Fill your stomach and soul with joy as you hop into spring! To celebrate Easter and the season famous for renewal, we’re serving up a spread of playful recipe ideas that will help you elevate your next springtime gathering. Come along as we take your tastebuds on an adventure—it’ll be a feast for the eyes as well.
“Veggie Garden” Dip
Can you dig it? First on the menu is our vegetable garden dip, a fun and literal take on the classic veggie dip. This appetizer is filled with personality, and you can customize its flavor to your liking too! Prefer spinach dip? Or is spicy buffalo more your style? Whatever you choose, prepare it in our fan-favorite, oven-safe Blue Bay bakeware for a crowd-pleasing presentation. Once the base dip is ready, top it off with an artful tribute to bountiful harvests! We used pumpernickel crumbs to create a dirt texture, lined up veggies in rows as they would appear in a garden, and added decorative mini rakes to really plant the garden theme deep.
Carrot-Covered Carrot Cake
For fans of tradition who want to try something extra fun this year, transform an everyday, store-bought carrot cake into a bunny-approved artwork with nothing more than decorative icing. Add a fresh layer of buttercream icing and then create sweet-as-can-be carrot shapes with dabs of orange and green icing. (It’s so easy to do this, the kids can help!) Serve up your semi-homemade masterpiece on the elegant French Perle pedestal cake plate, and set out coordinating French Perle bowls alongside elevated gold flatware. This unbeatable classic carrot cake is adorable as it is delish—everybunny would agree.
Deviled Egg Tulip Blossoms
Egg-cite guests with something they’ve never seen before: a savory bouquet of deviled eggs, inspired by the iconic tulip flower. After boiling and peeling eggs as usual, cut an X into the narrow end so you can delicately remove the yolks. Then, fill a decorative piping bag with yolks deviled according to your favorite recipe, and fill each blossom until they bloom! Plate it all up on our picnic-perfect Wicker Creek serving tray and add long-stemmed chives to complete your edible (and unforgettable) bouquet. This is proof that Easter celebrations can be just as delicious as they are fun!
