Easter is a celebration that includes a lot of food. The best part of the festival is that it is an opportunity for people who are sweet tooths to go crazy with the kind of sweet dishes that are prepared. While the traditionally cooked food for Easter is lamb, pork, and hot cross buns, some of us look forward to the end of the meal. Why? Because it’s dessert time! A celebration is incomplete without desserts and what better dessert than a cake? With Easter coming closer, we bring to you a few ideas that are easy to try, even if you lack the skill of a talented baker in the kitchen. These delicious desserts are sure to make the end of your lavish meal perfect and satisfy your sweet cravings. So without further ado, let’s dive right into the dough.
1. Bunny Cake
What’s Easter without a bunny-themed cake? Well, it’s incomplete. If you have kids around the house who look forward to the Easter Bunny, this is the perfect cake for you. Bake the cake as usual and keep a sugar cutout of a bunny on the top to add an element of Easter excitement to your dessert.
2. Decorative Cakes
Add elements of the festivities on your regular cake with decorative pieces of sugar. For a plain sponge cake with cream cheese frosting, pops of color bring out the best of Easter. For all you lovers of sweetness, carrots and colorful Easter eggs are the way to go.
3. Choco-Cake
What’s unique about this cake is the chocolate sauce that is smeared on the uniquely shaped cake base. The complementary colored eggs around the cake are best suited for the cousins who visit you on Easter and complain of not getting cake.
4. Cup Cakes
Easier to make and easier to eat, cupcakes are the best option for a house filled with kids. With these cute cupcakes, every kid gets a personalized rendition of an Easter-themed idea. Also, if there are only a few people in the house, you can opt for cupcakes because baking a whole cake might not be a feasible idea.
5. Cookies On Cake
Get creative with your Easter-themed cookies for those little pops of energy at home. Decorative cookies on the cake is a great way to accessorize your plain-looking cakes and the best part? Your kids will totally love it.
6. Bunny Fam
Why limit yourselves to one bunny on the cake when you can have a family of bunnies? Make it extra special by adding chocolate bunnies on your vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting. Decorate it with edible carrot cutouts and you’ve got yourself a bunny farm.
7. Easter Jelly Cake
There is no dessert without jello; some houses believe so and we’ve got a solution for you. Mix it up, add a layer of jello to your cake and voila, you’ve created something that fits the festivities.
8. Sweet Speckles
A speckled cake to add some sparkles to your Easter; this one is a simple cake idea. It resembles a shiny disco ball once the speckles are added and is simple yet so effective. You could also decorate it with some speckled eggs to finish off your perfect party cake.
9. Butt Bunny
Another bunny cake but with an element of naughty, the butt bunny cake is one with a twist to the traditional bunny cake. It can even be made into cupcakes so everyone gets a taste of the butt (no pun intended).
10. Eggy Specks
No list of cakes is complete without a traditional chocolate cake. One that suits every occasion, a chocolate cake is the epitome of dessert choices for that lover of sugar. Paint a bunch of mini chocolate eggs with some edible paint speckled on and you’ll have a cake full of eggs that look like they’re ready to hatch.
11. Cake Pops
Cake pops are tiny balls of rum and chocolate that look like a lollipop. The best thing about this is that it can be made into multiple designs and poked into the cake. From bunnies to chickens to colorful eggs, the kind of things that can be made from a cake pop is endless.
12. Wrap It
For the ultimate cake lover, wrap your Easter cake with a ribbon and present it to them as a gift. That way, they get the cake and get to eat it too (if you know what I mean). Make it pop with colorful additions and creatively painted Easter eggs.
13. Nest Cake
Another idea for a creative cake concept is this one. Create a layer of topping with fondant and place colorful eggs on it making it look like it’s in a nest. You can use shredded brown butter paper to make the nest. And fret not, even though you’ve placed all your eggs in one basket (pun intended).
14. Design Your Eggs
Here’s an out of the box idea for all the chocolate eggs you bought for Easter. Design them creatively to your liking and place them on your cakes. With every egg, there is a different design that brings out an element of surprise.
