Ice Cream Pops. Chicken Egg Family. Are you looking for Easter dishes that are easy and fun to make? If yes, then these “newly hatched chicks” made from hard-boiled eggs are perfect for you (along with chicken mommy, of course). You can offer them as a snack or use them to garnish a salad. Or how about an Easter picnic? Simply pack them in the egg carton you bought them in. Safe transportation and a cute way to serve. Easter is approaching soon so it’s about time to present some Easter recipes. I like this chick egg very much because it’s so simple. I’ve encountered the basic idea of this chick egg on lots of bento blogs (or here on Flickr), so its origin remains unclear. How to make a Chicken Family from Hard-Boiled Eggs eggscarrot slicesthin red pepper sliceblack olives or nori (like the seaweed sheets you use for sushi)Boil the eggs. The egg yolk is near the flat end of the egg, so the cut should be nearer to that side. Gently pull and stroke the small part of the egg white.

With a bucket full of fresh cherries and a package of premade pie crust in the fridge, my kids and I had plans to make a batch of Homemade Cherry Poptarts. But, my clever 7-year-old, Alyssa, had an even better idea, “How ’bout we make little poptarts and put them on a stick like Cinderella?”

‘Cinderella’ here isn’t the fairy tale princess, it’s my Alyssa’s favorite blogger (and one of mine)–the delightsome Angie Dudley of Bakerella–creator of the original cupcake pop, and author of the new book Cake Pops . Bakerella’s original idea for a cupcake-on-a-stick was an overnight sensation, landing her a guest spot on the Martha Stewart Show, and a mulitude of other incredible opportunities to collaborate with top-notch companies. It’s no wonder. Bakerella has a remarkable ability to create adorable ideas using everyday items: mini M&M’s, Necco Wafers, colored sprinkles. Her attention to detail is impeccable.

I have been dying to make sushi cupcakes forever. My Japanese sister Yoko spent last week with us... we took her to Elton John and we stuffed a moose with her at Build a Bear Workshop.

Imagine coming all the way from Tokyo to Saskatoon and seeing Elton John! Of all places. We also made sushi out of brownies, angel food cake and assorted candies. Rice bundles of Rice Krispie cake topped with a Swedish fish candy... check out the wasabi. Those funny green candies are actually Japanese sugar crystal candies that our friend Kai sent us. Check it out! Yoko was a genius making the candy sushi. These are The Fan's creation... the cut bits of angel food cake look like rice cakes, don't they?

My favourites! How cool do these look together? Oh, and tonight Loopy and I were the recipients of a random act of kindness, but I can't show you until tomorrow because there wasn't enough daylight to photograph the great surprise we found on our front doorstep!
