An egg-cellent pizza perfect for Easter :)

When you ask someone what their favourite time of year is, most people will say Christmas or their birthday – maybe the summer holidays if you ask a kid or a teacher?! For me though, nothing beats Easter. Odd I know, but I love everything about it and feel this holiday is wholly undervalued. Chocolate is in abundance but so too are colours! Beautiful flowers begin to bloom as the dreary winter gives way to the promise of a sunny spring and the hopes of a glorious summer. Baby lambs and chicks fill the fields as egg hunts get under way. So move over Christmas with your turkey and trimmings, pudding and mince pies, this one’s all about Easter and the most delicious cake of all – a Simnel cake.
