A Delicious Easter Dinner Party from Start to Finish With Only a Few Hiccups Along the Way!

Becky, you made me cry today! Crying in a good way. It was when you said you were cooking all by yourself and you were glad we were there to be with you. As someone who doesn't have any friends, I really appreciate you welcoming us into the kitchen. ❤

Your genuine surprise and happiness at seeing your mom show up was absolutely heartwarming. What a beautiful thing to have such a friend in your mother.

I'm yelling at the screen pot holder in the oven Becky!!! I love it when you leave your mistakes in bc we learn from it. So thank you. I didn't know why it had to be creamed in that order and now I do.

Update:: I love how she still teaches you and thus us too. Give her big hug Becky just because. 😊

Hi everyone, just want to say I am so grateful for this community. I was able to interview today with a great company and I have a work demo on Monday before I can start my probationary period for the next 3 months and I’m feeling great today. I wanted to share my joy! Dealing with a career change is scary but I’m so glad I have the opportunity.

I smiled when your mom was telling you about sliding cake layers. When I was 6, my brother was having his 9th birthday and he had asked for my mother's devil's food cake with caramel icing. It was her specialty and it always went off without a hitch, but not this time. I think she was in a hurry and the cake was still slightly warm. The top layer started to slide and she pushed it back into place and stuck some toothpicks in to hold it in place until she could get it cooled enough in the fridge so it wouldn't slide. Somehow, one edge of the cake stayed put and it slid again, just slightly so there was a void between the hunk stuck in place and the rest. Just then my brother walked in, took one look, and in typical 9 yr old boy fashion, said, "Cool, Mom! You made a cake with a handle!" Sixty years later, we still talk about the "handle cake"! ❤

Becky, for many years I was a professional Baker and Caterer. The cake you said didn’t come out the way you had hoped it would, simply make a lemon simple syrup and douse the layers well then make one of the cheesecake layers that you’ve made before to go between the two lemon layers. You can use raspberry between the layers if you wish but with the simple syrup you probably won’t need to. However you can decorate the top of the cake with cream cheese icing with fresh raspberries and thinly sliced twisted lemon slices.🍋🍰❤

For my Easter meal a neighbor brought over plates of food for my husband and I. He’s bedridden and has dementia and didn’t even know it was Easter Sunday. It was very sweet of my neighbor to bring us dinner otherwise we probably would’ve just had cereal 😂😂😂😂

When we celebrated Easter dinner with my side of the family we would have ham, sliced potatoes cooked in butter with onions baked in the oven, baked beans, sometimes potato salad, deviled eggs and “green stuff”. 😂😂😂 the green stuff was a gelatin salad- lime jello, applesauce and ginger ale. Put the lime jello in with the applesauce in saucepan until the jello dissolves add ginger ale (can’t remember how much but a little less than the amount of water that would have been used). Put in jello mold or dish you will use to serve and refrigerate. It’s sweet but has a little zing to it. Goes great with ham

Becky the look on your face when your mom talks to the camera is priceless, nothing but the love you have for your mom shines in your smile. Great video, thank you!

So grateful for you Becky and this online community of your fans! So much learning not only from you, but from the comments!

My mother and I have been waiting for this dinner. You and your mom are just so inspiring . Ty for being so gracious with your time and sharing your life

I always loved cooking with my mother. I miss her everyday, but mostly cooking for holidays. Enjoy your moms!!!!❤❤❤❤

Lol that's so sweet that your mom came early and suprized you in her kitchen... Your parents and you seem to have such a lovely relationship you are so lucky

I love each day you post! Thank you for making everyone feel so welcome.

I love the way you and your Mom work together to prepare for your dinner parties. The way you both organize is so efficient. I was teary eyed when your mother made it by surprise. My mother is no longer here and it just made my heart smile how you think of things to make her have a better day.

Also, I love all of your videos.

I absolutely love these family dinners you cook with your mother. She has such an elegance about her. Of course, love your videos too Becky. Having your mother on makes it even more special.

Tip for cake stacking when using a jam filling: put a very thin layer of frosting on the top of each cake layer before piping your boarder & adding the jam. Then, after stacking your cake layers, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes (or freeze for 10-15 minutes before adding the remaining frosting & decorating. This will help stabilize the cake & keep it from leaning.

I absolutely love watching your videos. Your smiling happy disposition is very refreshing! ❤

Give your mom another hug and a shoulder massage. I feel caregiving for loved ones is close to one of the hardest jobs ever. So happy she got a break to enjoy the party!

I could tell how much you were missing your mom. How sweet to see your happiness upon her surprise return. <3

Hi, dear Becky! Celebrate every day you have with your beautiful parents. Their presence is truly a gift in your life --- mine have passed, and I miss them terribly. 💔❤
