Easter and my Dad’s birthday can fall on the same week, so we typically like to celebrate the two together. It gives us a chance for the family to get together, which I love, and we can offer to host. Hosting is one of my favorite things, and I am fortunate to have a husband who also likes to cook. We cook our meals together daily, making the time extra special when we host. Part of hosting is getting to pick the menu, and without a doubt, we will be offering traditional easter desserts.
Whether you are looking for a classic, fun, or whimsical treasure, these 15 popular easter desserts are perfect for any Easter or family gathering.
