The Easter Bunny came to Sweet Nothings

HI, EVERYONE...

Well, Easter is upon us...
Isn't it wonderful to celebrate our Heavenly Father...not only at THIS time of year...
but ALL THE TIME.

I wanted to make some awesome CUPCAKES

but all my cake stands and domes are packed and at the new house.

hmmm....let's see what I can do with what I DO have at this olden house.

I've had this glass footed bowl for at least 30 years.....VINTAGE, for sure.

The glass cake plate belonged to my mother and I can remember her serving her cakes

on it as far back as the '60's.......yep....VINTAGE, for sure.

 ....and, I've been taught by you smart bloggers that I can do THIS 

with these two pieces of VINTAGE glass.
and make a cute-as-can-be CAKE STAND...
Yipee...this is sooo cool.

(it occurred to me that the bowl might look great, turned upside down so the large part
of the bowl would be on the bottom...
however, the plate wanted to slip and slide on it...
and it fit better on the large part.

I sat the bowl in the middle of this cute EASTER WREATH that I bought

several years ago, after Easter, for mere pennies at Big Lots.

I LOVE how it all looks with the

ORANGE DREAM EASTER CUPCAKES

displayed on the put-together-cake stand.

Do you ever use adorable and colorful GIFT BAGS

as a relaxed, informal centerpiece ???

Am I the only one that does this....especially in the summertime, full of real or faux flowers...?

I am such a sucker for a cute bag and the stores are just FULL of the cutest ones...

I love this stripe...with pinks, oranges, greens and white...it

just GOES with my little tablescape of CUPCAKES...

When I was a child, Christmas was my favorite holiday, just as it is for most kiddos...

EASTER was #2,
for sure.
My mother always made a new dress for me...and I loved hunting the eggs
with lots of cousins.
My little baby brother didn't appear on the scene until I was almost 10..so when he got older, I still had lots of fun, helping him find the eggs. :)

Gosh...don't they make a pretty picture..!!!

Some of you may have realized that it's not necessarily  about the FOOD on my blog...
it's almost ALWAYS about the PICTURES of the food.
Some foods, such as these luscious cupcakes and Easter eggs make awesome photos...
...fruits, powdered sugar, cakes,...all great subjects for photographing.

Other foods.......for instance, soups, stews, meats are not as photogenic...
I have to work REALLY hard to make those pretty and look appetizing.

...the magic of PHOTOSCAPE.
:)

ORANGE CAKE MIX....following instructions on box but adding VANILLA....ALWAYS :)
DUNCAN HINES CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
with their ORANGE DREAM flavoring added...
It wasn't a strong enuf orange FLAVOR so I added
fresh squeezed orange JUICE to it and it was
DELISH !!

HAPPIEST EASTER HOLIDAY...
XOXO, bj
