Spring Has Sprung!

And fresh on its heels are the soft colors of Easter, the warmth of sunny afternoons, and the irresistible craving for sweet, light desserts. (Hey, I look for any excuse I can find to bake desserts, and springtime is perfect!)

I don't know about you, but I particularly love spring, especially here in Texas. I'm in love with the wildflowers (Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes) that grow up along the edges of the highways. And that lovely spring breeze? It's luscious!

Our family gets together every spring for a family reunion just before Easter and it's always a personal challenge, coming up with something fun to bake. (I love to challenge myself, trust me!) Sometimes I bake cakes. Or cupcakes. Or hand-painted cookies. I've even taken undecorated cookies to our event, along with royal icing, so that the kids can paint cookies with me. We always have such a great time.

What about you?

Do you like to try new things during the holidays? Is Easter one of those times of year when you challenge yourself?
