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. OH MY!!!!!!!!! I can’t stand the cuteness! WOW! I was so surprised to see that chick in there, even though REALLY I shouldn’t have been 🙂 I should and DO always expect something incredible here! I was distracted by the awesome designs on the outside and momentarily forgot to expect a surprise inside!
    I hope I win, but I might almost prefer the cookies 🙂
    Ok, I am going to check out some of the other blogs! Thanks for doing this!

  3. Oh my gosh. We need a tutorial on how to get the Easter chick in the cake. Please?!? I’m always game for cold hard cash too. I will be following you on Twitter momentarily.

  4. You are killing me here with your creativity! I can imagine the squeals of delight from your kids when they realized the cutest little chick was nestled inside the egg. How delightfully wonderful. You are not “i am baker” you are “i am super creatively talented baker” (but I know you are also too modest to change your blog title) This post set the happy tone for my day!

  5. I love all of your clever designs–so cute! I just made your rainbow cake for my daughter’s 4th birthday party and everybody LOVED it 🙂 Thanks for all the inspiration and baking know-how you provide.
