Easter officially the best excuse to indulge in all things sweet. Whether you’re obsessed with chocolate, love a good pastry, or just need an excuse to whip out your apron, Easter baking is where it’s at. Plus, nothing says ‘spring vibes’ like a kitchen filled with the smell of freshly baked treats.
So, whether you're hosting an Easter brunch, treating the fam, or just feeling extra, here are seven irresistible bakes to make this season extra special.
1. Classic hot cross buns—but better
Nothing beats a warm, spiced hot cross bun slathered in butter. But why not level up? Try chocolate chip hot cross buns, or swap out raisins for chopped apricots and white chocolate.
2. The ultimate Easter egg brownie
Take your brownies to the next level by stuffing them with mini Easter eggs. Imagine biting into a gooey chocolate brownie and hitting a melty, crunchy Easter egg centre. Drooling yet?
3. French-style Easter brioche
Rich, fluffy, and buttery, brioche is a must for Easter mornings. Add a hint of orange zest and vanilla, and you’ve got a pâtisserie-worthy treat that pairs perfectly with a latte.
4. Crème egg stuffed cookies
Because stuffing chocolate inside cookies is always a good idea. These thick, chewy cookies have a hidden surprise—a gooey, melted crème egg in the middle.
5. Pastel macarons for a fancy Easter tea
Channel your inner French pastry chef and whip up some delicate pastel-coloured macarons. Think soft pinks, baby blues, and lemon yellows filled with white chocolate ganache or raspberry jam. Très chic!
6. Carrot cake cupcakes (because balance, right?)
Easter means bunnies, and bunnies mean carrots—so carrot cake is basically mandatory. Bake up spiced carrot cupcakes topped with a rich cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of toasted pecans.
7. Easter pavlova with all the toppings
A light, crispy meringue loaded with whipped cream, fresh berries, and a drizzle of chocolate? Yes, please. Scatter mini eggs on top for extra Easter vibes.
Easter baking is all about having fun, getting creative, and enjoying sweet treats with loved ones. Whether you’re perfecting pâtisserie classics or stuffing every dessert with chocolate eggs (no judgment), there’s something special about homemade Easter bakes.
So, grab your whisk, preheat the oven, and let the baking magic begin! And if you want to level up your skills, why not check out Trills for expert-led baking classes? Because let’s be real—homemade always tastes better.
