Bake sales are a great way to raise funds for schools or clubs, and we love a good excuse for cake! With Easter around the corner, these would look spectacular on the table after dinner too.

Ready, steady, bake!

It’s always nice if you can provide some healthy options on bake sale tables (there’s a lot of sugar going on there).

For a quick and easy Easter treat, elevate your basic rice krispie treat by popping some mini-eggs on top to create your tasty neat nests!

Since chocolate is so synonymous with Easter, a chocolate cake must be included. For a healthier alternative try this beetroot chocolate cake recipe. Although the recipe is slightly different from your usual chocolate cake, it’s still moist and perfect with a hot cup of tea or coffee. You can also get as creative as you like with the decor.

A cute cuddly lamb that cleverly uses marshmallows as it’s wool, what’s not to love? This incredibly delightful Easter lamb cake comes from Delish. We love how straightforward this cake is to make, yet how striking it is for a bake sale.

This Easter chocolate cake would make a yummy and indulgent Easter dessert or bake sale idea. Take a traditional chocolate cake recipe and transformed it into an Easter extravaganza, by covering with melted chocolate or double cream and topping it with mini-eggs.

This colourful vanilla cake recipe is a staple at bake sales, as it can transport easily and then sliced into bars. It’s a Madeira cake that is baked in a deep roasting dish (20 x 26cm) and decorated with icing and rainbow sprinkles.

Indulgent and sweet, Ina Garten declared this double-layered chocolate cake to be “the most fabulous chocolate cake that I’ve ever made,” when Food & Wine ran her recipe in 2007. You could decorate with some mini-eggs for extra Easter fun.

This adorable sleepy bunny cake from Style Me Pretty would be a great addition to any Easter bake sale table. Use your favourite cake recipe, decorate with buttercream, and then pop some frosted sugar cookies on top for the bunny ears. Neat!

Cute Easter chick macaroons, like these ones from Sweet Explorations, would make a lovely Easter bake sale idea or Easter dessert. If you’re stuck for time, you could buy pre-made lemon ones and just decorate them (and you don’t have to tell anyone either!).

Get creative with a packet of Oreos and create beautiful pink and white Easter bunnies. The idea is from Party Pinching, and you’d easily have a batch made up and ready to go for any bake sale because of their effortless design.

Julie’s Eats & Treats has a lovely recipe for Easter egg hunt sugar cookie bars, topped with green-dyed dessicated coconut grass and mini-eggs, that would be worthy additions to any bake sale table.

We can’t get enough of these chewy chick cookies from Everyday Dishes. They will be gobbled up in no time. If you’re stuck for time, you can just buy the cookies and decorate.

For bake sales, it’s always handy to offer some free-from alternatives for those with allergies. These cinnamon bunny cookies from Unconventional Baker are vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free. A bunny-shaped cookie cutter will make these easier to create.
