If you’re in the mood to show off your baking skills this Easter – or just feel the urge to be extra creative – here are 7 seriously ingenious & inspiring Easter treat ideas from Martha that are sure to do the trick!
Starting from the top… how adorable are these Spring Chick Cupcakes?! Loving this idea for a barnyard-themed birthday party or “About to Hatch” baby shower too!
Pictured above: These Flower Pot Cupcakes – baked in small terracotta pots & sprinkled with crushed cookie “dirt” – take “creative presentation” to a whole new level!
And another cute idea for the kiddos… adorable Butterfly Cupcakes. (also cute for baby showers & birthday parties!)
Next up – brilliant Easter Egg Cakes made from poundcake & custard (for yolks) look beautiful displayed on a colorful fruit plate:
P.S. For the Easter Egg Cakes, you’ll need an Egg Mold/Cake Pan. Here are a couple examples from Amazon: Egg Cake Pan & Egg Mini Treats Cake Pan (both by Wilton®).
Pictured above: Bird’s Nest Cookies are always appropriate for Easter – and this version looks especially chic!
And last but not least, if you’re feeling especially gourmet and have a decent amount of extra time on your hands, these stunning cakes are guaranteed show-stoppers!

Adorable! Love the chicks! Might have to made those for our Easter gathering.
love the flower pots! the mint is perfect
Love them all! I saw a trick for the “chick” ones… ad a half of a donut hole to the top of your cupcake to give him a better “roundness”
