Mini Easter Egg Cakes are a super cute dessert to add to the menu over the Easter holiday. This recipe for Easter cakes uses a boxed cake mix and frosting making them easy and fun to create. This Easter recipe is one that everyone will love so you might want to make extras.

Think of these Easter treats like cookies, they are small so you can have more can have a few and not feel guilty. Remember it’s another holiday that is meant for delicious treats, we are allowed to overindulge.

Decorations for Easter Cakes

When it comes to Easter cakes there are so many colourful decorations and ways to decorate them once you have frosting on them. During this time of year, you will find all sorts of colourful candies like mini eggs, smarties, spring coloured sprinkles, and of course, you can make frosting to pipe onto the cakes in any design you like.

Decorating Easter eggs of any kind is always a fun way for the family to spend time together. Prepare a cake decorating station on the kitchen table, so that everyone has a spot to sit, chat, and enjoy the moments.

Since there will be extra cake after cutting out the egg shapes with an oval cookie cutter, you can use it to make little extra decorations for the cake tray. Perhaps roll them to look like grass or hay that would represent a nest. Maybe roll it into mini cake balls and add some frosting, they will look like tiny little eggs around the Egg Cakes.

Ideas for easter treats

You will probably have leftover sprinkles and candies, so make use of them in some other Easter goodies like these Chocolate Easter eggs stuffed with frosted Brownies. You can also eat the leftovers on their own; however I like to find more creative ways to use them up. These ideas for Easter treats will be definitely be enjoyed by your guests:

How to make easy easter cakes

Mix all the ingredients for the cake in a bowl as directed on the box.
Set aside and spray 3 circle cake pans with oil and then flour them.

Once floured, pour in 2 cups of cake batter to each pan.
Cook on 325 for 20-22 min or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cakes cool on wired racks for about 10 min.
Then run a knife around the edges and flip cake pans over so that cakes are resting on the wired rack.
You can continue onto the next step or refrigerate the cakes for about 15 min to make the cake easier to cut and handle.

Use egg cookie cutter and cut out the shapes.
Cut each egg shape in half and spread on the frosting.
Then place them back together.

Melt the chocolate with 2 tbs of vegetable oil in a microwaveable bowl in the microwave in 15 sec intervals or melt in a double broiler.
Pour melted chocolate over the cakes and use a knife to smooth the chocolate over the cake and sides.

Add sprinkles and then let the Easter egg cakes harden.
