It’s my birthday today *birthday dance* which only means one thing: it’s CAKE DAY! As Easter is this weekend too, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get my mini eggs out and do another Baking With Bexa stylee post. You can catch up on my previous 2019 culinary creations here, here and here.
Fun fact: A bag of Cadbury mini eggs has approx. 25 mini eggs. I used FIVE bags so this cake includes 125 mini eggs! Impressive huh! Disclaimer: You should probably only make this if you are a big fan of mini eggs.
You will need:
A ridiculous amount of Cadbury mini eggs
Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Style Icing
Lemon Flower and Leaves Decorations
There are plenty of cute and affordable cake decorations out there so let your creative side run wild. I picked these pretty pastel flowers as they were giving me alllll the bright cheerful Spring/Easter vibes.
Betty Crocker is an absolute hero, she makes baking SO EASY! She did a fab job with my Love Heart Cupcakes. Here, just simply add cake mix, eggs, water and oil into a bowl and ta-da, step 1 is complete!
As I am now a serious baker (four baking posts in one year makes you a pro, right?!) I treated myself to some fancy baking tins. Check this out… these have a spring release mechanism so the side easily detaches from the base without damaging the cake. Cool, yes? I love gadgets so this impressed me more than necessary.
Top tip: After baking is complete, pop the cakes in the fridge to cool down for 10-15 minutes (it speeds things along if you just wanna start decorating and you have zero patience, like me).
Once suitably cooled, it’s time to secure the cakes together with delicious cream cheese… nom nom nom.
My advice here is to be very generous with the cream cheese, because… cream cheese *insert heart eyes*.
LOOK I’VE CREATED A GIANT MACAROON!! (or over-sized Oreo biscuit).
Make sure you use the entire tub of cream cheese on this cake. I mean, it’s not Easter without a sugar high.
…And now to get all creative with the decorating!
All you need is roughly 125 mini eggs handy… I’ve probably eaten a good 25 by now though.
I started off all nice and neat… then BOOM! Mini egg explosion (that escalated quickly)…
Here is my carrot cake-mini egg Easter Cake which was actually surprisingly easy to make.
Almost too pretty to eat (almost).
In my opinion it tasted delish, but I am a self-confessed mini egg addict and carrot cake has always been a personal fave. However, my sister who told me she doesn’t like 1) carrot cake, 2) cream cheese and 3) mini eggs admitted that it was very nice and ate a huge slice. Thumbs up from the fussy sibling = #winning.
Hope you enjoyed my Easter/Birthday baking edition! Do you like carrot cake and mini eggs? If so, this could be THE ONE for you <3 Are you doing any baking this weekend? Let me know in the comments – I’d love to hear from you! Hope ya all have a fantastic Easter weekend, eating alllll the cakes and chocolates!
Was an actual joy to eat 🙂 never knew how nice 125 mini eggs could taste!
Happy Birthday Bexa 🥳😎😘

Thank yooou Dorothy, I am glad you approved <3 xxxx
OMG this looks sooooooo delicious! Seriously, I adore mini eggs and am completely on board with a mini egg explosion. Creativity rules, you can never be too strict with your guidelines 🙂 I love your Baking with Bexa series, even if I know full well I’ll probably never be trying any of them, haha. You really do need to move closer to me, Flora would be in heaven to have you to play with! Happiest of Birthdays too, lovely, I hope you have an amazing day and are thoroughly spoilt like you deserve to be! Lisa xxxxx
Author
Thank you sooo much Lisa, you are so sweet! Yay for a mini egg explosion! 😀 Aww yes, I’d love to make cakes with Flora, that sounds like so much fun! And thank you lovely, I had a brilliant birthday 🙂 Hope you are having a fantastic Easter weekend <3 xxxx
That cake looks so pretty. I do not like cake boxes or already mede icing, but to each their own 😁😁 But the decoration is ❤❤❤❤
Happy birthday Bexa, hope you have a lovely day and I wish you all the best.
Author
Thank you so much Marta, that’s so kind of you and I’m glad you like the decoration! <3 xx
Happy birthday lovely! That cake looks AMAZING and believe me I am a BIG fan of mini eggs. Might be worth buying the big bags they do down the Eater aisle – not sure if it’s cheaper though than the smaller ones? It looks delicious.
Author
Thank you so much Rachael! Haha, ahhh yes that is a very smart idea, I’ll have to remember that for next time 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the post and Happy Easter! <3 xx

Happy Birthday Bexa! I hope you had a wonderful day. 🙂 I’m a big fan of Betty Crocker’s baking kits too and, although I’m not a huge fan of carrot cake, this looks delicious! I love how you’ve decorated it with an explosion of Mini eggs – perfect for Easter.

