Easter deserts and Easter craft ideas

For many Australians, Easter is a time for family, friends and food.

With last year’s Easter holiday not being able to be celebrated by many due to the nationwide lockdown, the team behind Australia’s only smiling eggs are helping make the Easter Egg special this year with recipes and crafts that will put smiles on your plate and a smile on your face.

As part of her mission to make everyone feel good inside and out, Sunny Queen will also be donating hundreds of her beloved eggs to Foodbank Queensland.
