Easter Egg Macarons for #PamK

After my faith in my macaron arts had been restored with the Heart Macarons, I had the idea to bake Easter egg macarons for #PamK. The motto was actually "childhood memories", but my exchange partner lives in a place called "Osterhofen" and together with the date of the exchange, I absolutely had to bake one Easter-themed item! Macarons without food coloring are eggshell colored anyway and colored sugar beads had already worked well on the Snowman Macarons. This time, I were folded the batter probably not quite long enough, the macarons weren't entirely smooth on the surface ... but better like that than if they break during baking!

Easter Wreath

This easter wreath with nut or almond filling and easter eggs is always part of the classical easter baking mania at our house.

I use a quark (cream cheese) oil dough instead of a yeast dough, the recipe was one for "Nussschnecken" (spiral shaped nut pastries), which I got a long time ago from my first boyfriend's mom. Thanks Gaby!

Easter Sheep

Every Easter, my family becomes a bit baking crazed - there are such great things that you can bake! Several years ago, we added the Easter sheep to the tradition. Ususally, Easter is all about lambs, but this one looks more like a fully grown sheep with a LOT of wool! This year, I made two smaller sheep from spelt flour with one third whole grain flour. Thanks to it's modular construction you can divide it into small chunks at eat it in small bites ;-) 

Coloring Easter Eggs with Leaves

For several years now, we color some of our easter eggs with leaves from the garden. It's amazing what kind of nicely shaped leaves you can find if you look closely!
Apart from eggs and egg coloring, you only need nicely shaped leaves and parts of old stockings, which are used to fix the leaves on the eggs.
It's rather fast and very pretty, isn't it?

Bunny Bread

As soon as I posted my first easter bunny bread here, I found a much cuter bunny bread here. This one cannot be made with sour dough, only with yeast dough...and I found the recipe not very reliable, I had to use much more flour than was specified. 
Still, this one turned out cuter than my first try, right?

Easter Bread in Bunny Shape

Since bread is a lot healthier than the traditional yeast dough easter bakings, I wanted to try and bake a bread in easter bunny form. I used the dough from "Sourdough bread Rudi", which is rather soft, but it did work out okay...right?
