Winter is officially over, and that brings some sweet news – it’s Spring dessert season! Even better? Whether you’re a home baker looking to elevate your sweets or a pastry pro prepping for a Spring menu, these festive ideas are fun, fast, and full of flavor. Each one is made easier and instantly more elegant with garnishes from The Pastry Depot.

Here are four Easter-themed treats you can whip up with ease – no stress, all style!

Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Who doesn’t love a classic carrot cake? This year, give this traditional Spring favorite a glow-up by using an Ateco Grass Piping Tip and green-tinted buttercream to create your “grass” or top traditional cream cheese frosting with Dobla Orange Chocolate Spaghetti. Then, just nestle a few cute (and yummy) Dobla Chocolate Carrots on top and you’re done!

“Dirt Cake” Chocolate Flower Pots

A nostalgic childhood favorite gets a gourmet upgrade! Layer rich chocolate mousse made with Irca Dark Mousse Mix, crumbled dark chocolate cream cookies, and mini gummy worms in Dobla Medium Terracotta Pots. Top with a sprinkle of crushed cookies, then garnish with a Dobla Chocolate Carrot and Purple Flower to bring this “garden” to life.

Lemon Honey Mousse Honey Pots

This adorable honey pot dessert is as elegant as it is easy to assemble. Use pre-made lemon curd – or make your own using Ravifruit Lemon Puree – and create a quick honey mousse using Irca Neutral Mousse Mix base sweetened with a touch of honey. Layer your lemon curd and honey mousse with vanilla cake in adorable Dobla Chocolate Honey Pots. (Pro Tip: We love using Pastry 1 Vegan Genoise Cake Mix and Gen Prep Gluten Free Sponge Cake Mix.) Before you know it, you have a light and sophisticated Easter dessert.

If you want to add a little crunch, check out our Cacao Barry Hazelnut Praline Grains for the perfect taste and texture. Bonus: The rich chocolate honey pot doubles as both vessel and garnish—no cleanup required!

Butterfly & Easter Egg Sugar Cookies

Turn classic sugar cookies from boring to festive with Spring holiday inspired chocolate garnishes. Bake your favorite sugar cookie base, making sure each cookie is around 2.5” in diameter. Once cooled, cover each with a thin layer of royal icing or vanilla frosting, then top with an elegant Dobla Dark Chocolate Lace Butterfly or Layered Egg. You can even color your frosting in playful pastels for an even more whimsical look. It couldn’t be any easier!
