Looking for new and quirky Easter chocolate ideas and, well, Easter desserts in general? Well, we’ve compiled a list of 10 favourites. In alphabetical order, we start with Vancouver’s Beta5 before taking a detour through Calgary, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, and wrapping things up in Montreal and Halifax. Let’s hop to it!
1. Beta5 (Vancouver): Queen of Hearts Polygon Egg
For a fun sci-fi and 80s-themed Easter, look no further than Beta5’s intergalactic Queen of Hearts Polygon Egg. The shell is 66% dark chocolate and hand-painted with bright cocoa butter. But this wasn’t enough for this top chocolatier who have filled each of their polygon eggs with a raspberry caramel ganache, almond – earl grey praline, earl grey marshmallow, and roasted almonds.
2. Bobette and Belle (Toronto): Garden Bunny Easter Cake
The Gardens Bunny Easter Cake is a stunning confection consisting of three layers, each exquisitely adorned with vanilla buttercream and adorned with handcrafted garden flowers. The cake is elevated by an adorable golden chocolate Easter bunny, complete with sugar ear, presented in a towering 6-inch height. This cake is available in a range of delicious flavors, such as carrot, chocolate, raspberry, and mango passionfruit, and even accommodates gluten-free diets. Additionally, Bobette and Belle offers a delightful array of Easter-themed treats, including Animal Cake Pops, Theme Piped Meringues, and Easter Egg Cookies, all showcasing intricate and beautiful piping work.

If that’s not enough for you, we suggest exploring their variety of scones, danishes, and brioches.
4. The Grand Order of Divine Sweets (Toronto): Pollock Egg
Inspired by the action painting of Jackson Pollock, this Easter treat is perfect for fans of abstract art. No two Pollock Eggs are identical, though they are all available in milk, white, or dark chocolates. All of which are gluten-free; the dark chocolate egg being vegan. They come in two sizes, 5” tall and 10” tall, plus a bonus extra big size if you contact the team directly. As self-proclaimed geeks and lovers of many fandoms, they also offer a Harry Potter Egg, Zombie Bunnies, and Splatter SMASH Eggs.

Not only are these cookies made from scratch, but they also feature locally sourced eggs and creamery butter. Be careful, or you might become obsessed with these cookies!
6. Ooey Gooey Bakeshop (West Regina): Robin’s Nest Cake
This cake is an absolute Easter sensation. Picture it – 6 inches of triple layered chocolate cake, filled with chocolate ganache, and smothered in vanilla buttercream. But it doesn’t stop there!

Rest assured, no bunnies were harmed in the creation of this delectable dessert. This exceptional dessert is a true representation of the gourmet culinary scene, and with more than 25 bakery locations throughout the province of Quebec, it is a must-try.
