New to decorating, got the picture off the Wilton site and followed the directions. Handle and leaves were made days ahead and allowed to dry. Cake and cookie eggs were made and assembled on the same day. Handle was put on Easter morning and promptly fell off and broke into 4 pieces. After the shock wore off and with the help of my husband I reinforced it with wire in the broken ends and on the back. No one even knew until they noticed the wire on the back (no time to camoflauge).
