Easter Treats

March 25, 2016 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

We’ve been having great fun in the kitchen this Easter!

Chocolate on a stick makes less mess…

easter3

That’s the theory, but no-one explained it to young Evan…

easter9c

My kitchen is littered with dirty bowls and Easter moulds…

easter5

Fancy chocolate shops have expensive polycarbonate moulds and vibrating machines. I have plastic moulds, bulldog clips, and sons who’ve become quite adept at shaking…

easter6

This year’s rocky road is dark chocolate, ginger, cranberries, toasted macadamias and passionfruit marshmallows…

easter7

We’ve baked two dozen sourdough hot cross buns…

easter1

…and three dozen yeasted hot cross buns…

easter8

Monkey Girl took over cross piping duties this year…

easter9

Passionfruit marshmallows – two fresh egg whites and a tin of passionfruit pulp resulted in a mountain of these…

easter4

Big Boy was on hand to help with the clean-up!

Wishing you all a very happy Easter!

    Looks like loads of sugary fun. Happy Easter! xxx


  3. on March 25, 2016 at 5:48 pm Sue

    What a wonderfully happy Easter you are having! How particularly wonderful to have all (sticky) hands on deck for mixing, shaking, tasting and dare I say, washing up????
    The Rocky Road looks delicious! Thank you Celia, and wishing you all a very happy Easter.

    That Rocky Road is marvelous! Ginger, macadamias, cranberries……yum!! Gorgeous little Evan – what a gorgeous face!


  5. on March 25, 2016 at 6:08 pm Gary Lum

    That all looks magnificent. I’ve never thought of or tried passionfruit marshmallows. They must be yummy.


  6. on March 25, 2016 at 6:16 pm Francesca

    Very professional piping monkey girl!


  7. on March 25, 2016 at 6:39 pm niasunset

    So lovely :) Happy Easter to you ALL; Thanks and Love, nia


  8. on March 25, 2016 at 6:46 pm Chica Andaluza

    Amazing! And look at little Evan’s happy face. I do love marshmallow. …time to have a go at making some I think. Wishing you all a very, very Happy Easter Celia xx


  9. on March 25, 2016 at 7:36 pm Rose

    Haha, on first glance I thought that was a huge smear of chocolate on Big Boy’s T-shirt. :)


  10. on March 25, 2016 at 7:48 pm Madison O'Shea

    I used paper clips {stretched} ha! when using moulds for chocolate making in the 80’s
    Celia your Rocky road is to do for Sunday
    You are too awesome :)
    Happy Easter to you and your family x


  11. on March 25, 2016 at 8:04 pm choclette

    Oh, oh, oh, I was enjoying all the chocolate goings on until I saw your passionfruit marshmallows and now I can’t think of anything else.
    Happy Easter to you all.


  12. on March 25, 2016 at 8:05 pm Johanna GGG

    happy easter celia – all your chocolate and baking looks wonderful – I am missing home made hot cross buns this year and would give anything just to smell yours coming out of the oven


  13. on March 25, 2016 at 8:12 pm Amanda

    No one is ever too old or too cool to lick the beater!!!


  14. on March 25, 2016 at 9:43 pm weebluemixer

    All your Easter goodies look fab! Your moulded chocolate looks like expensive ones you’d buy in the shops! Oh Evan is so sweet and looks very happy with himself munching on the chocolate! My hubby is the one who is always on hand to lick the spoons and bowls, he’s a big kid. Happy Easter and remember to hang one of your hot cross buns from your Kitchen ceiling. This is supposed to ward off evil spirits and make sure that your bread rises perfectly for the rest of the year!


  15. on March 25, 2016 at 10:46 pm Laurie Graves

    Easter deliciousness!


  16. on March 25, 2016 at 11:29 pm Joanne Vidal

    Happy Easter, Celia and family. What I wouldn’t give for some of your Rocky Road! Ah, well, guess I will just have to resign myself to watching our friend and handyman install my new kitchen. Then I will try out my Easter ideas.


  17. on March 26, 2016 at 4:24 am Viki

    It all looks so wonderful, happy Easter


  18. on March 26, 2016 at 4:56 am Anne Wheaton

    Can I help clear up please? I’m very good at licking bowls clean. Happy Easter Celia x


  19. on March 26, 2016 at 7:17 am somersetkennels

    I made hot cross buns from your tested recipe yesterday. So delicious, thanks Celia.


