Easter Cake Ideas

I thought I'd share some fabulous ideas for Easter cakes that I've been seeing around the web. Best of all, for those of us that don't want to bake from scratch, all of these cakes could be made by embellishing a purchased grocery store or bakery cake. With a few simple steps and a few Easter candies, these cakes could be pulled together in no time at all.

The first is from That Winsome Girl. Take a simple chocolate cake, shave some chocolate pieces on top to resemble a nest and add a few malted Easter eggs.

What a simple idea with fantastic presentation!

Using a store-bought cake, Country Living shows us how to make this

sweet bunny cake using sugar cookies.

This one from Cindy's Cakes could easily be made by asking your local bakery to make a basket weave cake and piping green icing on top to resemble grass. Then you could add the chocolate bunnies and malted Easter eggs yourself.

This idea from Birthday Cake Party is similar in concept to the one above.

Family Fun has a cute Easter basket cake -- how simple would this be! Just add a basket handle from a Dollar Store Easter basket, some ribbon and Easter candies.

This gorgeous cake from Sweet Cuddle Cakes shows simplicity at its best!

Adding some chocolate shavings to resemble a nest around the cakes and a few pretty plastic Easter eggs on top and you're done. So pretty!
