Mini Easter Egg Cakes

April 16, 2011 by bblondie 32 Comments

 

As a child my favorite part of Easter was coloring Easter eggs.  I would get so excited when my mom would buy me the egg coloring kit at the supermarket.  The year they came out with the sparkle kit I didn’t even know what to do with myself!  I guess things haven’t changed much over the years πŸ˜‰  On a recent trip to Home Goods I found this adorable miniature egg cake pan.  Due to a complete lack of restraint when it comes to anything kitchen related and my love for miniature desserts, I had to buy it.
What a great find!  The only thing that could possibly be better than coloring eggs would be coloring egg cakes.  Where was this when I was a kid?!
There are so many possibilities when it comes to these miniature cakes.  You could make cute little egg shaped muffins for an Easter brunch, or tea cakes for a luncheon.  When it comes to decorating you could frost them with different colors of buttercream, glaze them, or cover them with fondant.  I whipped up my favorite chocolate cake and covered the eggs with fondant.  I love all the pastel colors associated with Spring and Easter so I used lavender, mint green, and rose pink food coloring to color my fondant.  I cut out different sized stripes, polka dots, and flowers to decorate them.  Working with fondant can be a little tedious, but I find the end result is totally worth the effort.  I hope you enjoy my grown up version of coloring Easter eggs!

 
 

My tips for working with fondant:

  • Always wrap fondant you are not using in plastic wrap.  It dries out very quickly.
  • One of my most useful tools is a small pizza wheel that I use for trimming excess fondant around cakes.
  • Powdered sugar prevents fondant from sticking to counters/rolling pin when you’re rolling it out.
  • I always keep a pastry brush on hand for getting rid of excess powdered sugar once the cake is covered.
  • A fondant smoother is key to achieving a clean, smooth finish.
  • I use a ruler and pizza wheel to cut all my stripes.
  • I use the small end of a pastry tip to cut out polka dots.
  • Have patience!
