Hey, guys! Don’t mind me here, I’m just passing through.
I’m not partying with you today. I have better and more important things to do!

April Fools!!! 😀 😀 😀
Of course I’ll party with you! Anytime! Nothing is more important!
Although I’ll be going out of town again this weekend. Apparently we didn’t get enough of Lancaster. Yup, we’re going there again!
The daughter has “adopted” this old gal, and she wants to bring her organic carrots and apples.
Plus I need to replenish my Amish cheese bread and corn nuggets. You can never have enough. I really should learn to make them myself. Anyone here has good recipes? I’ll pay $50 for them.
April Fools!! 😀 😀 😀
I’ll pay you with hugs and kisses, instead, how’s that? The virtual kind, lol!
Anyway, let’s party, guys!
First, Features!
Anti Gravity Bird’s Nest Cake from Michelle @ Giraffes Can Bake
“I was left a little speechless by this one. Homemade cream egg filling suspended and dripping from a cracked chocolate egg, are you kidding me? That’s one awesome cake!” — Natalie
“You cannot be serious!! This is ah-mah-zing!! It’s a masterpiece. A five-star blue-ribbon gold-medal masterpiece!” — Angie
Best Crab Deviled Eggs from Quinn @ Dad What’s 4 Dinner
“I can’t resist a good deviled egg, one with lots of devilish goodness and creamy, spicy filling. With the addition of sweet crabmeat these are a fitting dish for any occasion.” — Hilda
“I am positively drooling over these eggs. They look absolutely DELICIOUS!!” Angie
Aubergine Boat from Elaine @ foodbod
“I just love these little boats loaded with tahini sauce, chermoula, nuts and berries, floating on a sea of crisp lettuce. As eye-catching as they are mouth-watering, this is a dish I would be proud to serve to the most discerning of dinner guests, like myself!” — Hilda
Feta and Spinach Biscuits from Antonia @ Zoale
“Whenever feta cheese is combined with spinach, you know it’s got to be good. These flaky, golden biscuits are no exception and look oh so easy to eat.” — Hilda

OMG! That is just the cutest miniature horse. I need one for my garden.
Angie says
This place has 10 of them. And little goats, too. Just so cute! I want to keep one myself ??
Elaine @ foodbod says
Oh wow wow wow! So many wows! Michelle’s cake is absolutely stunning, and I’m so honoured to be featured again ??? thank you xxx and I LOVE that little pony, I can completely understand going back to visit again x
Angie says
It’s a miniature horse, smaller than a pony. They’re not even any taller than your knees! Your aubergine boat is stunning, and the spices sound amazing. I have no idea how you keep coming up with these recipes!
Elaine @ foodbod says
Thank you ??? they just emerge from my brain!!! ?
Angie says
Some brain! You should work for Ottolenghi. I think your recipes are as creative as his!
Elaine @ foodbod says
Oh wow, thank you, that’s an amazing compliment xxxx
Angie says
It’s the truth!
Elaine @ foodbod says
I love you ???
Mandi says
Those devilled eggs have got me feeling some way……YUMMY!
Happy April Fools, hope you had a great Easter, Angie! And Happy Fiesta Friday most importantly 🙂
Angie says
Those eggs have the same effect on me ? I’m a little scared of going to work today. Some people go crazy with pranks, and I haven’t thought of any to retaliate with, help! ??
carolinescookingblog says
How great that you had such a good time you’re heading back – that pony is adorable! There are some miniature Shetland ponies near where my parents live and I always like going to see them (though I use my so as the excuse!). Love the features – I must check I did actually visit as I know I struggled with another few days with hubby away and my eldest suddenly deciding he’s no longer napping – takes away precious blogging time!
Angie says
My kids positively fell in love with all the animals, especially the horses! I admit I rather like them, too. That’s why we don’t mind going back. It’s such a wonderful place! Love the people, too. So friendly. Plus there are a couple of old Victorian and antique stores I want to explore ?
CHCooks says
Hahaha you really got me there.. with your April Fool’s joke 🙂 The cake is absolutely brilliant and so are the other features! Congrats to all and happy FF 🙂
Angie says
Lol! I’m glad you enjoyed the jokes. Now I’ll have to brace myself coming in to work ? Have a great weekend!
Antonia says
Thank you so much for featuring my recipe! You made my day! All of the recipes look great, and Michelle’s cake is mesmerizing! I enjoyed your April Fools’ jokes 😀 Have a wonderful time and that little pony is adorable!
Angie says
Thanks for partying with us, Antonia! Your biscuits look so yum, and amazingly flaky and light! I’m glad you enjoyed the jokes ??
Antonia says
I am so happy to join the party! Thank you for the kind words! 😀
Angie says

