Easter Baking

First of all welcome to my new blog! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and enjoying lots of chocolate. I had a great weekend, spending time with the family and best of all baking.

Here are some of my bakes that I made for Easter.

First of all my cupcakes taken from the recipe Vanilla Cupcakes in The Great British Bake Off Book - Learn to Bake, By Linda Collister (Foreword by Mary Berry)  .

This year I decided to go with a bunny and chick theme. The pipe work I used two different types of nozzles. For the bunny cupcakes I used a 2D nozzle and for the grass effect I used a Wilton 233 small grass nozzle. You can normally find these at a local cake supply shop, Amazon or Hobbycraft. The rabbits and the flowers I made by hand using PME cutters.
These were great fun to make and I also thought it would be fun to use my teacup silicone cases I got for Christmas from a friend.

I also made Gingerbread bunnies and Cadbury Chocolate nests which my family love and are really easy to make.

The final piece of baking was my Chocolate Easter Cake which I adapted from Mary Berry's Victoria Sponge recipe from her book Simple Cakes. Which I decorated with butter icing, mini eggs and Easter chicks.

Finally I put them all together for them to enjoy!

 Hope you liked my first blog post! Please let me know what you think and look forward to posting again soon.
