Easter Bunny Brownies
Quick, easy and effective, these Easter brownies are a super cute option and are sure to be a crowd pleaser! Take your favourite brownie mix and bake as normal, before getting to the fun bit - the decorating!
Here, the amazing @acakeonlife created the cutest sugarpaste decorations to add a touch of spring to the design. The colourful carrots and burrowing bunny take this treat from a simple bake to a seasonal smash hit!

Beautiful Bento Cakes
A Bento cake is a super cute, miniature bake, and it's sure to put a smile on everyone's faces! This pretty orange and yellow version by @by.sarahteresa is the perfect spring cake.
All you need is:
- A bunny cookie cutter
- Colour Mill Lemon and Peach
- Funcakes non-pareils
- A pastel cupcake box.
Once you've created your bunny design, finish decorating with your choice of sprinkles, sugar toppers or mini eggs for the cutest Easter look.
Easter Egg Stencils
A stencil is such a simple way to elevate your cake designs, and we have a great range to choose from! Our friend @yoras.cakes used our cute Easter Eggs stencils from Simply Making to decorate this beauty.
With a colourful background and the stencilled designs overlayed in white, Judit created a pretty pastel cake that we can't take our eyes off! This would make the loveliest centrepiece on an Easter treat table.
Colourful Easter Cookies
When it comes to Easter baking ideas, colourful cookies are a popular option! Our lovely friend @4cake_sake cut out these cute bunny and easter egg cookie shapes, with our Easter cookie cutters, and decorated them with buttercream and sprinkles.
To personalise them, write little messages in royal icing (or with your favourite colour from the FunCakes Choco Writer range) to give them some finishing flair!
Adorable Easter Bunny Cake
Nothing says Easter quite like an adorable bunny theme! This gorgeous one-tier wonder by @bryncottagex is so beautifully decorated with chunky eggs from Happy Sprinkles, cute fondant egg and butterfly decorations and a perfect model of a sweet Easter bunny. Almost too cute to eat!
Chocolate Egg Creations
How pretty are these Easter egg cakes by @thecakerubiks?! This is a fun way to make your Easter chocolate extra special. Using an Easter Egg mould, create your half chocolate shells, fill with your cake mix and top off with more chocolate - in whatever spring-like colour you choose! Watch our tutorial video on Instagram to follow along!
Easter Themed Traybake Treats
Easter-themed cutters are a must-have for baking at this time of year! Judit (@yoras.cakes) used this adorable set of springtime cutters from Wilton to create these brownies! Topped off with colourful buttercream, they're the perfect bite!
And they aren't just handy for brownies. Use these cutters to create cookies or mini cakes too, whatever treats you fancy - with this set, you can easily create themed bakes with any base!
Cute Easter Cupcakes
What could be easier than cupcakes? Grab your favourite cupcake mix (or use your own recipe) to whip up a batch. For some Easter flair, pipe on your buttercream in pretty pastel colours. And then, if you’re feeling extra creative, follow in @acakeonlife’s footsteps and create some gorgeous sugarpaste toppers in the shape of bunny ears and carrots!
Learn how to make these in our full tutorial - How to Make these Super Cute Easter Cupcakes.
Pull-Apart Easter Cupcake Wreath
If you’re looking for a slightly different way to present your cupcakes, why not go for a cute pull-apart Easter cupcake wreath! We created this as our seasonal Bake with Us tutorial and we love how it turned out!
- Simply position your cupcakes in a circle (sides all touching)
- Pipe and spread your buttercream around the top
- Decorate with your favourite sprinkles, candy shapes and mini eggs!

Egg-Shaped Lambeth Cake
Oh, how we love a pretty Lambeth! This gorgeous cake by @yoras.cakes has everything you could want from a spring cake. Delicate florals, pretty pastel colours, bunny rabbit detail and, most crucially, it's in the shape of an Easter Egg! A showstopping centrepiece for sure...
‘Go Bold’ Egg-Shaped Cake
Sticking with the egg shape, pastels are lovely, but it's also fun to go bold! Using our Egg-shaped Ganache Plates, @thecakerubiks created this gorgeous cake, and added perfectly piped icing in bold pinks and oranges. It's such a glorious colour palette! Topped off with some beautiful, bright sprinkles.
Brownie Stuffed Easter Eggs
Bintcy at @chikzpatisserie created the ultimate gift for a chocolate lover this Easter - brownie stuffed Easter Eggs!!
A chocolate shell (use our moulds to make your own) filled with gloriously indulgent brownie pieces, drizzled with caramel or more chocolate (dealer's choice!) and finished with colourful non-pareils. Packaged up in our adorable basket-style boxes, this is a favourite of our Easter baking ideas!
Spring Florals Cake
It's a classic for a reason! Springtime Florals never go wrong, and @thecakerubiks shows us just how spectacular they can be in this stunning cake! Add pretty floral toppers to make a statement (just wrap the stems first) or even add edible flowers to your design.
Don't Worry, Be Hoppy
Remember the Egg-shaped Ganache Plates from earlier? Here's another gorgeous way to put them to use! Bintcy at @chikzpatisserie created this lovely pastel watercolour effect cake and added bunny ears and feet for an adorable look. Perfectly presented on a pastel cake board.
Easter Baking Essentials
And last but not least, an easy way to level up your cupcakes is using a cute Easter cupcake box! These beautiful fondant and buttercream-topped bakes by @yoras.cakes make the most perfect gift presented in this packaging!
