Our Easter celebration usually has one show-stopper cake. It serves as a festive centerpiece for the table and delicious dessert to wrap up our Easter brunch. There are so many fun cakes to make and can be hard to know which to choose! Here are Easter cake ideas to help you figure out what to make for your family this year! The kids may look forward to the Easter egg hunt, but I look forward to the cake!
Spring is the perfect time to make a citrus or fruity cake. It’s hard to believe that there are people who don’t love chocolate (crazy talk, I know) but there are. A cake with fruit in it is usually something that everyone finds enjoyable.
Easter Cake Ideas to Make This Year
Is it even spring if you don't serve a citrus cake?! Growing up, my birthday cake of choice was always a tangy lemon cake, so these cakes sound AMAZING to me! I think Bundt cakes are so underrated. They look so pretty on a buffet and really don't take that much skill to make look pretty. I wouldn't be mad at this Limoncello glaze either... I love using fresh herbs in cakes and this Rosemary Lemon cake is right up my alley! An upside cake is always a winner in my book! Plus look how gorgeous the oranges look! It's all the decoration you need! Italian inspired sweets tend to be a little more savory than I'm used to but they are always so delicious! This might be more pie than cake but I think this would be such a neat thing to serve when you want to try something totally new! I'm currently trying to do Keto so I love that this option is better suited to my diet (I've really been missing the sweets!) and who doesn't love a lemon poppy seed situation?! Lavender in anything is my fave. Pair it with lemon and I wouldn't need to eat anything but this. How excited would the kids be with this fun and brightly colored sherbert cake! Orange and chocolate is one of my favorite flavor combos. This white chocolate version seems perfetly springy! If it's even remotely close to Starbucks lemon cake I would steal this whole loaf for myself and not share it. This yummy cake would probably appeal to the chocolate lovers and the fruit lovers! That's one crowd pleasing dessert! Yogurt would keep this cake super moist and marmalade is one of my favorite things that I don't eat very often. I bet it makes the glaze full of flavor and a little tart! Spring is my favorite season since so many different fruits are in season. Why not follow Mother Nature's lead and use the seasons best flavors in your Easter Cakes!? Strawberry anything is fine by me. Plus strawberries generally appeal to the kids too. You can't go wrong with a strawberry buttercream! If you want to do something a little different, serve a Mango Tres Leches cake! Creamy and tart, this would be a delicious Easter brunch cake. My kids don't love fresh pineapple but they go crazy for it in baked goods! This cake would be full of flavor and has just 5 ingredients! There is nothing better than coconut cake. Paired with the season's best strawberries, you've got the makings for my new favorite dessert. Hummingbird cakes are not something you see every day! It's a nostalgic cake idea with nuts and pineapple that I want in my mouth right now.Citrus Easter Cake Ideas

Candy Cakes to Make for Easter
I think these candy cakes would be a total hit with all the kids in your family. Whenever you pair two kinds of sweets it creates magic in my opinion. I have a wicked sweet tooth so I fully approve of adding seasonal candy to a cake!
Peeps Easter Garden Poke Cake
No matter how gross you think Peeps are, you get them every year. And by you, I mean me. But they really do look cute on this cake!
Reese's Cake {Homemade Chocolate Cake}
We have a peanut butter allergy in the house so we could never make this cake but I will dream about it.
Kit Kat and Cadbury Egg Easter Cake
There's something about those Kit Kats all lined up perfectly that makes me want to not eat this but just stare at it. But I know that would last for about a minute and then I'd tear it apart.
Chocolate Easter Bunny Cake
I am a little bit challenged in the cake decorating department so I love this simple idea of using store-bought chocolate bunnies to decorate! Still no idea how I'd make the grass actually look like grass though...
Twinkie Bundt Cake
Ew. But you've gotta try it. Right?!
PEEPS Easter Cake
Another one with cute bunnies! I love the Jelly Beans as Easter Eggs on top!
Slow Cooker Creme Egg Chocolate Cake
My family LOVES Cadbury Creme Eggs and I love a crockpot cake so this might be on my menu this year.
Easter Cream Egg Icebox Cake
Icebox cakes are my jam! They remind me of the 70's and taste so yummy! I definitely want to give this one a try!
Sunflower Peeps Cake Recipe with Homemade Chocolate Frosting
This one wins for the most creative use of Peeps. Sunflowers are so 90's and perfectly on trend for this spring.
I'll be honest, I would never even attempt to make most of these cakes. You've got to know your limits and I just don't have the skill for shaped cakes with extra special decorating. But they are so cute! So I may suggest one of these to another family member who is MUCH better at things like this! It doesn't hurt to ask, right?! That sweet little face! I might have trouble sticking a knife in to this one... A cute little bunny bum. Absolutely adorable! I love the bright colors in this cake and think this poke cake is more my speed. How jazzed would the kids be when this one is cut into and there are all kinds of colors! Another bunny butt, but this time over a cheesecake! I love Pinata cakes and this one uses another chocolate bunny as the main focal point. So simple and so cute. I wanted to make sure to include a vegan cake since I remember how hard it was to find yummy recipes for my food allergic son! Funfetti is a great choice for an Easter cake and I love how they made the face on the side of the cake and added ears! Green coconut. It's the secret to making edible grass for those of us that can't decorate well. Another cute little bunny! Will anyone in your family fight over those licorice eyes?Cute Cakes for Your Easter Parties
