Enchanted offerings
Create a magical woodland centerpiece by filling a moss-covered basket with fresh flowers and sugared white chocolate rabbits,
or use mismatched eggcups to display miniature eggshell vases and candy dishes. We used small cell packs (four to six plants
per pack) of pansies, violas, and variegated ivy, but any assortment of fresh flowers and foliage will work equally well.
Plus, they can all be planted outdoors after the holiday. Just select a color scheme that will complement your china and table
linens, and then follow the easy directions below.
Sugared Rabbits
Whisk together 2 tablespoons of water and 2 teaspoons of meringue powder until light and foamy. Brush a thin, even layer
over white chocolate rabbits, and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Let dry completely on waxed paper. Tie with bits of colored
ribbon, if desired. Note: Meringue Powder is available at many crafts stores and Wal-Mart stores that carry cake-decorating supplies, or it may be
ordered online from the Wilton Web site. We use it often in dessert recipes such as chilled soufflés or mousses that call
for uncooked egg whites. Made from pasteurized powdered egg whites, it is free of salmonella. After opening, it can be stored
in a cool, dry place for up to two years and used as an egg-white substitute in cakes and candies as well as royal icings
and frostings (2 teaspoons of meringue powder whisked with 2 tablespoons of water equals 1 egg white). Meringue powder also
contains small amounts of cornstarch and cream of tartar that work as stabilizers, creating exceptionally crisp baked meringues
and pie shells. For more information and recipes visit www.wilton.com.
