Last year I had a minor operation on my left hand just before Easter so I wasn’t able to make and decorate an Easter cake, so this year I had to make up for it by creating something special. I took inspiration from a flower pot cake that I had seen and reused the two bunnies I had kept safe in a box from the Easter cake I made a few years ago. I also tried a new simnel cake recipe that had chocolate in and pistachio marzipan. Click here to see more pics of this colourful cake and try the recipe.

We are away for Easter this year as it’s our Grandma’s 90th Birthday, so I thought I’d make an Easter cake a couple of weeks early for a weekend treat when we had friends staying. I loved the sound of this spiced marmalade bundt cake from the Waitrose newspaper a while ago, so thought I would give it a go. I had planned to make an Easter cake last year, but unfortunately ended up spending Easter in hospital with pneumonia, so this year I really wanted to make something special. Click
