Happy Easter and Freebies!

Hope you have a fun and relaxing Easter planned with lots of chocolate bunnies and easter eggs! I usually try to make French Toast Casserole for brunch at Easter. I got the recipe from Paula Deen and it is delicious! Well worth the overload of sugar and extra calories, isn’t that what Holidays are for? 🙂 If you are looking for other recipes, I have a bunch of good ones posted to our Pinterest page, check them out here. Also, here are some free tags to download and decorate goodie bags or gifts with and also free coloring pages to keep your kids busy! Just print out on plain paper or cover stock and you are set.

What’s New Wednesday

We’ve been busy here at Simon+Kabuki designing for next year. We are always a year or more ahead of the game. The licensing/manufacturing route takes a really long time. After we submit designs we usually don’t hear back for several months. If a design or collection is chosen it can take an additional 6 months to a year to see any product. We must be very patient, not easy for us Silicon Valley girls where everything happens at the speed of light! Our corporate design business, E and I Design, gives us the instant gratification and payday that we crave but it is so much more rewarding to see something you’ve designed at a store that you shop at! Check out our latest greeting card designs for next Valentine’s Day and Easter. Hope they make it into a store near...

favorite etsy finds

Etsy is one of my favorite places to look for unique items. I love ordering birthday or Christmas gifts from Etsy, especially personalized gifts. You just need to make sure you order items with enough time for shipping. There are a lot of fun Easter items right now and if you order them in the next week I am sure they would get to you in time. Below are some of my faves in no particular order. What about you, what are your favorites?

diy: Nesting cupcakes for easter

I definitely don’t consider myself a super fabulous baker– except for my chocolate chip cookie dough, which is better than sex – but I always give it my best effort. Okay, I lied. I often give baking minimal effort because why would I knock myself out when I could make something out of a box and decorate it really extra cute and still get “oohs” and “aahs” from my grateful recipients? These Easter-y egg nest cupcakes are a breeze to make and if you’re an overachiever you could bake everything from scratch, and if you’re way too busy you could buy the cupcakes or muffins already baked and just decorate them and take full credit when people tell you how fabulous they are. I made an awful video to show you how to do the frosting so it looks like a nest.   And don’t forget about the presentation, if you don’t have your own cupcake holder, check out this paper version from Martha Stewart and Target has a cute version too.  ...
