Fairy Cakes, Easter Happenings, Giveaway Winner & Other Ramblings

I cant believe how fast easter came and went! Its May already which means my Birthday month :D

Anyway I have just a few things from easter to show you...

Firstly our easter tree this year.

We bought the cutest plastic painted eggs.

I bought a box of pink patterened eggs...


And my mum bought pastel coloured patterened eggs...

Do you make an easter tree?

On easter Sunday we went to Mikey's Families house for lunch, I took some roast veggies, salad and these amazing fairy cakes!

Ive never made these fairy cakes before but they remind me of primary school. I can remember we use to have 'Cupcake Day' where the parents would each make a plate of cupcakes and kids would pay a small amount for a cupcake or two, these were my favourites along with the ones with a little pictured plaque on top.

I used cute easter cupcake pans too...

Pretty much they are a vanilla cupcake with cream and dusted with icing sugar - YUM!

See the plate this cupcake is on? well, its one of four I recently purchased. Im completely in love with these cute cake plates. Two of them have children playing ring-a-rosie around a tree and the others children on a see-saw infront of a tree.

Cute arent they!?

The leaves are falling in our garden as the weather gets cooler. Just a few photos from the garden to show you...

Autumn leaves

Pink orange flowers

Red roses

I've never had fairy cakes before, but they look amazing! Your Easter tree is really cute too. I know a few people who do them, but not many. It's a fun idea though- maybe next year.
