Poll: Does your spring holiday table have decorative foods?

[LuvOrlando]

For us we have Easter, but there is also Passover, Ramadan and other celebrations I don't even know about, including maybe that some people just like the fact it is getting nice out.

Yesterday, I got caught up looking at all the cute ways to serve fruits, veggies, appetizers & even sandwiches which could be appetizers. So I did what ya do & ordered a bunch of googley eye candy, some black sprinkles & black icing to use for the eyes because there is no way this lady can craft an eye out of an olive for a little critter and not cut myself.

I have never made cute stuff before but think I might start because, really, why not, and was wondering what other people might put on their tables?

If so what do you make? Photos or links

For me current frontrunners:

Based on your examples in the pictures, the answer is no, but I’d never say never. Those whimsical dishes look to me like they’re aimed to appeal to children and we don’t have any, anymore, in our immediate circle. I do put on a very attractive festive feast for Easter when we’re hosting and I’d be willing to throw something like that together for the right crowd. I do know how to cut a large marshmallow into a bunny with scissors and rely heavily on the use of Peeps for decorating desserts.

I've done whimsical, but not for spring.

Usually Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas

Not really. If we see an Easter bunny butter sculpture, we'll get one of those(they have turkey sculptures at Thanksgiving.) DW will make some sort of lamb or bunny cake with the DGDs.

I envy y’all your festive butter sculptures...such wonders are simply not available here. I do blame @RedAngie for ever introducing the concept of butter lambs to my consciousness. I was actually a pretty content person before I knew they existed.

Not sure what a spring holiday table is...

We don't entertain people in our home, really. We like our privacy.

My SIL usually makes some sort of spring themed dessert...I do not.
I saw these deviled eggs once that looked like little chicks..I don't think I would have ever been able to eat one lol

We usually buy the bunny shaped butter and DD has a bunny shaped cake pan for making dessert.

Not really. We let the three-year-old dye eggs for Easter to put on the table in a basket, but he likes to dip each egg multiple times in every color so they come out looking like gray rocks. Not exactly festive.

I suppose whimsy is my scene. We have no little kids but I still put out some bright foam Easter Eggs in the planters & cover the house with whimsical collections of bright flowers, so I suppose I invite touches of Disney inside 24/7. Meals were wholesome but def not decorative & I think this cute stuff would have been wasted on my kids anyway. All they needed was a Fruit Rollup tattoo or a bag of chips and I was a rock star.

I'm afraid it's too late, the google eyes are on the way and so exhibition of the nerd out segment of my personality will commence shortly

Just too stinkin' cute for me to not do this, I see celery, dip, mini tomatoes & cucumber.

Normally my wife tries to avoid fixing foods associated with specific holidays, on those holidays.
She did buy corned beef a few weeks ago, but we didn't have it for St. Patrick's Day, it was on sale and we had it a couple of weeks before St. Patrick's Day.

Hmmm, why avoid? I tend to be all in on such things & enjoy being swept up, which is the only possible sane explanation for seeing the Hoop Dee Doo more than once.

I made this cake for Easter for several years, when the kids were young. I put shredded coconut on the white frosting to make the bunny furry, LOL. We also used to make Jello eggs.

My wife hates being a lemming.

Sounds like fun, well, good luck with that.

I am not that into cooking and baking, it's a chore, I would not add extra work to it making cutesy stuff. Besides, it is mostly just me & DH, and he doesn't care. We don't do much entertaining. Perhaps when grandson is old enough to notice, but probably not.

Not trend setters for sure.
When our friends in the 1980's were buying Volvos and BMWs, we bought a Mercury.
Now that people are cutting the cord and streaming, we are dropping the streaming.
