Marisa: Oh no! Did you butter/flour the pan and line with (buttered-and-floured) parchment? Mine came right out.

Cute picture! I made the carrot cake for Easter and it was delicious. I couldn’t get it out of the pan though without having it fall apart. Oh well, I just left it in there and the yummy frosting made up for its looks. Thanks!

I’ve made that pork and those potatoes. Good stuff. And I have never forgotten your strata either. I still need to try it.

You’re adorable! I had an Easter bonnet too. My sister and I had matching dresses and bonnets actually. Haha. Good times.

This Easter menu got me thinking about my own. Thanks for the inspiration. I think I’ll make a roast pork (something without fennel, sorry!), a blue cheese potato gratin, and key lime pie. I’ll ask other family members to contribute a vegetable and salad. It should be a good family dinner.

Oh, how lovely those shoes are! I do believe I had a similar pair, with eyelet-lace style cutouts around the edge. And I do believe my mother made me wear knee socks with them.

Your menu looks fantastic, a lovely balance of the familiar with the modern – and wholly delicious.

Okay, so for just a few seconds when I started to read this post I really thought you were talking in the present tense . . . about wearing white patent leather mary janes . . . as an adult. Phew. Close one. Glad to know it was nostalgia. Good stuff! And the food . . . oh, my. Love it, love it all!

Wow, Kristin – what a great blog – incredible photos – the ones you take yourself and the archive. What a cutie. I am inspired to make an Easter feast through this blog – with eggs and cakes. Do you do ham? We do a Filipino ham that’s marinated in pineapple juice for a day, then baked and cooled and covered with a brown sugar/clove/mustard glaze.

i’ve been an avid reader of your blog for quite a while, and i must say i find both your prose and photographs truly amazing. i love the menu series you’ve started, and you somehow seem to know exactly what i need whenever i check my reader for your updates. such as today – in my quest for a spring pot-luck dessert, your carrot cake looks perfect.

thank you for all the inspiring posts!

Your single-layer carrot cake (with that gorgeous billowy frosting!) was already on my menu! Easter can’t get here fast enough… I’ve been waiting to make that ever since you first posted it! And, I might just twirl around like a little girl after eating it! (adorable picture, btw!)
