Why I Chose These Cakes
Spring is the perfect time to make citrus or fruity cake. A cake with fruit in it is usually something that everyone finds enjoyable. Or try something full of chocolate flavor.
There is no wrong answer on this list!
I chose recipes for homemade Easter Cakes that suit all types of people. I consider myself a novice baker (I prefer Boxed Cake Mix Desserts) but I know some of you like to show off a little and have the skills to back it up.
So whether you’re looking for something super cute and creative or something simple that tastes amazing, this list has you covered.
From Easter-themed to recipes that feature the best spring flavors, you can easily choose a delicious dish to make for the family.
Whether you set up a waffle bar for the kids to eat from, serve brunch family-style at the table or create one specialty dish (like these Monte Cristo Roll-Ups) one or a few of these Easter cakes is the perfect way to finish your meal.
Don’t want to make a cake? Make a Panoramic Sugar Egg instead! They aren’t edible but they are a cute centerpiece idea for your brunch table.
