Easter Dessert

I like to bake (not always very well!) and eat dessert, so I am usually in charge of the dessert for our family holidays. This Easter I am trying to come up with a dessert that will satiate the kids, my Mother-in-law who gives up sweets for Lent and my husband (me too!) who prefers chocolate desserts.   I am also competing with the candy!  The dessert could either be a decant chocolate or a light confection, it is a tall order, but I am excited to rise to the occasion!

I found two very rich chocolate cakes, that would certainly satisfy my sweet tooth, but would they be too much with all the Easter candy?

This Brown-Butter Cake comes with recipes for different flavored mousse filling and butter cream frosting.  So many delicious choices!

Lisa suggested this Raspberry White Cake.  While she likes fruit, especially raspberries, and cake combined, my husband and I are not fans but, I do love meringue icing, and if it would work, I would swap out the raspberries for chocolate!

This may be just the right cake!  Light and airy, with meringue icing and shaved coconut!  I would make a chocolate sauce for the side.

These cupcakes could be made from a box (I won't tell if you don't!) and then frosted with your favorite flavor frosting.  I would do a semi-sweet chocolate frosting and make the cookies in all different Easter shapes.

I could not resist this Bunny Cake! It looks so cute and I bet it is delicious!

Since there are so many options to chose from, I am going to forward this post to my family and see what they like best.   What would you make?
