Spring is a time for celebrating! It seems this season is always busy with a party of some kind, whether it's a baby or bridal shower, graduation, Mother's day, Easter, or spring birthday. Today's collection of spring cakes is perfect for all that and more! Fruity, light, and beautiful, these pretty cakes are just begging to be served at a garden party, spring brunch, or tea. I made sure to include a variety to suit any skill level, whether you're a beginner cake decorator or seasoned professional.

I've got a thing for transforming nostalgic treats from my childhood into from-scratch treats for my own kids. So far we've tackled brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts, pink lemonade, pizza rolls, and even homemade peanut butter! Today we're adding a cup of dirt recipe to the mix--it's 100% from-scratch (even the Oreos, if you want!) and totally kid-approved.

Coconut fans, this one is for you! These coconut cupcakes have been a long time coming. After many requests for a cupcake version of my coconut cake, I am finally sharing my carefully tested and perfected recipe with you today!

I know the concept of egg cookies might seem a bit odd, but seriously, have you seen cuter cookies?! They are tasty too--similar to lemon bars in taste and texture, with a crisp, buttery shortbread base, tart lemon filling, and a dusting of powdered sugar on top. They would be so fun for Easter!

I can't think of a more cheery flavor combination than lemon and blueberry. These lemon blueberry cupcakes are pure sunshine and happiness in cupcake form--they'll brighten up any bad day!

With Easter just over two weeks away, I thought now would be a good time to round up my favorite, best Easter desserts. This list features several of my top spring cakes as well as cookies, tarts, pies, and candies. Lots to choose from, and all are winners in my book!

If dessert salad seems like a bit of an oxymoron to you, you're not alone. Growing up, I always avoided ambrosia salad. There was something about it having marshmallows but still being called a salad that I just couldn't seem to get behind...until I finally tried it. Oh, was I ever missing out!

These moist, tender, fluffy, and oh-so-flavorful carrot muffins are absolutely perfect for spring! They're not as sweet as carrot cake, but I do top them with just a sprinkling of turbinado sugar, which adds the perfect touch of sweetness and a lovely textural crunch.

Similar to my recent ding dong cake, this strawberry shortcake cake takes a smaller, individually-portioned treat and turns it into a party-ready dessert for a crowd! Today's recipe combines not-too-sweet vanilla cake with juicy, fresh macerated strawberries and vanilla whipped cream frosting. It's light, perfectly sweet, and absolutely amazing with spring and summer strawberries!

These carrot cake cookies are one of my favorite cookies, even if they are made with vegetables. Just like my carrot cake cheesecake, I think a lot of my love for them has to do with the cream cheese frosting piled on top!

This sunshine-y lemon cake recipe is the real deal. It uses no extract, no pudding mixes, and no fancy ingredients--just fresh-squeezed, real lemon flavor. Truly the perfect balance of sweet and tart, this recipe will be a hit with lemon lovers, or anyone who enjoys their desserts on the "lighter", less rich side of things.

I received so many requests for this lemon blueberry cake, and I am excited to finally share it with you today! With lemon notes in both the icing and the cake and a bounty of blueberries throughout each layer, this cake is so fruity and light. It's absolutely perfect for spring and would be a very welcome addition to your Easter dessert table this year.

I gave this strawberry cake recipe a makeover a few years ago, and I'm so excited to be sharing it with you again today! This cake is packed full of fresh strawberry flavor (none of that artificial stuff or Jell-O), from the cake itself to the jam filling. To finish, we'll seal it all in with a whipped cream cheese frosting that's not too sweet. Sounds heavenly, right?

Step aside, carrot cake--these Easter sugar cookies are about to take over as the star of the Easter dessert table! With their colorful, sugared bodies and and tiny icing faces, these cookies look just like your favorite marshmallow Peeps, minus the gooey filling.

If I had to choose a favorite cake recipe on my blog, I think this carrot cake recipe would be it. Maybe I'm biased, but even though I'm wildly in love with my white cake, vanilla cake (a reader favorite!) and chocolate cake, this carrot cake is hands-down the one I will reach for first every time.
