Easter is a time for baking, celebrating and expressing gratitude. Now more than ever we have time to think about the things that matter in our life and about what and who to be grateful for.
We baked these Easter Wreaths with our children, while talking about what they are thankful for, filling this moment with love and happiness.

We wish you all a Happy Easter!

- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Place the wreaths on a lined baking sheet. Brush them with milk.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven, leave to cool on a rack.
- Mix the icing sugar, lemon juice and rose water. Spread on top of the wreaths.
- Top with the sugar eggs or pearl sugar, and leave to dry.
