A little piece of Easter

2008.03.23
A slice of heaven...

The edible centrepiece

Some little bunny candles my mum found

This cake has long been a part of Easter celebrations within my family. It's a simple lemon sponge cake made by my mum, covered in shredded coconut and always garnished with the little daisies that grow in the backyard. And of course, a few candied chocolate eggs (if they survive my dad's eating them one by one when no one is looking).

To all my lovely friends here on PB (you know who you are), I hope you have a very Happy Easter, however, and with whomever, you choose to spend it :)

oldbabe That cake is a nice tradition. I've never heard of that. How did it get started? With your mom, or before her with her family? Funny tradition about dad eating the eggs, too. Would you expect less? ;-)

photopoet Lovely cake. Traditions are wonderful—I think they sometimes are a glue in a family waiting to be passed on from generation to generation. A friend of mine, who is now a minister, said that she invited people to her home for Easter dinner so she could reenact some of her family traditions. Her family lived far away.

lexlevans what a beautiful cake! those chocolate eggs wouldn't survive my quick little fingers either - hehe. i love holiday traditions. my mom was on vacation this year so i had a little bit different of an easter - but my friend and her family took in any stragglers who needed a home so that was super nice :-)

cute little bunny candles! looks like you had a very nice family easter! :-)
