1. Easter Cakes
There are numerous ways for making Easter Cakes. It can be a simple square plate cake or a tiered round cake or why not a bunny shaped cake or even Swiss cake roll. The base of the Easter cake can really be any cake of your liking, but why not try out a moist carrot cake with cinnamon and ginger to really spice up your Easter feast.

Decorating options for an Easter cake are literally endless. Colour the icing lovely duck egg blue, light yellow or any other pastel shade. Turn it into a cute drip cake, using our handy bottled drip chocolate. Add some sprinkles and cute fondant figurines or chocolate decorations such as bunnies, eggs, chicks, carrots…just let your imagination fly.

2. Easter Cupcakes
Cupcakes are a really nice addition to any party table as they look really cute and are also very convenient bite-size treats, which means you don't have to worry about the often messy cake cutting or extra dishes. Not to mention, they are versatile when it comes to decorating - you can try out different icing techniques and decors. If you’re looking for a REALLY simple way of decorating, we can recommend our pre-designed Easter themed cupcake icing images and cupcake toppers that are super easy and quick to use.

Another lovely idea for your cupcake decor is Easter egg nest design. The nest can be made from chocolate sprinkles, roasted coconut flakes or actually any frosting piped on the cupcake to resemble the nest.

Easter cookies are usually simple sugar cookies designed in an Easter theme using cookie cutters, colourful fondant and cookie stamps. But there are also other options that might not be as easy to decorate but offer a taste variety, such as oatmeal cookies, almond cookies or Greek Easter orange cookies called Koulourakia.

5. Easter Treat Boxes
Easter egg hunt is one of the highlights of the season for kids. Why not put a twist on it this time and surprise the little hunters with a bigger prize - a customized treat box full of different goodies. There are plenty of different ways to fill up the box - for example, it can be a bunny or egg shaped chocolate smash box filled with candies (by the way, we have a detailed instruction on how to make a giant chocolate egg).
