Easter - Sugar Eggs and Tosca

Do you remember these panorama, pressed sugar eggs from your childhood? Nostalgia and running across the kit (can't remember if it was Belgium or in Germany...or did I order it?) prompted me to try my hand at making 'sugar art'.

I made these eggs about 3 years ago. A few are faded because I had them out too long past Easter and the sun bleached them somewhat. But they store well and I bring them out each year.

Tosca, a true admirer of edible art, was highly interested. Fortunately and unlike Russo, she has no interest in sweets or chocolate...in spite of Reggie's sweet tooth and chocoholism.

I hope your Easter is/was enjoyable no matter what your spiritual followings. For me, its a spring thing with much symbolism and I honor/respect those around me here in Spain for whom it is a major holiday - more so than Christmas, in fact. What do I take from it? A sense of renewal and a reminder to move/improve forward.

Green blessings to you!
