Easter Cupcakes by Miami's Cupcakes Nouveau decorated with fondant bunny ears in Vanilla Elegance and Cookies -n- Cream flavors in a mini size.
Candy eggs are a link back to the actual origin of Easter, which was an ancient pagan religion. A woman named Ishtar was worshipped as a goddess and that's where the word Easter and the bunnies and eggs came from. She told people that she descended from heaven in an egg, and her son (who was worshipped as a god) liked rabbits. Also it was a fertility cult (worshipping sex) so the bunnies and eggs were also fertility symbols, since eggs are a result of chickens and roosters mating, and bunnies are known to mate a LOT. There are those who try to give these things a Christian meaning, but they have nothing to do with the resurrection of Christ. The Roman Catholic church blended some pagan beliefs and traditions into their religion around 300 AD, and for a long time Protestants did not participate in these things, but then they were gradually accepted by many Protestants, and of course today a lot of people who don't even consider themselves Christians celebrate Easter, thinking the eggs and bunnies have some kind of spiritual meaning in Christianity
Inspired by talented flickr 'abbietabbie'(Chris) bunny..Happy Easter everyone...

This was taken a few months ago during Easter weekend. The kids went on an egg hunt at church. And because we live in the Pacific Northwest, this is how the egg hunt looks and feels: wet! My youngest toughed it though, gathering as many eggs as his chubby little hands can hold on to.

Any of you who follow Bakerella will be able to instantly recognize that almost nothing about the above photo I can claim as my own. I mean, I did make and photograph these cupcakes, but it's an exact copy from Bakerella.
I've developed a bit of a love-hate relationship with Bakerella... I LOVE that she is so talented, creative and such an amazing photographer. I HATE that she is so talented, creative and such an amazing photographer! OK, so maybe it's more of a LOVE- JEALOUS relationship. And of course I'm using the word "relationship" very loosely, since I've never met her, and she doesn't know I exist.
So anyway, normally when I find a great idea from another baker/sugar artist, I try to adjust the design a bit, and make it at least a little my own. But in this case, I was just having a little fun and wanted to see how close I could get to copying my dear Bakerealla. I think I came pretty close ( www.flickr.com/photos/bakerella/3425042523/ ) Of course hers is still better...
Oh, actually I did add little bows to mine, and I thought they were pretty cute.
These are the mini-mushrooms I've been making for Easter. Each mushroom comes with a 4 inch Easter egg, bunny ears, and bunny pom-pom tail. They are 3.5 inches tall. All of them were made out of Eco-fi felt which is 100% repurposed out of plastic bottles- it's rather amazing feels just like regular wool felt or the other kind.
You can also get them just plain without ears etc if you prefer that :)

Developed and scanned to CD at a local drug store.
This is un edited, direct from the scanning CD.
I like the DOF and bokeh from the lens, the colour tones and grain from the 400ASA film.

The Easter Egg history is to resemble the empty tomb of Jesus because the egg resembles the shape of the stone covering the tomb where Jesus's body lay. The hatching egg resembles when Jesus rose from the grave; death.

John 20:24-29: Now Thomas, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe." And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!" Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing." And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have seen and yet believed."
