04.07 Let’s do desserts: Easter bunnies & eggs

Let’s do desserts is a monthly blog featuring where and with what to silence your sweet tooth.

Why bunnies, why eggs? The Easter Bunny was introduced to the United States by the German settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country during the 18th century. And eggs are widely used as a symbol of the start of new life, just as new life emerges from an egg when the chick hatches out, celebrating Spring.
