It is Easter week and time for Foodie Friday hosted by Michael of Designs by Gollum.Be sure to stop by her blog to check out all of the wonderful food being offered.
It has been dessert week here at the Salmagundi household. My Wednesday morning coffee group met at my house this week, so I had to fix a little something to go with our coffee. I made these Cherry Squares as they are perfect with coffee or ice tea.
Then, tonight we had a potluck dinner at church preceding the Maundy Thursday service. All those with last names beginning with S were to furnish dessert. Originally, I planned to make brownie cupcakes and decorate them with mint frosting and tiny candy-covered chocolate eggs. Well, that certainly didn't work. I had a terrible time getting those little cupcakes out of the pan, and ended up with lots of brownie crumbs. Not to be deterred, I went onto plan B, a brownie crumb trifle. I think I like this better anyway.
I asked my 12-year old granddaughter what she would like for Easter dessert, and she said without hesitation: cake and ice cream, her favorite. She always comes by after school on Thursdays, so we got the cake made and frosted and stuck it into the freezer. On Easter day, she will decorate it with green sugar, edible grass, and those yummy Cadbury candy-covered chocolate eggs.
All done - time to lick the fingers!!
May you all have a glorious Easter with your families!
Christ, the Lord is risen - hallelujah!

It is amazing that Lent is a time when we give up things, however, it seems a time when we eat more! Lovely desserts -- my favorite part of dinner!

I love the little Easter nest on top of the trifle. How did you manage the grass? Coconut?
Your granddaughter is a cutie, and how wonderful to make memories of baking together. All of these deserts look fantastic, but I'm afraid I gained weight just looking at this post! laurie
