Last-minute Easter ideas are fabulous especially when the holiday is coming fast! Whether you’re celebrating big or small-scale this year, you can still whip up some delicious fun fit for any kind of celebration. So I’ve rounded up a few of my all-time favorites to share with you today! These easy treats and snack hacks will help make your Easter festivities extra special without much fuss. You can entertain beautifully but keep the weekend focused on the wonderful meaning of the holiday! Let’s “hop” ahead to the simple preparations…
last-minute but not less festive!
a favorite treat any time of year is a s’more. give it a springtime flair with colorful mallows! (Easter Peeps would be a fun alternative)
top a cake!
try topping store bought cakes with pastel candy…something pretty easy to find this time of year!
party tip:
dropping your cupcakes into holiday cups is another simple way to dress them up. or try scattering some festive cake sprinkles on your serving dish resembling confetti!
or try embellishing your cakes with edible ears!
easily made by trimming madeleine cakes into bunny ears and securing them with a toothpick. see the tutorial here
try some pie!
one of my favorite dessert hacks is decorating a pie using cookie cutters and pre-made pie crust dough. a bouquet of blooms…
or peter cottontail! get as creative as you like. make it simple or elaborate the end result is so festive either way!
baking tip:
the berries on the unbaked pies were for photographic purposes. bake without the fruit and add the fresh berries once the pie is out of the oven and cooled. if the berry won’t stay in place, a dab of pie filling underneath will help hold it!
something more savory…
deviled eggs are such a fun appetizer or brunch item for the holiday. try serving up your favorite recipe in a basket filled with edible shred aka: cabbage!
how about a simple charcuterie with the sweetest cheese bunnies on board? see the tutorial here
or serve up a small salad in champagne saucers topped with a bunny crouton. an easy yet elegant addition to the easter table!
party tip:
create the croutons with puff pastry and a cookie cutter. sprinkle with your favorite seasoning and some parmesan cheese before baking. no champagne saucers? no problem. any small bowl will work just as well!
sweet favors!
setting a table with tiny parting gifts is always a treat. send your guests home with mini easter baskets made from seedling peat pots! see the tutorial here
