Self-isolation and social distancing sucks and I think most people would agree with me on that. I've been in it for a little over a month at this point, ever since San Francisco issued the shelter in place orders at the beginning of March. I have my good days and bad days to be sure, but with Easter coming up I was determined to do things that would lift my spirits. Plus, it gave me a great excuse to do even more baking!
Although I can't host the Easter brunch that I would have liked this year I can still decorate my table, right? I took advantage of the online promotions at Williams-Sonoma and Pottery Barn and bought a colony of ceramic bunnies and eggs to use as props. I also found some really cute paraphernalia and tons of Easter candy at my local Target.
I didn't really have any preset idea of what I wanted my table to look
like. My main goal was to create something that was pretty and I think
I've accomplished that. Pastel colors are used throughout the
tablescape to evoke spring and renewal. And who doesn't need that right
about now?
The baked goods I made included iced sugar cookies, mini bundt cakes and
gluten-free carrot cupcakes. At the center of the table was the pièce de résistance,
an Easter bunny made of Rice Krispies treats. Can it get any cuter
than that? It was so simple to make using a Nordicware Easter bunny pan
I bought a few years ago (similar pan found here.)
This Easter table is bringing all the good feels for me and I hope it's sparked a little joy for you. Happy Easter to anyone who is celebrating and to everyone out there, please stay safe, healthy and STAY HOME!
