I love the Easter season! I love the focus on the love that took Jesus to the cross on Good Friday. I love even more the celebration of His resurrection on Easter Sunday. We will be enjoying that celebration with our oldest son, daughter-in-love, and our oldest grandchildren tomorrow as we gather at church to worship, enjoy the Easter egg hunt, and then have dinner together.<\/p>\n

This afternoon, the grand-kiddos and I prepared the dessert for tomorrow’s dinner. My oldest granddaughter had helped me “pin” ideas for Easter.\u00a0 We chose to make the Easter Dirt Cake<\/a>. (Click on the link for the video directions.) It almost looks like the Pinterest picture. Most important is that we had great fun making it.<\/p>\n

I baked the cake this morning before they came over so it would be cooled and ready to frost. I used a “Funfetti” cake mix to go along with the colorful Easter decorations.<\/p>\n

\"nora-making-carrots\"<\/p>\n

Nora turned the strawberries into carrots with melted orange candy melts. She dipped them and then used a small Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off to make the lines carrots normally have.<\/p>\n

\"ronan-making-dirt\"<\/p>\n

We gave Ronan a large Ziploc bag of chocolate filled Oreo cookies and a big spatula. We turned him loose to smash them into “dirt.”<\/p>\n

\"ilona-frosting-cake\"<\/p>\n

While her siblings were busy, Ilona helped me make the frosting and spread it on the cake.<\/p>\n

\"ronan-adding-dirt-to-cake\"<\/p>\n

Ronan added his “dirt” to the top of the cake. He had to sample some to make sure it was good to eat.<\/p>\n

\"ilona-ronan-making-grass\"<\/p>\n

Then\u00a0he and Ilona \u00a0turned the coconut into green grass.<\/p>\n

\"nora-adds-carrots-to-cake\"<\/p>\n

Nora added her “carrots” to the cake with some help from me and Ilona.<\/p>\n

The girls spread the “grass” around the carrots to hide the frosting that wasn’t covered by “dirt.”<\/p>\n

It may not be Pinterest perfect but we had fun. It’s a cute cake and will be delicious tomorrow.<\/p>\n

I pray that you have a wonderful Easter celebrating the resurrection of the Lord surrounded by friends and family. He is risen!<\/p>\n

Blessed to share my heart for home,<\/p>\n
