Julie in CA Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I need to know! :D For Easter, your favorite fancy dessert, and your favorite more casual dessert. Thanks! p.s. Yep, I'm deliberately being vague. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 we're doing a chocolate cheesecake. It's easy. to dress it up, add melba sauce. it's not easter without chocolate. or we do have a bakery here that does a wonderful white cake with raspberry filling and marzipan icing. or a coconut white chocolate cake . . (I haven't found a recipie I like, and the restaurant I always got it at went out of business.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjzimmer1 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Our family always has yummy strawberry dessert. It's an angel food cake mixed with strawberry jello, sliced strawberries and real cream. I'm not a fan of jello but this dessert is a favorite by all the jello haters in the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK_Mom4 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 This coconut cake. Made with unsweetened coconut milk and full fat sour cream. Frosting is lemony cream cheese frosting. For less fancy dessert, we like frosted sugar cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxie Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Wheat Pie, Rice Pie and Ricotta cheesecake. Italian Easter traditionals. Isn't Easter without them. This minus the wheat pie. I've never heard of that. I'll have to ask my MIL if she has had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMommy Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I always make carrot cake. Every year, I say I'm going to try something different, but every year, I remember just how good this carrot cake is, plus, I'm a creature of habit...

Ali in OR Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I want a lemon cake. A lovely white cake with a lemon filling and light creamy lemony frosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMommy Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Here's a great lemon cake recipe. I did actually make this for Easter several years ago, before I found the perfect carrot cake recipe. It's also great if you substitue lime for the lemon flavors. My son asked for that for his birthday last year and loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 You mean there is more for dessert than the chocolate bunny? :001_huh:;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 We do the traditional pound cake in the shape of a lamb. My favorite though is molded custard, it's sort of like custard jello. It's pure white and delicious with fabulous fruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamzanne Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 fancy: vanilla bean panna cotta with berry sauce, flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sauce and whipped cream, lemon curd tarts simple: eclair cake, chocolate chip cinnamon coffee cake, berry fougasse (focaccia dough minus the herbs, top with berries and crumble topping) This year for our celebration we're doing the flourless chocolate cake, mini lemon curd shortbread tarts, and the berry fougasse.

Julie in CA Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 You mean there is more for dessert than the chocolate bunny? :001_huh:;) I personally think the bunny is sufficient. :D My sister-in-law has asked me to bring a dessert for Easter, but it can't be a pie, because someone's already making a pie. It also can't be cheesecake, 'cause niece is already making a cheesecake. The bummer is that I'm already making lovely lemon cheesecakes and Cookies & Creme cheesecakes for work, and that would have been so very easy for me to bring {sigh}. I'm having trouble becoming enthusiastic about anything else. :001_huh: I'm also making carrot cakes, but I'm so very bored with that. I could make a coconut cake, but they don't have anything chocolate yet, so maybe a chocolate layer cake? (also boring :001_huh:) I guess I could do a coconut cake and some chocolate sauce that people could pour over it if they're so inclined. I'm just really *bored*. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristangrace Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Casual: Easter nests made from chow mein noodles (also marshmallow creme, PB, butter, crushed M&Ms) with Cadbury mini-eggs in them. I have never gotten over the perfect combination of cute, easy, and tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Fancy - home made cheesecake with lots of lemon curd on the side. Casual - lamb cake (pound cake) made in Grandma's mold and decorated with icing and lots of candy. Must have a face ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
