Easter is one of those holidays that I really loved as a kid, but sadly grew out of as I got older (I blame it on the lack of grown-up Easter egg hunts). But after seeing how excited my niece is about the upcoming holiday, I decided it was time to bring a little excitement back into my Easter life, too. And where better to start than in the kitchen with a lineup of delightful, delicious sweets and treats that could please even the pickiest of eaters? Nowhere, that’s where! So stop what you’re doing right now and check out the tasty-looking Easter dessert picks below:

I’m a huge fan of traditional carrot cake, but I could definitely get on board with this twist on the holiday recipe.

Not only is this cake unbelievably beautiful, but it’s the perfect refreshing pick for a pretty spring weekend.

Make 5, 10, or 12 this weekend. I’m sure that harrison guy would be happy about that. Can’t speak for Paul though. Because you said in a previous post that Paul is a dog. And dogs can’t talk.
