All of the recipes look delicious. I never thought of baking anything with Cadbury eggs on it before. The one I think I’d like to try the most is the Mini Lemon Spring Bundt Cakes. I’m here from the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop.
I am going to think about the cheesecake and the carrot cupcakes drizzled in caramel all day! Thanks for sharing all of them with the Thursday Blog Hop!
Oh, how to decide! I want one of every one of them! We are doing it this Sunday as some will be out of town! Kids would love the dirt cups and adults would love the cheesecake! Super yum!
Everything looks incredible! I’m drooling right now. Pinned and tweeted. We are so thrilled to have you at our party. Please stop by on Monday at 7, so we can see your amazing projects. Lou Lou Girls
