These Meringue Nests are an easy and fun Easter bake that will be enjoyed by everyone. If you don't have much time to bake but want to make a delicious treat, these meringue nests are perfect not only for Easter but anytime.  You can add fresh berries instead of Easter eggs.  As for the filling there are so many to chose from.  You can add the classic whipped cream, chocolate ganache, buttercream or my favourite, lemon curd.

Carrot Cake

I'm excited to be taking part in a fun Easter collaboration with many talented bakers over on Instagram. For this bake, you had to either incorporate carrots into your bake, such as in a cake, cookies or cupcakes, or you could include carrots as part of the decoration, along with other Easter themed things such as bunnies or crosses. Be sure to check out the hashtags #eastercollab2019 to see all the baking creations. I decided to bake a Carrot Cake for this collaboration.  This cake was made of three layers of moist cake with a delicious cream cheese frosting in between each layer.  It was then covered with a sweet buttercream frosting and decorated with sprinkles. Do you need a fun and cute cake for Easter?  Why not make this Carrot Cake. You can decorate it anyway you like or just cover it with some frosting and add store brought Easter eggs or decorations.
