I'm probably the only person who made gingerbread bunnies for Easter~ My grandson loves my gingerbread cookies and so do I. There is nothing like a plain gingerbread cookie with tea in the afternoon. Here is my recipe for gingerbread
if you'd like to make some Easter gingerbread bunnies. I frosted some
of the bunnies but they were not photo-worthy! We like our gingerbread
plain anyway.
Can you spy the 3 bunnies in the planter looking over the violet? I bought the bunny planter last Easter and I am delighted to have kept the African Violet alive for one year and to have it bloom again in time for this Easter.
Easter wasn't my only reason for making gingerbread cookies. Yesterday, it was my birthday and I wanted to try the new cookie press set that was a gift to me from a a dear friend. I thought the texture of the gingerbread might be perfect for the press and it was. The set came with 3 different Paris landmarks - perfect for springtime in Paris or Milwaukee :)
It was such a fun and memorable birthday with grandson visits, flowers, gifts and birthday wishes. Our youngest grandson had his first birthday less than two weeks before mine. My husband's birthday is next week and my oldest daughters' birthday is a week after that. Spring is a prolific time in our family :)

Love your gingerbread bunnies, I could eat a ginger cookie any time, they are particularly tasty with lemonade!! Happy Easter to you and your family, susan. xo
A belated Happy Birthday to you!
You aren't the only one to make gingerbread bunnies at Easter - I do too! I make small ones and ring them around the edge of a carrot cake that has been iced with cream cheese icing. One year I found little marzipan carrots, and I alternated them with the bunnies around the cake. It was very pretty!
Susan your little bunnies are so cute. I need to do this, since I have a batch of gingerbread dough in my refrigerator from a project I was working on. Great idea and so cute.
My birthday falls on Easter this week - when is your husbands? Happy Easter to you and your family and Happy Birthday to all.
I love gingerbread, your cookies are darling, and I really think that we need to start a campaign to remove the Christmas association from gingerbread so we are free to enjoy them all year.
Oh, Happy Birthday!
Sweet Gingerbread Bunnies! I had a feeling you were a rebel at heart.
Susan, you're surrounded by such handsome men (big and small).
Belated Happy Birthday Wishes to You, and Grandson!
I will eat gingerbread cookies any time of the year! Your little bunnies are so adorable. I love your new cookie press.
And Happy happy Birthday to you, Susan.
Happy birthday to you and all your family members who celebrate their birthdays during this period of time. It is always nice to shake things up a little. who said gingerbread cookies should be kept for Christmas only? I think they are appropriate any time of the year. beautiful bunnies!
Happy Easter and birthdays all around my friend, what a cute delish celebration :)
Cheers

Happy belated birthday. I've been searching all over for that cookie press set and Canada is the only place I can find them. I'd absolutely love to know if they are available here in the Us.
