Give cupcakes an Easter upgrade by borrowing a tool from German baking: a springerle mold. With a quick press, you can imprint a bunny design in circles of fondant.
Wooden or plastic baskets filled with goodies are an Easter classic. For an unusual variation on a beloved tradition, transform inexpensive peat pots into beribboned Easter "baskets" to use as favors.
Decorating for a seasonal lunch needn't be elaborate to feel festive. We used vintage eggcups for these place settings, but you could also use teacups. Fill them with wheatgrass (from health-food stores) and lilies-of-the-valley. Add chocolate bunnies and eggs for postmeal nibbling.
Surprisingly versatile, eggcups can be transformed into miniature vases and place-card holders. Use a set of matching cups for a uniform look, or mix and match for an eclectic table setting.
