Vanilla Buttercream Easter Egg Cake
This cake looks impressive, but it's actually so easy to create. After outlining an egg shape, zig-zag pieces of paper across the surface and fill with colorful sprinkles.
This rich dessert is perfectly balanced with some sweet raspberries placed on top, and the texture of the mousse and meringue is like nothing you've ever had before.
