Looking for Easter gifts you can make yourself? It’s the time of year that all sweet-tooths look forward to, when chocolate eggs line the supermarket shelves and the smell of freshly baked hot cross buns waft from bakery windows. To make your Easter even more special, make your own sweet treats to hand out this year. From cupcakes and cookies to cake pops and rocky road, with these Easter gift ideas, all you need to do is bake, wrap and gift!
There are plenty of kid-friendly recipes to get the little ones involved. With some supervision, they’ll love making our fun Easter freckles to give their friends as gifts. Or this Easter egg rocky road. Another favourite is our Easter egg hunt smash cake – though once they’ve helped make it, they’ll have even more fun smashing that one to get to the Easter gifts inside!
And of course, we can’t forget the traditional Easter baked treat – the hot cross bun. Below you’ll find recipes for traditional buns, as well as a chocolate version, and a gluten-free hot cross bun. You’ll really impress your loved ones when you show up to Easter lunch with some freshly-baked buns.
