Last but not least, my little Minnie Mouse Easter Egg Tourta which i painted freehand on a separate piece of fondant -wasn't brave enough to attempt painting on the cake direct!

Getting Eggy

Fast forward almost a week later and I can honestly say everyday feels like groundhog day. Yes, I actually feel like the dude who wakes up, the same time every morning and has the same experiences day after day. Only today it feels like i'm getting closer to the end of decorating each egg individually. Yay! I have countless paper cuts, have become a pro with the glue gun and am beyond tired.
Although there's a few more boxes to finish off, here's a sneak peek of where we're at with the chocolate eggs bunnies and roosters. I believe sometime next week we'll be starting on the Tsoureki...

Easter Eggs by the dozen...

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.
