Jennifer Sheahan: Easter decorations you can eat

The 2021 Home of the Year winner shares recipes for treats that look as good as they taste

Easter is my favourite holiday. I still love Christmas, but hear me out; all the chocolate you can eat, no battling crowds to panic-buy presents, a huge Sunday roast with delicious lamb, and no expectations that you have to traipse around visiting people. It’s the perfect weekend. There’s also no pressure to decorate, although you can if you want, and I usually do. 

My approach to Easter decor is similar to my approach to Christmas; I prefer consumable decorations that I don’t have to store, which in reality means I buy some pastel-coloured flowers, dot little chocolate bunnies and eggs around my house, and call it done. Here are some of my favourite ways to decorate, and some simple recipes for making your own Easter goodies.