Julie is Hostess At Heart says
Angie you are such a jokester! I love that your daughter adopted that little horse!
Angie says
Haha…I can get away with it today ? I think the husband secretly adopted her, too. He’s the first one to suggest bringing carrots and apples to her ?
Julie is Hostess At Heart says
?Love that! ?
Lily says
OMG! That little guy is way too cute. I can see why your daughter has fallen in love with him. Wow, I just want to hug him. Happy FF:)
Angie says
There was a baby, too! And this one is actually a girl, an old girl. They’re all so cute and gentle. I actually can’t wait to go see them again ?
Anna International says
Wow, just wow! Michelle, you are a genius! I have been away from FF for like forever, and it seems in that time you’ve just gone from strength to strength! Congrats on the most tempting easter cake I have ever seen (or will again I suspect!).
Also loving the miniature horse Angie – can you fit it in your handbag to take home? I would try!
I am bringing my Easter biscuit recipe to the part – a week late, but hey, at least I baked! 🙂
Angie says
Where you been, girl?! Happy to have you back! I hope all the home renovations are done, and you can relax and enjoy FF. Looking forward to seeing your Easter biscuit, and I know by that you really mean cookies, right? ? For us, biscuits are more like bread.
tentimestea says
Hah–I was tricked! 😀
I do love your daughter’s “adopted” little horse with a big head of hair. Such character. Enjoy your time in Lancaster!
I’ve really been missing out on FF lately and all those amazing features–that incredible cake, the eggplant, those biscuits! So I’m excited to cohost and catch up a bit with everyone–and meet some bloggers I haven’t encountered yet either 🙂
Angie says
Haha…I enjoy playing a trick particularly on my cohosts! That horse definitely has personality. Just so adorable! We’re excited to go see her again. Thanks for cohosting and have fun! XOXO
Dad Whats 4 Dinner says
I want to go to Lancaster. Thanks for the feature and I hope you enjoy the Amish treats. Happy FF!!!
Angie says
You should go, the food is incredible!! I’m saving that deviled egg recipe. Sounds so good!! Have a great weekend!
eclecticoddsnsods says
oh boy I thought i might have to look at this post with my eyes shut being a chocoholic and al, but it’s not that bad, phew I can relax now, the heart was beginning to race lol….Oh my oh my I just love the little pony…want one…I bet your’e going to look after it too right? x
Angie says
That’s why we’re going back again to see her and this time we’ll bring her lots and lots of apples and carrots! ?
eclecticoddsnsods says
I bet she will love that ?
Liz @ spades, spatulas, and spoons says
Hi Angie, Lancaster sounds like a lovely place to visit. I’ve never been to Amish country. The miniature horse is adorable. Happy April Fool’s Day, love your jokes!
Angie says
Lol, I’m glad you enjoyed the jokes. I don’t think there’s any Amish community in California?? So you’ll have to come to the east coast to visit one, Liz ??
Corina says
I love the aubergine boats you’ve featured! Definitely a great dish to serve at a dinner party to wow the guests!
Angie says
I agree! It’s a very creative recipe. And the results are gorgeous.
Debbie Spivey says
You are full of April Foolin’ Miss Angie! 🙂 Happy Friday!
Angie says
Lol! You should have seen what went on at work today ??
Debbie Spivey says
Oh I can only imagine… ?
Angie says
Hey, Debbie, I just sent you an email.
Debbie Spivey says
Got it. Thank you! Have a great weekend! ?
Michelle @ Giraffes Can Bake says
Haha as if we’d ever believe you wouldn’t wanna party! 😉
Thanks so much for the feature! I’m bringing another crazy cake this week, but I’m back to normal from next week – promise!!
That horse is so cute, and I’m saying that as a person who hates horses haha
Angie says
Another crazy cake?! That’s just awesome! I love crazy creations. Even if I can’t duplicate, I love the ideas. And your anti gravity cake is definitely one of the craziest I’ve seen. I actually think I can and want to do something similar. And how could you hate horses?! I thought I knew you, Michelle!!
Michelle @ Giraffes Can Bake says
You definitely can do something anti-gravity – and i can’t wait to see it!
haha I’m sorry! I’m just very scared of horses, it’s my mums fault – when I was about 5 she told me a horse would kick my teeth out and I’ve been scared to go near them ever since (she said it because I was standing right behind one and she was trying to get me to move!)
Sarah James @ Tales From The Kitchen Shed says
It’s no wonder you’re going back Angie, the miniature horse is so cute & adorable. Brilliant features this week, the bird’s nest cake is inspired & the aubergine boats look delicious. Thanks for hosting & have a great weekend x
Angie says
That horse has personality! At one point she started banging on the stable door asking for more apples, lol. The features are all amazing, aren’t they? I want to definitely try the aubergines and maybe attempt the cake ?
Sarah James @ Tales From The Kitchen Shed says
Sounds like she has, I love horses although I’m usually a little wary cos they’re so big, your little friend is just the right size. I’ve bookmarked the aubergine recipe for when my homegrown aubergines are ready ?
Loretta says
Oh how precious and what a sweet idea to return to bring her goodies. Love that. Did you find that route I told you about? I hope so, there’s just so many amish farms along the way where you can stop and get fresh baked goods and amazing produce. Enjoy your weekend Angie 🙂
Angie says
Yes, I did! Saw many Amish families in their buggies and some of their children playing outside. Everybody seems happy and friendly. Incredible baked goods! I’m going to buy more. But first I have to clear the fridge ?
Suchi says
What lovely features Angie!! I am in love with the birdie nest! Kudos to Michelle!
Angie says
So am I, Su! It’s just amazing!
FrugalHausfrau says
I used to drive by a miniature horse farm and it was so funny to see them behind the big fences.I thought they could have just had little tiny fences and saved some money, lol! All the picks look so amazing! Wow~! That cake is way cool!
Angie says
Haha…I can imagine how funny that must have looked. Little horses behind tall fences! ??
