Hi, I'd suggest you do need them on some kind of base unless you had days to let the fondant set really hard. You could completely cover a plain piece of card in fondant if you don't have anything special.

I have pulled my practice ones off the card before and they've stayed in one piece but that was weeks later.

Hope it works out, whatever you decide icon_smile.gif

I wish I'd come across this earlier!!!! I'll have to wait until next year to try it as everywhere I went yesterday was sold out of Creme Eggs! Who'd have thought?!

Thanks icon_smile.gif

I did a beginners cake decorating course a while back and I got the idea of decorated eggs from my tutor. This year I made a bunny version which is in my photos and I have a little mouse cake topper that I adapted to have a chocolate egg inside too.

Once you experiment, you'll come up with all kinds.

In my opinion, the fondant circle is no enough. You have a fairly heavy chocolate egg to support.

I went and looked at the cadbury bunny... icon_surprised.gif another inspired creation,

I may just have to try one of those.

Is it the sleepy door mouse that has candy in it. I just love that one.

Thankyou!!

That's right, the mouse in my photos is just a fondant cake topper but this week I've made 25 like that but with a Lindt Choc egg body (bit smaller than a creme egg)

I have little choir boys for Christmas made of a small Mars Bar in my photos too. I've just edited the decription, I forgot to say what was hidden underneath their clothes!!

Hi

I added my successful Lindt Mouse to my photos earlier icon_smile.gif

Here in the uk I wasn't expecting to worry if the sunshine in my kitchen would melt any of the chocolate (especially in April) but take a look at this...nearly had me in tears as I had 2 hours to finish them and no eggs left!!

Happy Easter
