I thought the Quick Tip for the Trifle Bowl with grass and eggs was very cute. I think if I can find the grass, I am going to that at my shows this weekend.
 
I was thinking about that too...
 
I think it's a great idea and I'll be taking one for easter when we go visit family....they can book to look hopefully! And it should make a great table centerpiece that no one eats and can travel from family to family as we go (all weekend long).
 
I have my trifle already filled with grass and real colored eggs as a centerpiece!! I need a few more so that I don't have to dismantle it for my shows :p
 
I think I jsut need to order another one and use it as a display one...... that way I dont' ahve to keep taking it down for shows...

That's how I feel too Leah! There are so many cute decorating ideas out there - but I'm always using it for food!!!
 
Where To Find WheatgrassWheatgrass should be available in your Organic Produce section. That is, if you have an Organic Produce section. : ) I live in Olympia, WA... I tend to forget the rest of the country isn't always as organic friendly.

Some florists and floral departments even carry it this time of year.

Other places to check might be: Food Co-Op, Health Foods Store, "Juice Bars"

If you still can't find it, you might still have time to grow your very own grass using just regular grass seed. But you would need to start it right now, indoors. Note: Please don't eat your regular grass seed once it's sprouted.

It also looks very cute in the SA Small Bowls.

Have fun!
 
Could someone post this? We got a different tip. TIA!
 
Here it is:
Quick Tip
Celebrate spring by creating this attractive centerpiece! Gently place a 3-inch tall pot of wheatgrass in center of Trifle Bowl. Fill Trifle Bowl with colored Easter grass, surrounding the pot of wheatgrass. Gently place small pastel-colored foil-wrapped candies in Easter grass. Wheatgrass can be found in the produce section of most major grocery stores.
 
I too could use a 2nd trifle bowl, for shows and for decorating! Hmm, may have to purchase one soon!

Quick Tip – Show Enhancer
Director Jennifer Adams has found a fabulous way to feature our Trifle Bowl. After her demo, while guests are perusing their catalogues and making their purchasing decisions, Jennifer quickly builds a trifle. She layers brownies cut into small pieces, then chocolate pudding, then cool whip sprinkled with crushed score bars. She then slices strawberries using our Egg Slicer Plus® and stands them up around the sides of the Trifle Bowl. She repeats the layers again and garnishes with more strawberries. Easy to do and a real show stopper - Jennifer sold six Trifle Bowls to guests when she did this. Great idea ... Jennifer is going to offer this as an add-on when her hosts have fifteen guests in attendance.
 
I just put easter grass in mine with the cutest plastic eggs-they have polka dots! I love them! AND THEN I got the weekly bites! I can actually USE my decoration!

PS I Love the Canadian tip...

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a trifle bowl and how can I use it for Easter decorations?

A trifle bowl is a large, typically glass bowl that is used to display layered desserts. For Easter, you can use it to create a beautiful centerpiece by layering decorative grass and plastic or chocolate eggs, giving a festive touch to your table.

What materials do I need to create the trifle bowl decoration?

To create the trifle bowl decoration, you will need a trifle bowl, decorative grass (real or artificial), and eggs (plastic, chocolate, or dyed hard-boiled eggs). Optional items include flowers or other spring-themed decorations to enhance the look.

How do I layer the grass and eggs in the trifle bowl?

Start by placing a layer of decorative grass at the bottom of the trifle bowl. Then, arrange the eggs on top of the grass. You can alternate layers of grass and eggs to create a visually appealing display. Finish with a final layer of grass on top to cover any gaps.

Can I use this trifle bowl decoration for other occasions besides Easter?

Yes! The trifle bowl can be adapted for various occasions. For example, you can use seasonal decorations like leaves and pumpkins for fall, or flowers and seashells for summer. The layering concept works well for any festive display.

How do I clean and store my trifle bowl after use?

After using your trifle bowl, carefully remove the decorations and wash the bowl with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry it with a soft cloth. Store the bowl in a safe place to prevent breakage, and consider wrapping it in bubble wrap if storing for an extended period.
