HOW TO HAVE A CRACKING EASTER
Get set for a weekend of fun with a delicious feast, great gift idea and seasonal decorations with our delightful Easter ideas
Decorate your table with flair
Nod to the arrival of spring when decorating your home to host guests for Easter. Cover your Easter table with a scalloped-edge cotton tablecloth and use colourful ceramic plates, delicate glassware and seagrass place mats. Place a folded or rolled napkin on the plates. You can use Easter-themed napkin rings including this adorable set featuring bunny ears or create your own out of festive ribbon. Don’t forget ridged dinner candles in vibrant shades to add the final flourish.
Indulge budding chefs with homemade Easter treats
Encourage your little chefs to master the art of making perfect cookie dough with Joseph Joseph’s adjustable rolling pin which makes kneading and rolling so much easier and fun. Also, our range of mixing bowls, whisks and spoons will have them whipping up a storm in the kitchen. Don’t forget to use our non-stick baking trays to release your creations neatly. Our range also includes muffin tins and pie dishes, to give you endless possibilities when it comes to creating your own Easter desserts. For the older kids and teens, this is a great opportunity to introduce them to more advanced baking essentials, such as piping bags, pastry brushes, oven gloves and electronic scales to perfect their measurements. Once your creations are ready to be devoured, serve them beautifully on our range of cake stands and dessert plates.
Create an Easter centrepiece
Use an eye-catching ceramic or glass vase to create a rustic centrepiece. Fill with bright seasonal blooms like tulips and daffodils, or hang Easter decorations from blossoming branches for a whimsical Easter focal point. Painted or dyed eggs and homemade paper bunnies are bound to delight guests of all ages. As for colours, pastel shades are ideal, but brighter palettes such as pinks, yellows and greens can also look festive. Remember, decorations do not have to be elaborate to be beautiful. Simple touches, such as hand-painted glass baubles and beaded flowers, can bring joy and to your Easter celebrations.
