You probably know by now, that any excuse I get to throw together a themed baking extravaganza, I go at it like a crazy woman, sprinkles in one hand and my camera in the other. As Easter was fast approaching, I decided i’d try out some fun, quick & fairly simple treats and bakes so that anyone could give them a go without having a high level of baking skill. Maybe you’re the sort of person that normally messes up a cake from a packet, in which case, at least a handful of these are right up your street, and you have no excuse if these go wrong. Easter baking for me, involves a hell of a load of chocolate, eggs (be it creme eggs or mini eggs) and lot’s of pretty pastel shades and I feel like all those boxes are ticked with these treats. I decided to make these all in one day, which was certainly do-able for those of you reading this who might be throwing an Easter party this weekend. I however, just had a little pity party for one with chocolate in my hair, shredded wheat in my pockets and my kitchen looked an absolute mess. It was all completely worth it though, and everything is so tasty! I’ve listed all the ingredients below, but be sure to watch the video to see the methods! Happy Easter everybody, hope you all have an amazing, chocolate-fuelled weekend.
