Why go the trouble? Who has the time for it? Just go to the store and grab Kinder (or other brands), and you are good to go.
Well, I love playing in the kitchen WHEN I have the time. But even when I don’t really have, I make the time for an extra memory for the kids and myself 🙂
This way, I can fill whatever I like inside the eggs as I know what the kids like, so there is nothing that would be wasted, from sweets, gift cards, or even a diamond 😉
Equipment
- Wafer Paper
- Fondant/gumpaste/modelling chocolate (whichever you like)
- Chocolates/marshmallows/gift card/ or even a ring (is just an idea)
- Chocolate wafers/melts/chips/ or even regular chocolate and/or baking chocolate
- Mold in the shape of an egg
- Scissor
- Pastry brushes
- Cookie cutter/paper puncher
- Food colors
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate wafer in 30 seconds intervals, don’t burn.
- Fill the egg mold, let harden. If you have the 3D egg mold, it would have 2 cavities to make a whole egg shape. If you don’t, just do it twice.
- Meanwhile, make decorations using fondant (or others I mentioned). Color, shape, cut as you please.
- Once chocolate harden, unmold it and fill with mini chocolates (or others I mentioned). Attach both egg sides with melted chocolate and start decorating!
- Attach decorations with melted chocolate if needed (such as for the roof and door).
- The island is cake, the red and yellow flowers are wafer paper, the rest are gumpaste.
Ingredients
- 2 c cake flour
- 2 tsp BP
- a pinch of salt
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 c sugar
- 1 egg beaten
- 3/4 c milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Mix dry, set aside
Beat sugar and cream until fluffy, then add flour mixture a small amount at a time, alternating with the milk, until blended
I halve the batter and add 1-2 tbsp cocoa powder.
Bake at 375 F for 25 mins
Once baked and cooled at room temperature, crumble cake and add in enough buttercream (or canned frosting) and make a lump of island
