my love for lollies. |
 |
| Because good fashion means matching your accessories to the gum you have stashed in your handbag ; ) I find great brooches, like this little Zebra at the Goodwill and Salvation Army on the cheap! |
 |
| Santa Cruz is also home of the adorable Banana Slug.... well, at least I think slugs are adorable when they take the form of candy lollipops! I got this little guy at Marinis candy shop. |
 |
| Sweet then tart easter bunnies served in an oversized tea cup along with rock candy, peppermint sticks, and chupa chumps. |
 |
| Since my man friend and I live in a non smoking apartment, we like to offer candy cigarettes to our guests instead. Satisfying your sweet tooth is the tastiest addiction anyway. |

| A pastel rainbow of jordan almonds and sweet gummy ice cream cones! |

Nico, you've given me my candy fix! HaHaHa Those peeps dipped in chocolate are the best. LOL at how you fooled your friends with those faux deviled eggs. Nico, you have always been talented doll. I know you're going to whip stuff up in the kitchen over Easter. I think it's such a pretty holiday.

Ooh all of this looks so tasty! How fun!
ReplyDeleteSadly for me, Easter has lost most of it's charm. There aren't any young kids in the family any more so we don't do the Easter egg hunts anymore. But it is always good to spend more time with my extended family :)

Oh my goodness--those meringue cookies that look like deviled eggs... Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhoo, this is definately a sugar rush special!! : ) The "peeps" with chocolate is something to consider. My family loves them straight from the package. I find them disgusting, but with chocolate they might be salvagable. Cute post.
ReplyDeleteLovely displays of treats! You should post some of your diner recipes! I cook at home 95% of the time too I just have a cooking rut and can't seem to make new things work. I love learning about what other cook. Look forward to seeing more of your posts as well:) take care
ReplyDeleteAll looks so yummy!!! *O*
ReplyDeleteHere in Spain everything is religion related and I hate it, nothing is fun or cute...
