Even though we’ve still got Valentine’s Day to come, I am SUPER excited about Easter baking. It has always been an enjoyable time for me to bake because I do love a themed dessert! Coupled with the warmer weather and lighter evenings, it’s just a great time all around, don’t you agree?
I recently posted my Easter desserts roundup but I wanted to make another one that focused solely on sweet baking. All of these recipes are made in the oven and the majority of them are pretty straight forward with simple ingredients.
I’ve tried to include as much of a variety as I could so that everyone can find a recipe they’ll have fun trying out. This includes Easter-themed cookies and cakes, Springtime bakes, allergy-friendly options and lots more!
