WwMd?... this.

Isn't this a beautiful cake? I don't think I'll attempt it this year, or ever, but it still makes me smile. Everything is edible, even the fence and rocks. I've always had a thing for miniatures, and the fact that you can eat them makes it even more appealing.

I have, however, made these fun Easter trees out of willow and wooden eggs I found at Dehner Garten Center, a German garden/pet store in Hanau. I'm sure these simple supplies could be found at any American garden store, or craft store like Joanne's or Hobby Lobby.

Doesn't Martha Kostyra Stewart do the darnedest things?!

I made that cake last year for Easter. It didn't turn out as nice as Martha's but it's not too hard, just a lot of work. I like the willow and wooden egg project.

I've been carrying around those wooden eggs - I'd bought some in Germany at a market once - for years! But I've never gotten around to doing the tree. How lame. But you have reminded me that I should get out my Easter decorations.

Yes, the rocks too! Isn't that great?

Renee - Just wanted you to know that I tried your "Salad is a Meal" salad and your pasta you served for Mia's shower tonight for dinner. That salad is the best I've had in ages. Seriously -- I absolutely LOVE it! And, of course, you already knew -- but I love the pasta too. So good. Thanks for sharing those recipes!

"My professional life has been centered on the home, the well being of the family and everything that these subjects encompass. When I began working in this area more than 25 years ago, the subject of homemaking as it relates to families was largely overlooked, though the interest was clearly broad and the desire for information strong. My colleagues and I soon discovered we were satisfying a deeply felt unmet need."
