Easter Egg Surprise Inside Cake!

I made a cake in the shape of a giant egg. And trust me, it is not as hard as you would think!

To decorate the cake I just sectioned off four areas and decorated them each with royal icing or fondant. You can also use buttercream if you don’t want to mess with royal icing.

  2. Just wanted to say this is beautiful.
    I have been snooping round your blog and everything in it is so inspiring. I am actually a Pastry Chef (graduated not long ago) and I don’t think I can put my imagination to do all you do with cakes (though cakes aren’t my specialty.)
    Loved it.
    P.S. Hopefully one day I will be able to show you what I do.
    Keep the goodies coming. =D
