What type of cake is good for Easter?

Light, spring-inspired flavors pair perfectly with the season!  Lemon, carrot, vanilla, and coconut are great choices for Easter.

How do you make a cake moist and fluffy?

Use room-temperature ingredients, don’t overmix the batter, and add ingredients like sour cream, buttermilk, or oil for extra moisture. Baking at the right temperature and not overbaking also helps!  Be sure to check out our tips on how to make your cakes taste homemade for that bakery-quality flavor in every bite!

How to decorate an Easter cake easily?

Decorate your Easter cake with pastel frosting, simple buttercream designs, and festive toppings like Cadbury eggs, jelly beans, mini chocolate eggs, sprinkles, or edible flowers. A dusting of powdered sugar over a stencil adds an easy decorative touch!

Can I make my Easter cake ahead of time?
