How to Make Mini Easter Cakes
To make these pink Easter cakes, you’ll start by making your cake batter and coloring it pink with gel food coloring.
Spread your cake batter onto lined baking sheet, spreading evenly. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake. Cool completely. Use your cookie cutter to cut out 12 circles from your cake. You can save the extra later for a snack or use them to make a few cake pops or small trifle.
Make your teal buttercream by beating butter, powdered sugar and milk with an electric mixer. Once buttercream is smooth the teal gel food coloring and mix until evenly colored. Scoop teal buttercream into a piping bag with a round piping tip, Wilton #10. Frost six of your mini cakes. Top with an non-frosted cake round.
Make additional buttercream and add green gel food coloring. Scoop green buttercream into a piping bag with Wilton icing tip #233 attached. Add green frosting grass to the tops of your cakes.
Top with 4 or 5 candy eggs so your tops resemble Easter eggs in grass.
