This Easter cake is a fun project to do with the kids. Topped with a DIY marshmallow bunny and tons of chocolate egg candies, it’s fun and pretty simple to make.
Easter cakes are right up there on my favourite cakes to make. If you’ve been following this blog or my Instagram, you would notice that I love pastel colours. And I adore all things cutesy, so I feel really at home with Easter cakes. And don’t even start with the chocolates!
For this cake, I thought it would be so much fun if it’s colourful not just on the outside but on the inside as well. So I made one recipe of the The Ultimate Vanilla Cupcake and divided the batter into three equal parts and gave it different colours and flavours. I chose to flavour it strawberry, lemon and orange. I used flavoured emulsions and extracts but adding flavour is optional. You can just colour the batter and not flavour it.
As always, I used my fave Italian Meringue Buttercream for the frosting and coloured it pink, yellow and orange. Here’s a tip for you, make the pink and yellow butter cream first. If there are any leftovers with the two colours, you can combine them together to make the orange colour. I had to add additional orange gel colour to give it a deeper shade of orange.
Check out this video on how to make this Easter cake.
When I first tried making the marshmallow bunny topper, I did not intend it to be on a stick. But for the life of me, I just could not make the bunny hold together. The bunny would not sit straight and the ears kept falling over. Sigh.
I decided to insert a lollipop stick and hey, I got a marshmallow pop. I just love when happy accidents happen.
I used large marshmallows for this project but I can imagine using smaller ones too, to make smaller bunnies. I think that would be cute too ;)
