My Easter Treat

Cassandra's Easter Trea

Easter is quite significant in Catalunya. The week before Easter is called, Semana Santa, Holy week. Mainly, you go to church or stay home and apologize to God for your sins (mistakes). One of the many treats they have here are Gaudi eggs. They are chocolate eggs inspired by Gaudi the architects work. To make these delectable eggs you simply get a hollow chocolate egg, melt a hole big enough to put tasty filling such as dulce de leche, sweet cream, or caramel and wholah! A Gaudi inspired treat. Other foods around Easter are delicious chocolate eggs, scrumptious pastries, and even chocolate Barcelona soccer balls.

Our holy week and Easter here were very pleasurable. We were able to see a procession of Jesus carrying the cross. It was very interesting to go back in time and experience this. Luckily, the walk wasn’t too far. After this, we had something special, an Easter pastry! Sofia and I got a mini chocolate cake with raspberry gel inside with a chocolate piece and raspberry on top, my mom got a mini chocolate cake also, except with orange inside and topped with orange chocolate, Cassandra got a slice of addicting carrot cake, and Nolan got a glazed doughnut topped with chocolate syrup. On Easter morning, we found on the kitchen table the cutest and professionally done chocolate sculptures. Cassandra got a chocolate bunny holding a beautifully designed egg, Sofia got a chocolate cottage with crunchy chocolate steps and Snow White next to it, Nolan got a life-sized Barcelona soccer ball, and I got a chocolate bear holding vanilla ice cream. Easter in Catalunya was an experience none of us will forget.
