Of course, in the midst of this mad social whirl I've been trying to fit in my Easter baking. Here are the cupcakes I made- some for work, some for the Easter egg painting party, and some for Easter dinner today. You can't see it in this picture, but they are in cute festive cupcake papers.
On Good Friday, I of course went to the service at my church, and we also had our annual family Easter egg painting party, this year at my brother's family's place in Halifax. On Saturday morning, a gang of us went to cheer on my brother-in-law's hockey team which was playing their final game of the season. This involved getting up early; the two teams are a bunch of guys who rent the rink every Saturday morning from 6 am to 7 am so they can play, running from the early fall through until spring. This meant that I had to roll out of bed around 5 am to get ready and get to the rink in time for the game... which is why we usually only attend the last one of the season. The two teams play for fun... and for this trophy: It's a rooster standing on a coffee mug, reflecting the early hour at which they play; it was made by one of the guys, who's a welder by trade. Unfortunately my brother-in-law's team lost 5-4, so no rooster trophy for them this year. Of course, in the midst of this mad social whirl I've been trying to fit in my Easter baking. Here are the cupcakes I made- some for work, some for the Easter egg painting party, and some for Easter dinner today. You can't see it in this picture, but they are in cute festive cupcake papers. And of course, these are the hot cross buns I made- without raisins because, as I believe I once related, due to an unfortunate childhood incident the thought of eating raisins makes me nauseous. I also made these pies, one banana cream and one chocolate. I had signed up to bake a ham as well so I did that yesterday, in a pineapple glaze. I also threw together a pasta coleslaw; I'll add the dressing to right before the meal, which we're having in the Valley. It'll be later in the afternoon since we all have our respective church services and then have to travel there, which takes about an hour and a half for most of us. My church is having an Easter sunrise breakfast and service but I'm going to miss that because I and a couple of my sisters have gone to spend Saturday night and Easter morning with our parents at the homestead and will be attending their church's Easter service instead. It's going to be a full and happy day; may your Easter be a blessed one as well.
