Anyone actually baking for easter ?

Question

what are you baking - i made some hot cross buns but they were rubbish so im making a chocolate cake and decorating it with little eggs and stuff - what are you making?

Answer 1

Yes, I baked some little Easter buns last night with my three year old. He chose to have them decorated with orange icing and 3 mini eggs on each bun and I quote: "Because I'm three daddy, that's why there are three eggs on each bun" (as said to my husband when he asked why there were three eggs on each of the buns).

Answer 2

Punch bowl cake:
Bake a Betty Crocker chocolate cake and then let it cool. Slice the cake into about 1” cubes. Then mix up 2 packs of instant chocolate pudding. You will also need 1-2 tubs of cool whip and a bag of either heath, or Oreo cookies, or something else like that that you like.
Take a punch bowl; put a layer about 1-1 ½ inches high of cake. Then pour on half of the pudding on top of the cake (try to spread it out evenly). On top of that layer put 1-1 ½” layer high of cool whip. Then take your crumbled Oreos or heath (or other thing) and put that on top. You want it to cover the cool whip so that you can barley see it. Then repeat the layers one more time or until you reach the top pf the punch bowl (finishing the top with the heath/Oreos/ect. Put foil or some wrap over the bowl and if at all possible let it sit in the fridge over night. The longer it sits the more pudding gets absorbed into the cake the better it is.

Answer 3

I don't know if this is baking..
I'm making baskets out of
coconut, kind of like macaroons.
dipping them in chocolate,
filling them with coconut cream,
sprinkled with white chocolate
that has been colored green(shaved)
looks like grass..then adding caramel
filled eggs and chocolate covered
marshmallow eggs. Got to have
something for the kids. Right...
I just keep them in the frig till the
ham is done. The bread I baked
yesterday. Can't wait for everyone
to finally arrive.

I am making the Easter cake. I take milk, yeast, salt, flour, yellow eggs(5), butter, sugar, raisn, nuts. All mix and wait a little. Then put all that in the baking form and bake in the oven. Very tasty thing. We call it kulich.

Answer 5

I've made hot cross buns and a rather deliciously naughty chocolate victoria sponge cake filled with real dairy cream and if my family don't visit soon I'll have to slice and freeze it if only to stop me from eating all in one go.

Answer 6

I just baked a batch of garlic bread dough yesterday, but I don't think it will last until tomorrow, so I'll probably making another batch of dough for Easter to bake.

Other than that, there's a ham in the fridge just waiting to be glazed and baked.

Answer 7

My family eats chicken or turkey, no ham. Also no sweets as in candy, etc. I low carb, my son low calories, my husband eats anything.
I am fixing baked glazed turkey, potatoes, gravy, homemade honey wheat bread with butter, steamed vegggies, and for dessert; angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream. I will also have whole eggs naturally colored with veggies, then halved and made into deviled eggs.
Our kids and grandkids are grown so no Easter candy, etc.

Answer 8

im making chocolate eggs; i have these half egg moulds (large ones like easter eggs) You fill them up, wait for your melted chocolate to set (i melt down my fav chocolate bar) then when they're hard take them out of the mould and stick together with a bit of white melted chocolate between the two. i give them as gifts for easter. oh and you can decorate them and stuff. real personal gifts.

Answer 9

on your cake you should put some sugar coated chocolate mini eggs in the middle of it and put chocolate Flakes around the outside of the eggs so it looks like a nest!! its what im doing!!

Answer 10

I'm only going to make chocolate shredded wheat nests with mini eggs for my daughter. I normally do a full roast, but I'm on a fruit and veg only detox diet, so I'm not going to bother.
