Easter cakes 2023

[smallhobbit]

SM and I had been debating whether to make Easter cakes this year.  We had just decided to go ahead when I received the following message from The Daughter: I appear to be lacking an Easter cake... Please can you rectify this mistake.

SM sent a general family message saying: To all those concerned.. suggestions of 'forgotten' Easter cakes are misplaced but require patience

The Son duly replied with: It crossed my mind yesterday but I was going to refrain from panicking until tomorrow

And here are the cakes - ours on the left, the others on the right

Splendid. They look delicious. I too am lacking! :)

[smallhobbit]

They do taste good. I'm not sure they'd survive the journey to you!

[debriswoman]

Pretty sure one would make it to my house :-)

[smallhobbit]

Probably - but doesn't your cook make them?

[debriswoman]

Well…obviously:-)

[debriswoman]

Excellent :-) Hope the offspring were suitably grateful:-)

[smallhobbit]

One was, the other will have to wait for the post - we have sent a photo though!

I would like one, too, please. They look delicious!

[smallhobbit]

Sadly, we are not taking orders! We've started ours, and it is delicious.

I have been pining for real Hot Cross Buns and Simnel cake all weekend so these look yummy!

[smallhobbit]

I can definitely recommend them!

[apachefirecat]

Yummy! I can almost taste them! Thanks for sharing! :)

[smallhobbit]

I'm delighted you liked them :)

Do they often happen to have missing cakes? ;)

[smallhobbit]

In her case Christmas, Easter and birthday! She normally gets them after the event as we rarely see her on the day.

[adafrog]

lol Smart girl.

Oh, they look fun! I've not heard of Easter cakes before...

Next year look out for Simnel cakes - there must be some in a local bakery. Ours aren't decorated traditionally, which is 11 marzipan balls, but the principle is the same - fruit cake with a layer of marzipan baked in the middle and another on the top.

They do look very tasty indeed. And very pretty decorations to boot ^___^

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I'm not sure how long ours will last.

So...I'm only about one week late... *g*

The Easter cakes look delicious. I love the decorations! Is that marzipan on the top?

My family had frozen cheesecake as an Easter dessert. Well...the cheesecake was obviously defrosted, but...never mind. It was yummy too.

[smallhobbit]

Frozen cheesecake sounds good!

The cake is delicious (we're still eating ours) and yes it is marzipan on top. There's also a layer of marzipan baked in the middle.
