Beware the oven temperature in the recipe - it is 200 F which would be about 80-100C

wow - that's really clever. I don't think I'd have enough patience to make those unfortunately. Still that-s one way to practice icing skills !

They are really easy - a bit like making sandcastles

 

Here are the eggs drying - I air dry them rather than put them in a low oven as the innards stay softer that way.

 

Hollowed out and ready to finish - Lauren wants to help with the finishing and she won't be here until next week now........
