Step 1: Make the melt chocolate

Put the melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt on maximum power (±800W) in the microwave. Every 15/20 seconds, stir the chocolate well so that the temperature spreads evenly. Stop heating once the chocolate is almost completely melted (small pieces may still be visible). Keep stirring until the chocolate is dissolved. Be careful not to add any water!

Step 2: Prepare the Mould

Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate into the mold with the back of a spoon. Turn the mold upside down and place it in the refrigerator on greaseproof paper for 5 minutes. Allow the chocolate to solidify. Repeat until the desired thickness is reached. Once the chocolate has hardened properly, the chocolate egg can be easily removed from the mold. Make sure the large egg remains upright.

Step 3: Prepare the Icing

Remove the lid and stir well with a spoon before use to knock out any air bubbles in the product. Replace the lid immediately when you are done to prevent the product from drying out. Add food coloring from Wilton or Funcakes as desired.

Step 4: Decorate the Easter Egg

Place the adaptor on the piping bag with nozzle 3 and fill it with icing. Pipe the sprigs into the egg. To pipe the leaves, use piping nozzle 352. Hold the nozzle upright and slowly pipe the leaves. The slower you pull the piping bag aside, the wider the leaf will become. After this, immediately stick a flower on top.

Step 5: Pipe the grass

For the grass, use nozzle 233. Hold the nozzle just above where you want the grass and squeeze the piping bag and slowly move it upwards. Stick the little chicks and possibly the Easter eggs into the egg with a little icing.

Step 6: Decorating the edges

Once the icing has dried a bit, smear the edge of the egg with piping gel. Sprinkle the musket seed on a flat plate and gently press the edge of the egg into it. Then with a little icing, stick the dove on top. Coat the bottom plate with green icing and stick the egg on it. If you like, decorate the bottom plate with some more smaller eggs.

Step 7: Enjoy a delicious Decorated Easter Egg!
