Mini Easter Egg cake
For an Easter-themed treat that looks super impressive, but is actually really simple, all you need to do is make a large sponge cake, cover it in icing and decorate with mini chocolate eggs. The key to the wow factor is to arrange the eggs in a pattern rather than placing them randomly, which might require a little supervision.

Vanilla glaze doughnuts
Baking doughnuts with kids is a lot easier than frying and means less mess to clean up — which is always a plus. Jazz them up with vanilla glaze icing and lots of sprinkles and no one will believe you didn’t get them from the baker’s.
