Easter, only one of the biggest celebrations in the Greek calendar is only a mere 4 weeks away, eek. The only reason i'm totally freakin' out is because i've been left with chocolate Easter egg, bunny and hen decorating. Yup, it's a big job that requires patience and not liking the smell of chocolate, which is well difficult for me (as chocolate is my Kryptonite) and i just so need to get into the creative groove right now as the clock is ticking. (Images above are from last year)
I picked up nearly all the bits i needed and am ready to go with the wrapping, which is the MOST arduous and fiddly job ever. I started in the morning and with almost over 180 chocolate whatevers in need of wrapping, ribbon tying and decorating, i think i won't be done til Saturday at the earliest. Woah!
The difference between these little chocolate beauties than the 'Cadbury's' version or shall i say Supermarket version is that they are handmade and the chocolate used is of a much higher quality (higher cocoa content for starters),we're talking at least 70% cocoa indulgence for all you chocolate lovers out there. Next is the fact that they are carefully hand decorated, some with gorgeous sugar art (from fondant) and each are hand wrapped too. Ok, some of you may think the deco is a bit garish, but these guys love it here, I worked out that they're big on anything sparkly too.
Getting there, these are the big kuhuna's weighing upto 600g! Yum!
I decided to add more pink princess action with the stefana (Greek wedding crown) and wand
In Greece you can't have an Easter Egg wrapped in Green without sticking a Panathinaikos logo on it.
