For a practical and festive touch, roll your flatware into orange paper napkins and tie each roll-up with a piece of green ribbon. 

They'll perfectly complement these festive carrot cupcakes, which are topped with a cream cheese frosting and orange and green gumdrops. 

Recipe Tip: Can’t find coconut flour? Worry-free solution: Just use an extra ⅓ cup of all-purpose flour!

Welcome kids to the table with toy animals dressed up as the Easter Bunny. To make, cut ear shapes from stiff white felt and smaller ones from pink felt. Hot-glue the pink ears to the white; then glue the felt pieces to the toy’s own ears. Finish with a pink pom-pom nose.
