Anybody ever made these before? I am making some tonight! They are so easy!! Well at least the making the shell so far has been easy. I bought a kit to make chocolate eggs with since Hobby Lobby wasn't carrying the Wilton molds and they are working great!

When my children were in elementry school twenty some odd years ago. I had mad three different sugar Easter eggs for my childrens' teacher's. Before I put the two halves together I put in cute little trinkets some I made and some I bought. They were so adorable and the ladies just loved them.

I never knew they were considered easy to make. I always thought they looked so fragile and beautiful! Maybe I will try one then. Just what I need ..another "just have to try it."

Sheri- Without the egg or merinque powder they would be super fragile and eventually break down. My mom has ones that she made in the 70's/80's. I made some yesterday and need to work on my piping technique! I have one egg put together and another that I might leave as halves but I am not sure.
After this type of sugar hardens you need a fine grit sand paper or very careful scraping with a sharp knife to get rid of any parts that aren't supposed to be there and to smooth it a bit more.

You can make them without the egg too. I have made sugar cake toppers with sugar that has been dampened with just water and packed into a mold. I don't know if that makes them more fragile or not but once dry they hold up pretty well and are still white. I hope you will post pictures of how they turn out.
Blessings, Sheri

I have never made them. They sound fun to make though! I would love to hear how they turned out!
