Easter is always about children, family, get together and fun. It is about bringing in good will and cheer and gifts and joy. While there are traditions to follow and it remembers the God’s name and prays, there is also a lot of fun stuff that gets done during Easter. The celebration of spirit of Easter day includes making Easter eggs, rabbit cakes and special deserts and decorations. Including the family in getting everything ready makes it even more fun and helps bond and getting closer with one another.
Natural colours
So here is something new to do while getting your Easter eggs coloured. Try using natural dyes to keep it safe and teach the kids to stay away from chemicals as far as possible. Wash the eggs well and dry. Then place in a non metal pan with the dye and add two table spoons of vinegar to a quart of water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for around 15 minutes. If the colour is to your liking take out the eggs and wipe off the excess water and set on a wire rack to dry. If you would like to get darkest colours with homemade Easter recipes then steep it in the dye for longer or until it cools down.
Coffee for brown and berries for lavender
The longer you keep the eggs in the natural dye, the richer the colours will be and then make sure you store it in the refrigerator. Here are some of the natural Easter eggs dyes that you can make out of things at home. For a rich coffee colour use one quart strong coffee and some water to dye the eggs.
Around 4 cups of blueberries steeped in boiling water will give you a beautiful lavender colour while beet juice and the vinegar will give you enchanting shades of pink, perfect celebration of the spirit of Easter day.
Turmeric for yellow eggs
Turmeric powder is a well known natural dye and you can get brilliant yellows while mixing around 3 tablespoons of this magic spice in water. Once you are done with colouring the Easter eggs you can move on to making some delicious Easter desert idea which is a must on the table this beautiful day of celebration.
Bunny cakes made easy
You could try your hand at making lovely little bunny cup cakes with regular vanilla cupcakes. Decorate using flaked coconut and marshmallows and food colouring and M & Ms to get the eyes ears and whiskers done! Take a large marshmallow and squeeze flat and cut into ear shapes and dip in pink colour and use a tooth pick to fix them on to the bunny head!
