The Sweetest Things at Easter: A Designer’s Guide to Festive Decor and Delicious Food
When it comes to Easter celebrations, interior designer Gachot knows that the sweetest things are quite literally the sweets themselves. “Let’s be honest, that’s the best part,” she says with a laugh. Gachot fills vintage silver bowls and pails to the brim with mini pastel Cadbury eggs, creating a charming and whimsical display throughout her home. But it’s not just about the candy – Gachot also adds a touch of humor with a really large chocolate Easter Bunny as a festive accent that is sure to get people talking.
But the food used as decor is just the beginning. Gachot goes all out with her annual late Easter lunch, serving up a delicious spread of strawberry guava cake, blackberry cream cake, focaccia, and even caviar potato chips. It’s a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, with each dish carefully curated to delight her guests. “My family tends to sleep in at this point,” she says, hinting at the indulgent and leisurely nature of the meal.
