If your little one loves a sweet treat (and to lick the mixing spoon!) there is no better way to spend some quality time together than in the kitchen. The long Easter weekend offers the perfect opportunity to get making some ‘speggtacular’ sweets that are perfect for sharing. Of course, getting creative with food can get a little bit messy, but ACE’s varied product range offers a solution for every stain to help you keep your surfaces spotless and your clothes clean. We’ve pulled together our top Easter treats to ensure your yummiest Easter yet!
Celebration Biscuits
Perfect for the creative bakers, these pretty biscuits are a bound to be a show stopper at any Easter spread. Play with colours and patterns to make the biscuits as eye catching as you wish – try polka dots, stripes and zigzags on egg-shaped biscuits, and baby animals if you’re feeling adventurous. We love this BBC Good Food recipe that uses zingy apricot jam to craft a yolky egg design too. Your loved ones won’t be able to resist!
Full recipe available at BBC Good Food.
Lemon Meringue Cupcakes
If making cupcakes is a pasttime you and your kids adore, this recipe will add a pop of Easter magic to the mix. Combining the perfect spring flavour with adorable Easter chick meringues, these are sure to create endless kitchen fun. Plus, who doesn’t love a lemon meringue pie?
Full recipe available at Cupcake Gemma.
Crispy Squares
These are super easy to make. Simply melt marshmallows and combine with the kiddie’s favourite Rice Krispies. They can be moulded into squares like these ones or mix it up and create a bird’s nest version fit for the bank holiday weekend. Top with Mini Eggs or Smarties and sprinkles for a pop of spring colour and enjoy!
Full recipe available at Rice Krispies.
Chocolate Bark
This one is perfect for messy little fingers, involving lots of gooey, sticky melted chocolate! Choose your favourite from white, milk, dark, or better yet use more than one to create swirls in your design. Melt the chocolate and pour into a lined baking tray, then decorate with a variety of celebratory toppings while the mixture sets. Why not try sweets, dried fruit or even edible flowers?
Full recipe available at Jamie Oliver.
Sweet Easter Bread Twists
What could be better than waking up on Easter morning to warm, sweet home-made bread? Warm, sweet home-made bread with chocolate eggs in of course! This one is great for those who are regulars in the kitchen and taste as good as they look.
Full recipe available at bakeawaywithme.
To ensure a squeaky clean Easter, pick up a bottle of ACE stain remover in the laundry aisle while shopping for your baking ingredients at Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s (or lots of other retailers).
We’d love to see what you’ve been baking over the long weekend at @ACECLEANUK on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Wishing everyone a very happy Easter from the ACE team!
