easter treats

If you are looking for a fun dessert to serve at Easter try these "dirt" cupcakes with carrot cookies!  I made chocolate cupcakes and stuffed them into some clear glass terra cotta pots.  I frosted them and then crumbled some more on top to look like dirt.  I made carrot shaped sugar cookies (you could but some at the store) or you can carrots from candy like orange starbursts.  I tied some ribbon around the containers and served them in a basket.    

that's a wrap

 I am having some technical difficulties today.  Our laptop died so I am currently unable to upload any pictures from my camera.  Instead, I thought I would share this darling Peter Rabbit bag that I saw at Barnes and Noble.  If you think the front is cute you should definitely check out the back!  I am going to pick one up for my baby boy and will fill it with some fun things to use as his Easter basket.  I already grabbed some Peter Rabbit baby food that I found at Starbucks and some Annie's Cheddar bunnies to go inside too!  A carrot rattle might be fun too!  For more ideas about what to put in a baby's Easter basket you can check out this post that used another favorite Easter book as the inspiration.  This would also make a darling baby gift!
