Ingredients

For the Cakes

1 box white cake mix (or homemade vanilla cake batter), prepared as directed

For the Vanilla Glaze

2 cups confectioners’ sugar

2 tablespoons milk (plus more as needed)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Gel food coloring (pastel colors)

For the Filling & Decoration

Mixed Easter candy (jelly beans, Robin’s eggs, or malted eggs)

Additional candy for decorating

Instructions

Preheat the oven and grease a mini bundt cake pan with butter and flour to prevent sticking.

Prepare the cake batter according to the package directions (or your homemade recipe). Pour the batter evenly into the mini bundt pan.

Bake the cakes following the package instructions, adjusting the baking time slightly since mini cakes cook faster. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Cool the cakes completely. Once cooled, carefully slice a thin layer off the bottom of each cake so they stand upright.

Prepare the glaze. In a bowl, mix the confectioners’ sugar, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust thickness with more milk or powdered sugar if needed.

Color the glaze. Divide the glaze into small bowls and tint each portion with gel food coloring to create pastel shades.

Fill the cakes. Place the mini bundt cakes upright and fill the hollow centers with Easter candy.

Glaze the cakes. Drizzle the colored glaze over the cakes, making sure not to fill the center so the candy remains visible.

Decorate and set. Add extra candy decorations on top and allow the glaze to set before serving.

Notes

Grease the mini bundt pan thoroughly to prevent cakes from sticking.

Let the cakes cool fully before filling with candy to keep them from breaking.

You can swap the white cake mix with lemon, chocolate, or funfetti cake for different flavors.

A piping bag helps drizzle the glaze neatly.

These cakes are great for Easter parties, spring brunches, or edible gifts.
