Surprise Easter Egg Cake

This was a simple yet fun Easter cake with a surprise!

10" Chocolate cake with whipped dark chocolate ganache, covered in marshmallow fondant,
Sure to satisfy all major chocolate cravings this season.

Coloured white chocolate cooling in molds.
 Flo-coat is essential when colouring real chocolate to prevent ceasing.

Warm and level the egg in a saucepan on extra low.
Creating a smooth seam for other half to seal to.





Pre measure treat amount prior to heating the egg as to not waste time while your chocolate is cooling.  Seam warm edges and then smooth with your finger filling in any gaps.

Ready to decorate!

My image for inspiration from a site called Simple and Handmade.

My version of a tulip that turned out more like a daffodil.
Use a small leaf cutter, flatten,curl.  Then wrap around the bulb.  Do this another five times and there you go ....a flower!  Then do this 9 more times and you have enough for a cake!

Dry upside down for desired petal shape.

Now for the fun part....assembly.
Two tones of grass, flowers, butterflies and eggs ready to go
.

Ta da ....add the eggs and some more grass and its' done.

So simple yet very pretty.
A Very Happy Easter to Wendy and her gang!
