Easter Dessert Ideas
Easter is one of my most favorite holidays. I love all the colors and that it’s really close to my birthday. Every few years my birthday aligns on the same weekend as Easter. It’s something that I look forward to.
Dessert ideas is something I feel like is in abundance during this holiday and it’s always so fun making them.

I’ve been making my homemade vanilla buttercream frosting for years and it’s really easy. You can use it on cakes and I really like it on cookies.
Of course these cupcakes needed a pop of color as well so I found some pastel sprinkles in my sprinkles bucket. Yes, I have a whole bucket full of all different sorts of sprinkles!
These cupcakes would also be so adorable nestled in some real Easter grass. I have got a full tutorial on How To Grow Grass Inside For Decor and it only takes a week for it to grow. I’ve been collecting pots, glasses and cups over the years to make a colorful spring display.
