Sweet Treats for Easter
March 26, 2015 I'm such a sweet tooth. I could never resist the confections and pastries that are offered around this time of the year. If you're planning an Easter party, these these lovely cakes and candies will bring a smile to each guest:
The Lavender Rose Cake ($59.95) from Williams-Sonoma is a showstopper. Sourced from a family cake boutique in Florida, this stunning centerpiece dessert also comes in shades of pastel blue, pastel green, pink (chocolate cake), yellow (raspberry/lemon) and white (strawberry). Available at www.williams-sonoma.com.
These cute marshmallow Skipper Bunnies ($3.49) from Sweet & Sara are vegan-friendly. Pair it with the Sunny Chick marshie and you've got the most adorable Easter duo. sweetandsara.com.
Recchiuti Confections always has something elegant with a fun twist. This year they're offering the Hopster Bunnies ($20; 8 pcs.) chocolate truffles in the signature burnt caramel flavor. Four hipster rabbit illustrations are featured in their seasonal truffle collection. www.recchiuti.com.
If you're a vegan living in Seattle, you're in luck. Violet Sweet Shoppe offers all kinds of vegan candies and cakes for Easter, so I'd order in advance before they sell out of their fabulous chocolates, caramels, Easter bunnies and cupcakes. Even if you're not vegan, everything is excellent. Trust us — you won't miss the dairy! violetsweetshoppe.com.
Portland-based Quin makes the best candy and their seasonal Gummy Eggs ($8) are a great addition to any Easter basket. They often use local fruit in their gummies and they're available in strawberry, lemon and cherry flavors. quincandy.com.
