This little slice looks divine, tastes not too sweet, but somehow takes a little longer in the time department, so set the morning free to spoon and swirl in the kitchen. Just to get it right! Because it’s a little winner…
It’s full of all those ‘yummy’ ingredients,coconut, treacle, butter, chocolate and the decadence of nuts, the macadamia
Follow me for the recipe…
Dear Friends,
I take this opportunity to wish you all a very safe and Happy Easter – Buona Pasqua.
Over the last weeks I’ve been enjoying this lead up to a very special joyous time of the year. Celebrating in many ways both in the kitchen, around the home of my family, from the heart and strengthening my soul.
With this break upon us, I wish you happiness and joy, with your family and friends.
I’ look forward to new beginnings…
Thank you for your time to come and visit and leave comments, I truly appreciate every word…
Wishing you all joyous Easter moments…

With the lead up to Easter…this year’s celebrations for me are a little different. The highs and lows, sadness and happiness all combining to signify how more important it is to live life and to it’s fullest each day. Cherish and take joy in life’s simple little treasures.
My sister decorated her home over the weekend for the celebration of Easter. Eggs, bunnies, olive vines and doves of peace.
This wooden wreath holder, was on sale last week, I couldn’t resist it, and fell in love with it straight away…I’m not sure how I’ll get this in my suitcase…if not I’ll have to leave it behind. Fresh olive branches were used as a symbol of peace. Palm Sunday is being celebrated soon, and often, in Italy we’re given an olive branch.
This Easter Bunny figurine is “Happy Together” designed by Jim Shore – Heartwood Creek, you can see more of his beautiful Easter figurines here. I love the intricate details and beautiful colour palette of his artistic works.
The top right photo is of an antique silver egg warmer, and displays chocolate coloured foiled eggs.
Thinking about home I also looked back on posts that I had done early in two thousand and ten. And as today is Tuesday I usually share the more dainty things around my home.
I love the shape of the teacup saucer and lid of the teapot. All white with a pale grey pink trim. Unknown to me is the make of this tea set, but I love it’s Simplicity.

“Entertaining is a memory business because the pleasures of your hospitality become immortal in the memories of your guests.”
The whimsical setting of our afternoon included feathered friends, Spring nests, Royal Albert teacups and charming chocolate delights filled with fluffy pink mousse.I couldn’t resist pearls, satin ribbons and silver. Antique Easter images and eggs. The afternoon sunlight filtering through the window, and the underlying music , left us under an inspiring cloud capturing the finer things, and forgotten memories.
I made these dainty coconut rough chocolate and mousse eggcups and used the same method in making these as my birds nests here

Easter nest cupcakes have been on my mind for a while now…after reading about them somewhere..(honestly can’t remember), and then finding a recipe on the back of the mini coloured Easter eggs. The recipe used the chocolate bar flake, but I decided to make a coconut rough mixture instead and actually make a nest form.
I had a few ideas for these cupcakes and sort of rolled them all into one.
