9 Desserts to Make for Easter

If you're menu planning for Easter or charged with bringing dessert, I have a few ideas for you. Obviously, I just posted an Easter trifle, so I don't need to mention that. Wait, I just did. 

Here are 9 more. Click the title to go to the recipe. 

1. Favorite Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake is an Easter classic. You cannot go wrong with this one. Two things make this version extra special: fresh ginger in the cake and cream cheese frosting. It's one of our favorite cakes ever.

2. Double-Decker Bunnies

Only the sweetest bunny cookies around. Also, two cookies in one!

3. Bunny Bait

This first appeared on the blog waaaaaay back in 2011! It's an oldie but a goodie....and always a hit!


4. Coconut Cream Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

The cake just screams "spring" to me...the coconut, the icing, the sprinkles!


5. Reese's Peanut Butter Egg-Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies

Need I say more?



6. Peeps Show S'mores Bars

This is pretty much the only way to eat Peeps. If you don't make them before Easter, go crazy with the 1/2-price Peeps after Easter!

7. Bird's Nest Cupcakes with Speckled Egg Cookie Toppers

You guys...these are so sweet! The cookie toppers come together really quickly. Those along with the toasted coconut make even cupcakes from a box (shhhh....) super special.

8. Carrot Cake Cookies

I mean...so delicious, so cute! I love the simple decoration on top!

9. Polka Dot Bunnies

Here's one more sweet decorated cookie idea for Easter...polka dot bunnies with flowers. What could be more perfect for Spring?

OK...let's hear what you're making for Easter!
