Chocolate Easter egg nest cakes

These no-bake cakes are a great way to use up your Easter eggs or an excuse to buy some more! 

Allow your child to do as much of the process themselves, where appropriate, is key in supporting their learning and development. So, think about if they can weigh, mix, chop or scoop independently, as this is where the real learning comes in!
