Get the most out of your Easter centrepiece this year by making it edible. Nature is the perfect theme as we embrace the start of spring: think flowers, gardens and baby animals.

Bird nest cake

Another Easter treat that’s simply too cute to stay out of sight is the bird nest cake. If you’re feeling ambitious create your own fondant bird — or a whole family of them to share the nest.

Bunny terrarium

Terrariums are having a moment as one of the most stylish table centrepieces for 2015 so why not give one a seasonal twist this Easter? For an edible terrarium all you need are cookie crumbles for soil, edible grass, ice cream cones for nests and edible eggs and bunnies.

Tulips and Easter candy

If you like real flowers on your Easter table, fill a large container with your favourite spring blooms and place this inside a vase lined with whatever sweet treats take your fancy.

Bunny carrot cake

A basic carrot cake can be turned into a cute Easter centrepiece with the addition of a vegetable patch and an exploring bunny — all completely edible, of course.

Bunny fruit platter

Easter treats can be healthy too. If you’re needing a break from all the chocolate and icing going around, give your centrepiece real nutritional value with a bunny head fruit platter. It’s colourful and cute — the only problem will be keeping hungry hands away from it.

Spring chicks

The next best thing to having real spring chicks at your Easter celebrations is to make your own. Pop your marshmallow creations in a basket in the centre of the table and enjoy them when the meal is over.
