Caught on Camera: The Easter Bunny’s Guide to Hiding Candy in Custom Cabinets

Hi there, it’s me—the Easter Bunny. You’ve probably heard of my work: hopping house to house, delivering candy-filled eggs, and pulling off covert chocolate drop-offs like a fluffy little ninja. But I’m here to let you in on a trade secret…

When it comes to hiding Easter candy, custom cabinets are my favorite hiding spots. Hands down. If your house has Serenity Custom Woodworking cabinetry, you’re not just blessed with beautiful craftsmanship—you’ve got bunny-approved candy concealment zones.

Let me show you how I do my best work with your best cabinets.

Deep Drawers = Deep Deception

Those full-extension drawers? Absolute gold. Not only do they hold your giant stash of chocolate eggs, but they also slide all the way back—perfect for tucking treats behind everyday items like potholders or pasta. Kids think they’ve checked the drawer. But surprise! There’s a bag of jellybeans behind the lasagna noodles.

Hot tip: if there’s a baking sheet drawer, slide a flat bag of chocolate coins under the pans. Nobody checks under bakeware. Nobody.

Pull-Out Pantry Shelves: A Bunny’s Best Friend

Pull-out pantry shelves aren’t just convenient for you. They’re a dream for someone trying to hide a trail mix of marshmallow bunnies and peanut butter eggs. I slide the goodies in between cereal boxes, behind canned goods, or in that appliance you never use. (Lookin’ at you, fondue pot.)

Bonus points if you’ve got a pantry with tiered shelves—those high ones are out of the kids’ line of sight and give me plenty of places to stash things.

Built-In Trash and Recycling? Hah. Trickery at Its Finest.

Hear me out—no one ever opens the extra pull-out bin. You know, the one that’s not the main trash. Tuck a sealed bag of chocolate malted eggs in there behind the recycling bin liner rolls. It’s clean, it’s clever, and it’s chaos-proof.

Don’t worry, I don’t actually put candy in the trash. I’m sneaky, not savage.

Above-the-Fridge Cabinets: The Ultimate No-Kid Zone

Tall cabinets are an elite-level hiding spot. Kids are short. Parents forget these even exist. But I don’t. I’ve hidden entire Easter baskets in those towering enclosures. Especially in those homes with custom crown molding finishes—they’re gorgeous, but they also double as candy vaults.

Warning: if your kid starts stacking stools and chairs to reach the top, that’s not on me. That’s evolution.

Mudroom Lockers Are Perfect for Decoys

If your family has those personalized mudroom lockers from Serenity—you know, the ones with hooks, cubbies, and drawers for each kid—here’s a trick: use them as decoys.

Put a few plastic eggs in the obvious spots. Maybe one on the bench. A couple in their shoe bin. Let them feel the thrill of the hunt… while the real treasure remains undetected in the kitchen cabinetry.

Toe-Kick Drawers: You Probably Forgot You Even Had These

Now this one’s advanced. Some custom cabinets have hidden drawers in the toe-kick space—you know, the little panel under your lower cabinets. If you’ve got these, you’re basically storing candy in a secret lair. No one thinks to look there. Except me.

You’re welcome.

The Real MVP: Serenity Custom Woodworking

Let’s be honest—none of this candy-hiding magic would be possible without the beautiful, smart, and sneaky cabinetry from Serenity Custom Woodworking. From deep drawers and hidden compartments to smart mudroom setups and sleek pantry designs, Serenity makes it easy for even a bunny like me to keep things festive (and hidden) year after year.

So this Easter, while the kids are busy searching behind curtains and under couch cushions, I’ll be chuckling behind your custom cabinets.

Happy Hiding,
🐰 The Easter Bunny
