Beautiful cake what a great idea going in my favs!
very pretty what exactly is a pastillage egg??
Pastillage is similar to gum paste. It is made with confectioners sugar, gum tracaganth and water. Gum paste has glycerine and glucose added to it which makes is softer and easier to work with. It takes a little longer to get hard. I molded the egg, over a plastic egg shape covered in plastic wrap and then glued the halves together with royal icing.
