we put decorated eggs in
our Easter Cakes.

Easter Bunny, who lays the
Easter Eggs . It also gives

house to ward off the bad

Easter Cake
UK
They don’t eat the typical
Easter Cake but they eat Cross
Buns, which are usually served
hot and with some sugar above
the bun.
Catalonia
Here, we prepare a delicious
round cake which can be filled
with chocolate, cream… This
Easter cake is decorated with
coloured eggs.

Easter in Catalonia and Easter in the UK are very
different, but they have some similarities because the
celebration itself it’s the same. One of the biggest
differences are the Easter Eggs and the Easter Bunny.
Easter is the time to be kind with the other people
and this spirit is in all celebrations of Easter.
