More sugar eggs, but this time styled super elegantly with rubber-stamped fondant appliqués, as well as edible paper and royal icing accents! Filled with candy, they make beautiful and edible Easter gifts. Here, I show how to decorate them and provide two different presentation options.
NOTES:
Cast sugar dries quite hard, so this project - though theoretically completely edible - is primarily decorative, except for the candies inside.
