I have been trying to think of what I'm going to make for a few days, and still have no idea . What are you making? I don't want to make a cake, because I feel like its my usual dessert and everyone is probably sick of it Any ideas? Maybe a trifle? I've never made one, so any suggestions or other ideas would rock! TIA

Traditional Easter Lamb cake. I have to decide what flavor, though he is more of a center piece than decoration.

I'm going to do two smaller cheese cakes instead of one big one. One I am thinking of just doing a plain cheese cake and topping it with ganache, and if they have pretty strawberries at the store dipping those in ganache as well. The other I am thinking a coconut flavored cheese cake, maybe with macadamia nuts in the crust either topped with a lime or pineapple curd. Kinda leaning more to the pineapple at the moment.

And then brownies and/or fruit pizza.

I don't make anything, since the kids have so much Easter candy, but my mom always made coconut cream pie for Easter.

For dinner with my husband's side of the family, a strawberry-blueberry short-cake. For my side of the family, a marble cake with oreo filling (trial run for my baby sister's graduation cake).

I was planning to make this cake:

until I woke up this morning with a stuffy head and a bad sore throat, so now I'm taking the easy way out with a lemon meringue pie. Hopefully, I'll get to make that cake another time soon. After all, it's not necessarily just for Easter.

That bunny bottom cake is hilarious! I may just have to make that myself! LOL

I was just going to make a orange creamsicle cake with smbc and lots of flowers on top 'cause I love that cake - but maybe I should do oreo cookie so I can make this one.

Thanks everyone!

I'm doing a cake with lemon curd filling, but now that you mention a trifle that sounds good too...

I am making a Strawberry Shortcake,a 14 layer chocolate cake,a peanut butter pie and a Red Velvet cake. We have a huge family with lots of different tastes. And I forgot a pecan pound cake also.

would love to do a bunny butt cake...

but I've been wanting to try Mermaid Bakery's vanilla cake..so I'm doing a strawberry butter cream and arranging fresh strawberries on it..that's Easter-y..no?

I was going to do a strawberry pie..so you could do that if you don't want to do cake..strawberry season is in full-swing!

I am making these.... prterrell let me borrow her idea. I have a variety of colored peeps for mine and am using malt ball speckled eggs. I'll post pic when done. (with a special thanks to prterrell )

edited to add: it takes something that cute to make me make a cupcake!!!

I am making peanut butter cupcakes with ganache on top. Something new to try.

I really wanted to make some fancy easter egg cookies, but we moved last weekend, so I'm also taking the easy way out and making a lemon meringue pie

Mil's b-day cake. lol

Chocolate chip cookies with the Easter M&Ms instead of chocolate chips.
Keylime cheesecake.

Same thing I make every Easter. Carrot cake with cream cheese icing. What can I do, my family loves it.

Strawberry pie-and not with the icky store-bought red goo, but with home made red goo.

I've decided to take it easy with Chocolate cream pie and a lemon trifle I would love to try Key Lime cheesecake, but I've never even made a cheesecake before!
They kind of intimidate me

the ugliest version of bakerella's chick pops in the world

oh, well they'll eat them anyway

A 1950s version of a bunny cut-up cake... coconut fur and all !

Carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Also a couple sugar free desserts, lemon meringue tartes and apple walnut tartes. Both of those are sweetened with agave nectar, so I will be able to eat them!!

Here's what I made for Easter.
