Easter is right around the corner, and holidays are such a great time for giveaways that I can’t resist doing one with an Easter theme to it. I’m giving away Wilton’s 3D Bunny Cake Pan and a set of oh-so-cute jellybean potholders. To win, simply leave a comment that mentions your favorite Easter dish (or other spring holiday dish if you don’t celebrate Easter) below! A winner will be selected randomly from the comments below and entries will close at 12 noon (PST) on Friday, March 26th. This leaves plenty of time for the pan to arrive before Easter so you can use it next weekend! Be sure to leave your e-mail address in the comment form (not in your comment) so that I can contact the winner for a mailing address.
There is a little bit of small print with this prize and that is the fact that this pan is not brand new and has been used by me a few times to test it out and bake up an Easter bunny cake. A post about the bunny cake will be coming up in the next day or two and you can double your chances of winning by looking out for that post and commenting on it, too. The cake pan will be all cleaned up and back in it’s box for mailing, ready to use when it arrives at your door.
And as for my favorite Easter dish? It’s hard to choose just one thing, but if pressed I’d have to say that deviled eggs are near the top of the list, followed by Peeps Cupcakes, which are a current favorite. Peep S’mores are very tasty, too, but I’d be hard pressed to call them an actual dish!
Update: The contest is now closed! Thanks for playing everyone. I can’t wait for Easter with all these great food ideas!

March 24, 2010I have no idea why, but growing up one of our Easter traditions was to have a huge, sugary breakfast. We didn’t just limit ourselves to various Easter egg-shaped cakes and lamb cakes. We also stocked up on fresh croissants filled with chocolate. Now that I’ve moved away from my hometown I miss those the most.

Deirdre
March 24, 2010Reeses peanut butter eggs (for some reason they taste much more delish in egg-form) … and OF COURSE Brach’s Classic jelly beans.. two things that remind me of childhood.
Kristi
March 24, 2010I think my favorite Easter dish is eat egg salad. I so rarely make hardboiled eggs (for some reason, I’ve never quite gotten the knack of getting them done enough and not overdone, and the rest of the family won’t touch them except with a paintbrush). I eat egg salad sandwiches for lunch once a year, for 3 or 4 days after Easter to use up the hard-boiled eggs (no, we don’t hide the real ones–they get decorated and put back in the fridge and Mr. Bunny hides the plastic kind).
Samm

March 24, 2010*Adult*: My favorite Easter dish is simply roasted asparagus with olive oil & fresh lemon & a touch of kosher salt and my father’s sweet potato rolls.
*As a child*: My grandmother’s homemade (giant) peanut butter eggs. my parents would only let us have a small slice per day, so the eggs lasted well after Easter Sunday 🙂
Natalie S.
March 24, 2010I have to go with the Easter ham, mainly because we only have it once a year, twice if we’re lucky! Time just flies and we never have time to cook one properly otherwise. 🙂
