Linda in NM Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 My SIL asked us to bring dessert on Easter...and all we can think of is rabbit cakes with coconut icing. Anyone have any bright ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I make one every year - with a double batch of lemon curd for folks to spoon on as a topping. (MIL makes the dried-out, coconut-covered lamb cake.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxxxxxxx Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Banana Cake and Carrot Cake (I'm going to try Ree's recipe, it is new on her website) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieMonster Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I love fudge. The cheesecake is a great idea also and would probably go over well. I have never ever heard of having rabbit cakes with coconut icing until the past few days. Several people have mentioned them on the boards here.

Elisabeth in IL Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'm bringing a bunch of fresh fruit because my dh and I are doing a Biggest Loser Couple game against another couple so no sugary deserts for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 The friends we are spending Easter with always make baklava. I was at her house yesterday and we made some and it was surprisingly easy. (Time-consuming but not difficult.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy loves Bud Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I've got a great carrot cake recipe on my blog. I made it for my nephew's rehearsal dinner last week and it was very good. recipe on my blog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyR Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 We're Italian so our Easter desserts are usually Rice Pie, Ricotta Cheese Pie, Ricotta Cheese cookies, Easter egg bread. I used to make a great Strufoli, but it's difficult and takes a long time. I haven't made that in years. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I think I made Strufoli for Christmas.

DIY-DY Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 My SIL asked us to bring dessert on Easter...and all we can think of is rabbit cakes with coconut icing. Anyone have any bright ideas? I am SO going the easy route this year. We're making dump cake for dessert. Dump into a 9x13 pan: one can on pineapple one can of cherry pie filling Spread it around a bit to cover the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle on top of this, the contents of a yellow box cake mix. (Yup, just tear it open and pour it on.) Slice two sticks of butter over the top of that. (Don't touch it. Don't mix it. I kid you not.) Bake at 350 for one hour. Serve warmed w/ ice cream, for a real treat. Or eat it straight out of the pan w/ a fork and pretend you don't know what happened to it, when the kids come asking for another piece. DH doesn't even like cake, but he loves this stuff. It's like a cobbler, but without any of the actual work. Oh. Dear. Me. Happy laziness!
