Easter bakes and Decor


Spring has officially arrived, show me the pastels, chocy eggs and daffodils. I'm really feeling the spirit and decided to make some Easter decorations which are really simple to make yet very effective.

I started off with a simple adorable Bunny Banner. The supply's you need are some different coloured paper ( I choose spring pastels), string/wool, scissors and some pom pom's for tails. I also found this bunny template as I am the worlds worst artiest.


This by magic turn into an adorable banner. Simply trace a bunny onto each different coloured paper, cut out and evenly space glue onto some string/wool then add a pom pom as a tail


Next up my specially, turning paper rolls into beautiful art pieces. Hence the 'Bunny Bunch'



Which started out as simple loo rolls. Cut in half then using the part you don't need as a body cut out ears and a bow-tie. Prettily painted and using a marker to draw eyes and whiskers, finish off with a pom pom as a nose.
Now the cutest little thing you can get from a plastic spoon. Originally these were meant to be place names but I decided their just as cute as little decorations stood in some oasis decorated with shredded paper and foam eggs.



Simply pain plastic takeaway spoons, add a beak and eyes then top it off with a little bow.

Now on to the good stuff. CAKE.
 I used a basic Sponge cake recipe:
100g Self-Raising flour
100g Caster Sugar
50g Butter                            
 Few drops of Vanilla extract.
  • Butter Cream Icing:
  • 50g unsalted butter               
  • 225g icing sugar
  • .2 tbsp water                      
  • 1tsp Vanilla extract.

After covering the top of the cake in butter cream icing I piped a small nest in the centre of the cake and filled it with mini eggs and placed them all around the edge of the cake.

After the Bunny Banner was hung up I set the table in a very festive way with an Easter tablecloth and  my Décor along with the cake as a centrepiece and some bunny buns I also made but didn't exactly work.
