Peter Cottontail is hopping his way down the bunny trail as we quickly make our way towards Easter 2025. With the holiday right around the corner, and barely any time to recover from Saint Patrick’s Day, there’s much to do. Eggs need to be dyed, Easter baskets need to be made, and most importantly, the ham needs to be done before the in-laws are over. Instead of stressing, give yourself a break and pass the goodie-making to the wonderful bakeries and chocolate-makers around the city of Pittsburgh. From intricately made cakes and pies to adorable bunny-shaped decorated cupcakes and traditional hot cross buns, these bakeries are sure to bring joy and deliciousness to your holiday table.
2025 Easter Goodies in Pittsburgh
Sarris – Chocolates
We’d be lying if we said that biting into a Sarris Chocolate Bunny on Easter morning doesn’t still brings a smile to our faces. Whether you’re stuffing an Easter basket for your children or decorating the dessert table, Sarris has decadent chocolates to get your fill. This year they even have a BashEgg that comes with a mini wood hammer to smash open the chocolate egg full of chocolate mini pretzels and jelly beans.
Enrico Biscotti – Ricotta Pie
For Italians, a Ricotta Pie is a crucial part of the Easter table setting. At Enrico Biscotti, their Italian cheesecake is made with sweetened ricotta filling atop a pasta frolla crust. It’s a bit less sweet than your traditional cheesecake and has a lighter texture. These pies are available only at the store in the Strip District. Just be sure to pick up a loaf of Easter Bread while you’re there too!
A Sweet Morsel Co. – Easter Cupcakes
If you’re having a gathering, it’s good to have the widely beloved cupcakes on hand. A Sweet Morsel Co. takes the cute treat game up a notch with Easter decorations that are entirely edible. Get the Easter Cupcakes Sampler for an array of bunny, chick, and Easter egg and grass field designs. They come in half chocolate and half vanilla with a mix of white cake and chocolate fudge icing.
Oakmont Bakery – Hot Cross Buns
These fluffy Hot Cross Buns are made with sweet fruits and marked with a cross to represent Jesus’ crucifixion. In Oakmont Bakery’s version of this traditional baked good you’ll find candied orange and lemon peel and glazed strawberries or a version with raisins. Just be sure to order you order at least two days ahead of time to get your buns before Easter.
Milkshake Factory – Chocolates
Make sure the chocolate you purchase this holiday is rich and creamy, made with the finest cocoa. The Milkshake Factory has been making chocolates since 1914 and it shows in their deliciously perfected recipe. Choose from chocolate-covered pretzels, chocolate-dipped strawberries, various barks, gourmet gift sets, and much more.
Gaby et Jules – Macarons
Hop into the spring season and celebrate Easter with pastel-colored macarons. These little wonders are made from scratch using French techniques to make sure you get the most authentic macaron possible. Gaby et Jules’ Signature Collection includes the flavors Lemon, Earl Grey, Pistachio, Rose, Sea Salt Caramel, and Coffee.
Pollak’s Candies – Chocolates
No matter what type of molded chocolate you’re looking for, Pollak’s Candies carries a large selection of Easter shapes. You can choose from bunnies, crosses, chicks, baskets, and small foil wrapped chocolates too. If you’re looking for something a little different, they also have Oreo cookie bunny butts and Nutter Butter cookie chicks.
