15 Amazing Easter Desserts

April 7, 2017

Hi, my name is Lindsey and I’m addicted to baking. How do I know? (Have you read the blog? That should be all the proof you need.) Well, I promised myself I wouldn’t do any baking this coming weekend after a tornado of flour and sugar went through my kitchen last weekend. But here I am, a week away from Easter wanting to make all of these fun desserts! As I sit here I’m strategizing how I can fit in a carrot cake, macarons, cookies, and petit fours all before Easter. I clearly have issues, folks.

(Although I would also argue that I’m just looking out for my emotional wellbeing per this article)

Since I will hopefully no baking (…well, maybe a little baking?….like one cookie?…I cant just make one cookie….how about 12 cookies….) I thought I would share with you all the things I wish I was making this weekend. Maybe both of us will be inspired by the 15 amazing Easter desserts!

So, who else want to join bakers anonymous with me? I’ll bring some (homemade) donuts to the next meeting. 😉

Eyelet Lace Easter Egg Cookies

March 31, 2017

Quick post today, guys! But it’s a good one, I promise because it has a video! Aren’t those so much better than the ones where I just drone on and one? Probably.

I made these cookies after my cookie decorating class this past weekend. Since this was an intermediate class, one of the techniques that I taught was this eyelet lace effect. I love it uses some pretty basic piping techniques, but it looks much more complicated. 

Just see for yourself!

Unfortunately I didn’t catch the part where I added the flowers. But I have shown you guys that effect in another video, so hopefully you can put the two together!

If you want to make some bunnies to go with your eggs, they are super easy! Just outline and fill the cookies. Once they are crusted over (about 20 minutes) add three small dots scattered around the cookie. Then go in and add some flowers! Easy peasy lemon squeasy! (Ok, I know yall are rolling your eyes at me, but I literally taught these same cookies to a bunch of people who little to know cookie decorating experiences, and their cookies turned out awesome! It’s amazing what a couple piping tips can do!)

Here are some of the things I used to make these cookies:

  • toothpick or scribe tool
  • piping tips #1, #16, #18, #24, #224, #349
  • flood consistency icing in white and the colors of your choice
  • piping consistency icing in white
  • stiff consistency icing in various colors for flowers and leaves

If you try these cookies, I would love to see what you create! 

As always, I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe, with a little lemon zest added, and royal icing recipe. 

Have a hoppy Easter!
