Baking plan, Easter 2025

wiseheartI've decided not to make such a baking extravaganza as before Christmas; but again, I do decide this every year. Still, this year I'll try to keep things a bit down.
So, the list consists the following recipes (so far):
1) Nutella bunnies
2) Coconut lambs
3) Easter eggs with lemon curd filling
4) Nougat-cinnamon balls
5) Toffee-hazelnut balls
6) A different version of these cookies - I'll replace some of the butter with pistachio paste and add yellow colouring to the meringue. With the help of some piping, the cookies will (hopefully) look like little chickens sitting in the grass.
That's the plan so far. Knowing me, one or two other items will turn up during the process, but I'll really really try to hold back.
As for preparation, I bought flour and sugar at Lidl today (6 kg of each), as they were considerably reduced in price - but only as long as they still had some of that particular brand. With that, my requirements are covered. Tomorrow I'll sort out my other baking ingredients to see whether I'll need anything else; I don't think so, but one can never know. I also bought some totally unnecessary chocolate decorations (bunnies, eggs and little hearts) to pretty up my biscuits, just because I couldn't resist. *g*
Other than that, we had choir practice, for which my friend Erica did not come. Bad luck for me (she was supposed to bring me a large bag of toilet rolls for crafting purposes) but she most likely had grandparent duties. Ah, well, I'll do some baking instead.
