Easter 2016, plus Hilda

I was tasked with the cake making, so I made Vintage Cakes‘s Daffodil Cake.  It’s a marbled chiffon/angel food cake with lime zest and a lime glaze.IMG_5148

My “Easter bunny” gift this year was asparagus. IMG_5149

A friend posted a retrospective of Hilda illustrations  (article also here) on Facebook and I excitedly told her about the the one that had been hanging in my grandparents’-now-aunt’s house since before I was born.  And here it is!  I’ve always loved this illustration.  And in the second link above, there is a different version of this with a washcloth over her nipples.  I’d always wondered where her nipples had gotten to.IMG_5150

Back to Easter.  The table is full of delicious treats.

  1. Your table set up is so lovely. And the food looks excellent, as always. How was the cake? Angel food cake isn’t a favorite of mine but I’m intrigued by the lime glaze. Nice illustration!
