Easter Bunny Chocolates & Other Sweets
In Milwaukie, Enchante Chocolatier is packed to the ceiling with beautiful and whimsical Easter offerings, including chocolates, gummies, home décor and anything you might want to pack an Easter basket with.

And the new Creators and Curators Market in Milwaukie Floral has all of your Easter tablescape needs, such as beautiful yarn carrots.
Too Sweet Cakes in Lake Oswego has Instagram worthy cookies available as singles or doubles for pre-orders through Sun, 3/28 (available for pickup Fri, 4/2 through Sun, 4/4). If you don't have time to pre-order, you can still find robin egg cupcakes, and other seasonal treats. Plus, you can also order seasonal spring sugar cookies in packs of six, which is the real number of sugar cookies we'd eat in one sitting after opening an Easter basket anyway.
Through Easter, FAT Cupcake, with locations in Oregon City and Happy Valley, is baking up their "Hoppy Easter" cupcake with pink champagne cake, raspberry mouse filling, vanilla buttercream and candied eggs on top.
Polka dot bunnies, solid chocolate roosters, and peanut butter Easter eggs are just a few of the yummy seasonal goodies you'll find at Puddin River Chocolates in Canby.
