Mini Egg Shortbread Cookies

During the Easter Rush, Cake & Loaf used to go through more than 700 lbs of mini eggs. (That’s equivalent to the weight of two full-grown gorillas.) A customer request led to the creation of these mouth-watering cookies. Get this mini egg shortbread cookie recipe.

Chocolate Mini-Egg Scones

Cake and Loaf created hundreds of scone variations over the years, but they rarely did a chocolate base. Cocoa powder tends to dry out baked goods, and it took some testing to get the right balance to make this scone super chocolatey but still moist. Get their chocolate mini-egg scones recipe.
