Pastries and Sweets

Trix Krispies!!!

WOWIE ZOWIE!

Have you seen how pretty Trix cereal looks as rice krispies?

Or shall I say, Trix Krsipies.

:)

I didn't know what to make as a super fun Easter treat, but I think these are going to be the winner.

I am smitten!

Here is the recipe.

I am also really loving these little bunnies in a Twinkie car...

And I looooooove this bunny cake.

It reminds of all those mold cakes my mom used to make for my birthday parties as a kid.

Happy Happy Easter!!

Easter Breads

I love the traditions of Easter around the world, don't you?

I always love to look at the sweet bread from Italy.

(recipe & source)

It's so pretty.

If you are familiar with bread that is a little pastry like in sweetness, it's scrumptious!!

I grew up with Mexican sweet bread called Pan Dulce...

I had a long term Greek boyfriend once upon a time, and they made something like this in his family...

(source & recipe)

It's so much like challah really.

Here is a really neat list of Easter loaves from around the world.

The French make Pogne...

So pretty!

(tutorial here)

Do you have any special Easter traditions?

Christa and Volker Kraft go all out with their easter tree, oh my!

9,200 eggs or something like that.

Imagine?

Dreamy!

Just amazing to say the least.

I am still busy making my sugar eggs.

I've gone a bit crazy with the sugar part.

I am like a mad woman, pushing sugar into every mold I have.

All amused, like a kid with no hobby, haha!!

Homemade Twix Bars

I am not a huge chocolate fan.

Why?

I don't know.

My grandma isn't either.

I thinks it's genetic?

It makes me feel rotten, so I guess it's why I don't love it.

However...

Every once in a blue moon, I get this massive chocolate craving...

(recipe and image above)

A couple times a year maybe?

Today being one of those days.

And those times I have the crave, I don't feel too terrible after a piece.

So, this being one of those days, calls for these!

I found the recipe above on high heels and grills, and she got it from King Arthur Flour.

I am so on this right now.

Like, majorly.

Now, which recipe of the two to try?

Sugar Eggs {Panoramic Easter Eggs}

Remember those beautiful sugar eggs with little sceneries in them?

I think the Victorians called them Panorama (Panoramic) Easter Eggs.

I am desperate for some really old school ones.

My mom says that her and my aunt used to make them.

WHAT?

I want.

I would even try to make some actually.

(by the way, I plunged and made them, here)

Have you ever made them?

(source for images above)

There is an excellent tutorial right here...

I am so on this.

Another obsession coming on......!

I feel it.

Here is another great tutorial.

 I never thought it would be this easy!!

Check it out.
