I'm making mini apple pies because its all I know how to make. I know it doesn't really go with the meal, but it was either that or funfetti cupcakes.
My friends family (SUPER religious) make a red velvet lamb cake every Easter. White fluffy icing, chocolate for eyes, then you'd slice into red cake. I guess the lamb is Jesus and eating the cake is showing his sacrifice? I dunno. My family just are Cadbury eggs.
The best thing about this GIF is that Ari Gold was Jewish. Like Jesus.
A religious family that I knew growing up used to bake a cake for baby Jesus every Christmas. They all blew out the candles. :\ That said, cake is cake so I don't judge.
We didn't sing or blow out candles but I remember my mom doing this when we were little. And I may still do it now. We like cake, okay? Any excuse is a good one to eat cake.
Easter was one of the big Holidays in our family and we always had strawberry pie and French silk pie. I have no idea why those two became the "traditional" desserts for Easter, but I love both kinds so I'm OK with it!
My mom used to make two round cakes, and use one for the face of a bunny and cut the other in half to make the ears. Then she would ice it and use toasted coconut over the whole thing to make it "furry" lol. Some spare Easter candy for eyes, nose and mouth, and voila!
Something easier might be a white cake trifle with vanilla pudding, mixed berries and whipped cream, so tasty.
This was the go to cake in my house for years. She used that spare bit from between the two ears as a bow tie for the bunny
What are you making for dessert? Growing up Easter was not a big deal in our house, just a basket in the morning. ILs are coming and it's bigger to them and I don't know what to make for dessert.
We always have Carrot Cake. Homemade and it's amazing.

You are a nerd, but I love you anyway.
I'm going to stop by my friend's bakery next Saturday to grab something good and snag flowers for my mom from the pop up shop she's having. Her stuff is incredible. She does a chocolate chip brownie bar that is obscene.