  20. on March 26, 2016 at 7:44 am joolzmac

    The hot cross buns look superb! I’m making hot cross buffins later today. Happy Easter!


  21. on March 26, 2016 at 7:47 am Lury Budde

    oh what fun times Happy Easter!


  22. on March 26, 2016 at 8:07 am Queen Bee

    Two things:
    1. I’ll be right over; and
    2. What a little doll.

    Happy Easter


  23. on March 26, 2016 at 8:23 am Debra Kolkka

    Sounds like a great Easter at your place.


  24. on March 26, 2016 at 10:08 am Eha

    Thank you for the warm Easter laugh: I don’t think I have to wish you anything – you have it all! Admittedly I am still going ‘eeny, meeny, many moe’ about whether I like a grownup son licking a spoon or young Evan wondering what the fuss is all about . . . methinks I’ll ‘tick’ the first :) ! Have a wonderful few days more . . .


  25. on March 26, 2016 at 10:31 am Gretchen

    Ah, chocolate is always messy for the young ones! What a cute delicious chocolate face it is. Someday I’ll be as good as you and make homemade chocolates for Easter. Tonight it is chocolates from a fancy shoo for dessert with red wine as I’m too lazy and/or busy to make my own!


  26. on March 26, 2016 at 11:27 am Susan

    What a blast! Happy Easter.


  27. on March 26, 2016 at 11:31 am corneliaweberphotography

    Happy Easter, Celia, your easter goodies are just mouth watering.


  28. on March 26, 2016 at 2:33 pm Debra

    You know how to prepare for Easter! Do people line up at your door? :-) Happy Easter to you, Celia. I don’t think there’s much doubt it will be! Delicious, for sure!


  29. on March 26, 2016 at 10:06 pm My Kitchen Stories

    Oh wow you really made some beauties … as usual. I have to say your boy is looking very grown up and if it’s not too creepy….handsome !


  30. on March 26, 2016 at 10:21 pm Becky Ellis

    Your hot cross buns look heavenly…Happy Easter!


  31. on March 26, 2016 at 10:44 pm fergie51

    As always, you make me smile! Although I am not a chocolate lover, I do love the togetherness it brings. I thought for a minute ‘big boy’ had chockie on his shirt but no, just the design. I love seeing Evan doing an almost flash back pose of Big boy! Happy Easter. Golly, those buns look sooooooo delicious.


  32. on March 27, 2016 at 11:56 am Sue Marquis Bishop

    Happy Easter Celia. Yours is a happy kitchen with Photos to prove it! Womenlivinglifeafter50.com


  33. on March 27, 2016 at 4:26 pm nouveauchapeau

    And a happy Easter to you and your family Celia!


  34. on March 28, 2016 at 8:20 am Manuela

    Happy Easter!
    Lovely treats in your kitchen. I made hot cross buns as well this year. One is never too old to lick beaters or bowls! Love the picture! 👍


  35. on March 28, 2016 at 9:50 am Jan

    How lovely – little chocolate smooshy face – and big boy has your dimples!


  36. on March 28, 2016 at 6:11 pm Paul Zeidan

    happy easter Celia to you and your family. we’ve had a busy one with family as well


  37. on March 28, 2016 at 7:47 pm themateriallady

    All looking wonderful. Big boy would have had competition for that beater had I been there. I need to bake another batch of your sourdough hot cross buns – the others seem to have gone!


  38. on March 29, 2016 at 2:30 am heidiannie

    Your kitchen always looks like a baker’s dream! And with your lovely children and visitors it is a true haven of goodness. Thanks for sharing- your post has warmed my heart (and the cockles thereof!).


  39. on March 29, 2016 at 1:29 pm tiffinbitesized

    I love a good marshmallow but the ginger in the rocky road is what has won me over! xxx


  40. on March 29, 2016 at 2:01 pm ChgoJohn

    I do so love coming around here during holidays, Celia, just to see what treats you’ll be sharing. I must admit, the chocolate covered Little One was a bit of a surprise, though a delightful one, as was the sight of Big Boy.
    I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Easter together.


  41. on March 29, 2016 at 8:35 pm Jane @ Shady Baker

    SO MUCH Easter goodness I don’t know where to begin. I love your work Celia, and family x


  42. on March 30, 2016 at 4:40 pm The Pea & The Spoon

    This is just a photo of happiness!


  43. on March 31, 2016 at 6:29 am Liz @ spades, spatulas, and spoons

    It looks like everyone had a lot of fun…sticky and delicious fun!
