Happy Easter dear Cat ... Thanks. We had a jolly day yesterday when my hubby waded through 6 inches of newly fallen snow to position my potted lily in a snowbank for the photo shoot. (Bless him, he's my biggest fan!) I have been making the bunny cake for eons ... for my own children and now my grandchildren (it's all about tradition, you know)