Now, that is an amazing cake. I would love to try your carrot cake with mini eggs and cream cheese frosting. What a great way to celebrate your birthday along with Easter. I will be making a pumpkin pie for Easter because it was requested.
Author
Thank you so much Deb! Ooh pumpkin pie sounds nice, hope you enjoy! Happy Easter! <3 xx
I hope you had a lovely birthday! Birthdays are a great excuse for some yummy cake. Although I don’t like carrot cake I would use a different mix. You have made a pretty cake. I mean 125 mini eggs seems reasonable 😂🙈. Mini eggs are so good! I hope you enjoyed eating your yummy cake! I am going to make Easter nests this weekend ☺️Xxxx
Author
Thank you so much for the lovely comment Lauren! Ha ha, the amount of mini eggs did amuse me a lot 😀 Ooh Easter nests sound delicious, enjoy! Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend lovely <3 xxxx
Happy birthday, Bexa! I hope you enjoyed your celebration and will have a happy and healthy year to come. I love that you decided to celebrate with a mini egg easter cake! I love how you nicely piled the mini eggs on top of the cake. It looks super delicious. I know I’d appreciate the sweets! Thanks for sharing your magic, hehe ♥

Aww thank you so much for the lovely comment Nancy! I’m glad you enjoyed the post and appreciate the mini eggs too! <3 xx
This cake looks and sounds amazing! Anything that has the added ingredient of mini eggs is a win for me, I usually make cup cakes as making a whole cake is usually too far for me but I think I’d be able to give this a go! Great post x
Author
Thank you so much Aaliyah! Yaaay for mini eggs! Same, cupcakes are my usual but this was surprisingly easy to do 🙂 Hope you enjoy! xx
Happy belated Birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day!
This looks absolutely delicious! I love baking, especially around Easter! I made mini egg brownies and creme egg cupcakes last year which was fun! I’ll definitely give this a go, I’m a biiiiig fan of mini eggs!

Author
Thank you so much Hels, you are so kind! Wow, mini egg brownies and creme egg cupcakes sound sooo delicious, will defo have to try! Hope you enjoy the cake! <3 xx
Ooo, I love this! Although I don’t think that many mini eggs would make it onto the cake (one for the cake, one for me 😂)
Love cake mixes take the hassle out of the intricate of baking, doesn’t it?!
Hope you had a lovely birthday and have a lovely Easter! I am living for this nice weather!

It’s unusual to see an Easter-ish cake that isn’t entirely chocolate, and I love carrot cake with cream cheese icing so I’ll have to give this ago. It looks delicious!

Thank you so much Claire, glad you like it! <3 xx
WOW that looks amazing Bex! Wish I could have some 🤣

This looks fab, I love all the cute decorations. I might not always be much of a fan of carrot cake but I love Mini Eggs. Hope you had a fab birthday. I’d love to do some baking today but I’m helping to cook roast dinner instead later!

Honestly Bexa will NEVER get over how amazing your photography is. But this cake looks soooo nice, if you were a cake bakery i’d order 10 of them!

Aww! Thank you so much Ellie, you are super sweet! <3 xx
Springform pans like that legit changed my baking life! No more hoping the entire thing didn’t stick and crumble away while I tried to get them out Haha! Your cake is so cute! It’s like the perfect expression of spring and the fact that your used mini eggs just makes it completely irresistible! I admit that though I swear if sugar for the most part I always treat myself to mini and Cadbury eggs at Easter. I can’t help it, they have been my favorite candy since I was a kid. No regrets on the bags I’ve wolfed down this weekend except now I wish I’d turned them into a cake Haha!
I hope you had an amazing birthday because you deserve it!
Author
Aww, thank you so much for the sweet comment Kristin! You are so kind 🙂 Yayy for mini eggs, they are the best! And thank you lovely, my birthday was great, hope you had a fab Easter! <3 xx

I was waiting to read about the making of this gorgeous cake:) I love the fact that you did a carrot cake for your BD cake:) I always go for the chocolate and I am bored with it:) you decorated it beautifully! those flower decorations are amazing. You kinda inspired me for the next time I will have to decorate a cake. Hope you had an amazing time on your birthday and that you enjoyed the cake.

Happy Belated Birthday Bexa! Hope you had a fab day! This recipe looks like a lot of fun and I’ve got to say I think I gained about 10 pounds just reading it! I think this recipe could be something I could possibly make with the 20,000 chocolate eggs my son has brought back from his hunt. Thanks for the inspo!
Happy Easter!

Well, we can now add a love of mini eggs to things we have in common… I’m seriously starting to wonder if we are the same person but in two bodies! 😉 Though, I’m less keen on carrot cake but I don’t think that would put me off. You’ve done a beautiful job and this looks absolutely heavenly! Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Bexa xx
Author
He he he, yaay for mini eggs! We do seem to have a lot in common, don’t we! 😀 Thank you so much for the sweet comment lovely, the birthday was fab, hope you had a great Easter too! <3 xx
