I faved these a little while ago www.flickr.com/photos/leeanndunton/4393405556/ and they reminded me of little baskets. Which reminded me that I hadn't baked anything for Easter. Which filled my head with ideas. Originally I was going to weave little baskets out of fondant, but the fondant didn't want to behave today. So I'll try it again tomorrow. I will weave my own little Easter basket cupcakes out of marshmallow fondant!
Side note: I couldn't find Airheads Extreme Sour Belts. I really, really want to play around with those on some cupcakes. I will find them and I will make some fantastic cupcakes out of them, damn it!
It seems like there have been Easter things in the stores for ages. In a little over a week, the holiday will finally be here.
Easter Island (Rapa Nui: Rapa Nui, Spanish: Isla de Pascua) is a Chilean island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle. Easter Island is famous for its 887 extant monumental statues, called moai, created by the early Rapa Nui people. In 1995, UNESCO named Easter Island a World Heritage Site, with much of the island protected within Rapa Nui National Park.
Polynesian people settled on Easter Island in the first millennium CE, and created a thriving culture, as evidenced by the moai and other artifacts. However, human activity, the introduction of the Polynesian rat and overpopulation led to gradual deforestation and extinction of natural resources, which caused the demise of the Rapa Nui civilization. By the time of European arrival in 1722, the island's population had dropped to 2,000–3,000 from a high of approximately 15,000 just a century earlier. Diseases carried by European sailors and Peruvian slave raiding of the 1860s further reduced the Rapa Nui population, down to 111 in 1877.
Easter Island is one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world. The nearest inhabited land (around 50 residents) is Pitcairn Island, 2,075 kilometres (1,289 mi) away; the nearest town with a population over 500 is Rikitea, on the island of Mangareva, 2,606 km (1,619 mi) away; the nearest continental point lies in central Chile, 3,512 kilometres (2,182 mi) away.
Easter Island is a special territory of Chile that was annexed in 1888. Administratively, it belongs to the Valparaíso Region, and, more specifically, it is the only commune of the Province Isla de Pascua. According to the 2012 census, it has about 5,800 residents, of which some 60 percent are descendants of the aboriginal Rapa Nui.
Easter Aquhorthies stone circle is one of the best-preserved examples of a recumbent stone circle (RSC) and one of the few that still have their full complement of stones and the only one that has all its stones still standing without having been re-erected.
The circle has a diameter of 19.5 metres. Eight of the stones are made of pink porphyry, the ninth is made of red jasper. The two tall stones flanking the horizontal stone are made of grey granite and the large resting stone itself is made of red granite.

benziedesign was gracious enough to give me permission to use her Easter design from a couple years ago. They're some of my all-time favorite Easter cookies, and I knew they'd be perfect to send to an on-line friend who is going thru a very difficult time right now. The only real change I made to the design was to add the border...going for a stained glass look.
We celebrated Easter 2019 with our son, Brian, and his family in Columbus, Ohio.
Granddaughter, Viola, decorating a 'volcano, Easter egg.
This year Easter brunch was a crab cake with scrambled eggs and Hollandaise sauce, a cheese filled croissant pastry, and fresh fruit of pineapple and blueberries. The beverage was a mimosa.
My little sister and I, in dresses our Mom made, smile and show off all the goodies that the Easter bunny brought to us!

"Easter fires are typically bonfires lit before, during, or after Easter Sunday as part of secular and religious celebrations."
Claire heard there are people rising from the dead today. She clearly doesn't know much about Easter.

Easter in Trapani, Sicily and the Easter procession. 20 images of the Easter story are relived by men carrying huge and heavy platforms depicting the scenes. This continues for 24 hours. Each flat is supported by a large wind and percussion band, at the end of the 24 hours the floats are returned to the church from where they started.
