Best Easter Treats

One thing I look forward to in the spring is making treats. I think it's because somehow Easter treats are better than any other holiday treat--the colors are far prettier, the cookie cutters are way cuter (cuddly lambs and baby ducks are irresistible), and, let's face it, life just wouldn't be the same without Cadbury's Creme Eggs. I'm looking forward to getting in the kitchen with my four year old sous chef and making something fabulous, inspired by these amazing-looking sweets.

1. This speckled cake is almost too pretty to eat. 
2. Homemade peeps that are no doubt a million times better than store bought. 
3. The perfect little bite: bird's nest macaroons.
4. Homemade chocolate covered peanut butter eggs--I'd make these for any occasion, actually. 
5. So much detail in this decorated Easter cookie.
6. Aren't these chocolate cheesecake eggs are adorable? The "yolk" is passionfruit sauce!
7. Caramel bird's nest cupcakes that are as pretty as they are sweet.
8. Spring's prettiest colors in one beautiful rainbow ruffle cake.
