I just did and it was gorgeous. My daughter made it straight away and I had my portion warm with a little, ok alot, of cornish ice cream...... delicious for a super quick chocolate fix

Looks yummy - what's cake flour though?

Love those bunny peeps!

Was thinking about Easter nest in a jar. Layer up some crumbled up shredded wheat, add a disk of cello or circle of greaseproof paper, add some milk choc squares, another disk of cello, then add some mini eggs. Tie the recipe to the lid of the jar.

Melt choc, add shredded wheat, spoon onto a baking sheet , plate etc and shape into a little nest, carefully transfer to a pretty cake case and add mini eggs to the top.

I hope that makes sense- I would use the disk of cello to stop the layers running into each other as they need to be seperate for the recipe.

Also there's stocking patterns, lovely snowman, ghosts, rainbow babies and teatime treats too.

Those rainbow babies are fab!

I love this idea. I know a lot of people that would love to receive one of these.

My daughter used self raising. Beware everyone as this cake really does rise. Suggest you put the mug on a plate in the microwave as a plate will be easier to clean up afterwards.

I am now looking for a pattern to knit easter bunny slippers for my grandbabies. I would love a felted slipper pattern and obviously free is best, if anyone knows of a link to such a pattern please let me know. Fiber Trends do one but I am loathe to have to pay for one just for a pair of slippers.
