Chocolate Easter eggs are essential in my Easter Baskets.......
but, I find them on their own a tad lack luster.
pastel Candy Pearls, which are
very similar to dragees.
It just takes a dab of white chocolate applied with a toothpick to stick the Pearl to the Daisie
I wanted a to create a cozy nest for my eggs.
It was a challenge since I wanted it to be edible...of course.
There's nothing softer and sweeter than Cotton Candy.
For Easter gifts I nestled them in dot and striped egg cups.
This dotted egg was covered in the candy Pearls using milk chocolate in place of the white to adhere the candy Pearls.
To form the nonpareils cluster centers, I placed a few Daisie in a little dish and added the white chocolate just as I did for the Pearls. Then I sprinkled the nonpareils over the Daises until they were completely covered. After a few minutes they're dry and ready to apply to your eggs.

Pastel Nonpareils Egg
I brushed a generous coat of white chocolate and nonpareils in sections.
Despite the best efforts there were a few gaps that I touched up with a toothpick and another dab of white chocolate with a dusting of sprinkles.

On my last trip to Seattle my Daughter in-love took me to an amazing bakery supply shop.
It was literally jammed packed with every baking accessory imaginable in every nook and cranny, somewhat reminiscent of hunting through Grandmas attic.
In my search I discovered an edible glitter.
Yup, what more could I ask for than some added bling to my culinary confections.

your basket is filled with a bounty of chocolate eggs.

Thanks for stopping by my Auntie Jacquelines blog. Have you been to my Once Upon a Fairyland blog? I'm having a April give away called Gnomes Ahoy. You are welcome to come aboard ship!
I'm from Bellingham, where is the bakery supply store in Seattle? You did an amazing job of these eggs...art in the egg for sure!
Have a good week dear heart. Cheers to Pepsi and good bolony (my spelling version) sandwich days!
Love that!
Happy spring to you my dear!
Thanks for stopping by. I added the butterflies in photobucket. Under Edit there is section for animation. It is pretty limited as to what they have to add, but I thought the butter flies were pretty.
Beyond adorable, beyond cute, FABULOUS!!! I Love it! Did those Wilton flowers come in a pack? Don't remember seeing them! In my city we've a huge candy and cake decorating shop, so much fun! Lori

I apologize for not being by more often, & am sad to learn of your loss & know that prayers are lifting for you. Everyone would be pleased to receive one of these beauties.

I've missed coming by but I will be by more often now that I'm shaking the blues. I'm telling you it's the weather because the last few days have been sunny and I have felt more alive. :)
Ummm....gosh, I can't remember...did I miss an award from you (could have been someone else). Ugh!
Lots of love and hugs!!
Michelle :)
It's seems so much does happen when we are away from blogland. I'm praying for you and that this month is a month of renewal for you just as you said.
I'm also enjoying the better weather but not taking advantage of it like I should. I hope you stop by for a visit again real soon.
Best wishes and warm hugs...Tracy :)
