EASTER CAKES THAT BUNNIES DREAM OF...

OUR FAVORITE CARROT CAKE with CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Treat your family and friends to our Favorite Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting!  Sweetly spiced with brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, super moist from fresh carrots and applesauce, and toasted pecans add even more flavor and texture.  The cream cheese frosting is silky and rich, and the perfect topping for this soft and flavorful cake. This is a family favorite that everyone loves!

STRAWBERRY POUND CAKE with STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

Strawberry Pound Cake may be the most amazing cake ever!  So pretty and pink, but the intense strawberry flavor and ultra-moist cake, drizzled with a fresh Strawberry Cream Cheese Glaze is a blue ribbon award winner!

CARROT CAKE with SWEET CREAM CHEESE FILLING & ORANGE CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

Is there anything more wonderful than super moist, spiced Carrot Cake stuffed with a Sweet Cream Cheese Filling and drizzled with sweet and tangy Orange Cream Cheese Glaze?  No raisins or pineapple in this tender and epic pound cake!  Perfect for Easter and spring celebrations!

When I was putting together my menu for Easter Dinner this year, this was the first thing that went on the list!  One of our springtime favorites, this Carrot Cake is loaded with flavor, super moist without being oily, and spiced to perfection with hints of vanilla bean, orange, pecans, and a silky sweet cream cheese filling.  This is the Carrot Cake that bunnies dream of! 

COCONUT CREAM CAKE with COCONUT CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Not only is this Coconut Cream Cake with Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting dazzling to look at, but it tastes divine!  Light and fluffy coconut cake is soft and moist - with natural coconut flavor and flecks of vanilla bean.  Perfectly sweet all by itself, but topped with a silky Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting and fresh shredded coconut, it is a coconut dream come true!

There's something about this traditional southern cake that reminds me of a big fluffy snowball - perfect for a special winter celebration, but equally as wonderful dressed up with fresh florals for a warm and sunny spring shower or Easter celebration.    ​

ROBIN EGG BUNNY BROWNIES

It’s always extra fun when the bunny delivers Robin Egg Bunny Brownies for Easter! Triple Chocolate Brownies (my Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate copycat recipe) are baked up as individual brownie bites and frosted with a swirl of beautiful Robin’s Egg Blue Buttercream Frosting and topped with a sweet little Ghirardelli Sea Salt Caramel Dark Chocolate Bunny or Caramel Milk Chocolate Bunny. These are brownie perfection and perfect for special spring celebrations! ​

CARROT CAKE COCONUT CUPCAKES with CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

MALTED CHOCOLATE EASTER EGG CHEESECAKE TART

Silky chocolate cheesecake mousse, filled with malted milk flavor - sitting pretty on an Oreo Cookie crust and decorated with my favorite Easter candy - malted eggs.   It's perfect for Easter celebrations, and just plain fun!

​My family loves this simple chocolate cheesecake mousse - and I love that it's a non-bake dessert that I can make ahead of time, tuck away in the freezer, and then pull out for guaranteed "oohs" and "aahs" - every single time!  And decorated with edible candy grass and colorful candy-coated Easter eggs, how simple and pretty is this?

DARK CHOCOLATE CADBURY CREME EGG CUPCAKES

My family LOVES homemade dark chocolate cupcakes, and they LOVE Cadbury Creme Eggs!  I've seen several recipes that incorporate the delicious Cadbury Creme Eggs into them, but usually involves stirring the unwrapped eggs into the batter (brownies) or painstakingly unwrapping the eggs, gently splitting them open, and scooping out the inside to melt and add - not for me!

I was really looking for a way to preserve the entire egg in its' entirety - and this fabulous dark chocolate cupcake is exactly what I wanted!

The hardest part of eating a Cadbury Cream Egg is NOT having them melt and run onto your hands while eating - this seems to happen with equal regularity not only with the little ones, but the older ones around here as well!  And the cupcake creates the perfect solution to this problem!  Unwrap the cupcake, and then munch, bite and lick to your heart's content on the Cadbury Creme Egg - no mess and you can take all the time in the world!

CARROT CAKE CHEESECAKE

​For today's trick, we are going to help everyone make up their minds!  For every time that I have made a Carrot Cake and a cheesecake, only to have so many people say they don't know which to choose, or "Maybe I could just have a little slice of both?"  This is the answer - plain and simple!

​Simple and oh so good!  Moist carrot cake spiced up just right...blended with swirls of creamy cheesecake.  And topped with the lightest cream cheese glaze...we're talking perfection here folks!  And the combination of luscious carrot cake and cream cheese?  It's out of this world wonderful!
