Carrot Garden and Abstract Bunny Easter GF Cupcakes

Wrapping up my Easter Baking for 2026, I decided to make these two variations on Gluten Free cupcakes. OK, technically it is only one flavor of cupcake (chocolate) but then decorated with two variations of GF frosting and decorations (that are also gluten free and I got them off Etsy). You could also make these “regular” by just swapping out the GF flour with the King Arthur AP Flour. I have found their “measure to measure” GF flour is a pretty great match for my recipes. They are cute and delicious it wrapped up this year’s Easter eating nicely. :

“Surprise Inside” Pound Cake

Thought I would make this little “surprise inside” flower cake to urge on the flowers to bloom here soon in greater Boston. It’s a bit of work as you essentially have to bake two cakes in sequence, but it’s fun and a nice surprise.

Apricot Chocolate Hot Cross Buns

Happy Easter Weekend! I’ve got company this weekend (my mum is visiting!) which makes finding time for posting a little more complicated, but here are some delicious Apricot Chocolate Hot Cross Buns. Every year, I try to do something a little different with them, so this year, they were apricot and mini-chocolate chips, but add in your mix-ins of choice (cranberries, nuts, raisins, etc). I made them yesterday for Good Friday.

Spiced Blueberry Pie

It’s Pie Day here in the US. March 14. 3.14 Of course, the rest of the world dates differently (i.e. dd/mm/yyyy or YYYY/dd/mm) but playing into the game, I decided to make this Pie for Pi day. Delicious and pretty, though be careful with overdoing it on the orange zest.

Pie comes with a hidden message. Doesn’t everyone need an emotional support pie plate?

Toasted Coconut Double Chocolate Brownies

Yep, it’s blowing a gale outside but inside, it’s warm, cozy and smells like the most decadent chocolate and tropical coconut ever. I’m happy that the small lingers because I actually made these Toasted Coconut Double Chocolate Brownies before work this morning because frankly, I thought we’d lose power and internet this afternoon, but so far, we’re doing ok. There is a LOT (a lot, a lot) of snow falling, but that is ok. Digging out my car tomorrow won’t be much fun, but that’s what living in New England is all about.
