Step 1: Prepare the FunCakes Royal Icing
Sift 450 g of mix and mix it with 55 ml of water for a Royal Icing in stiff consistency. Beat the mix and water together gently for about 7-10 minutes until the icing is well white, it is no longer shiny and peaks can be drawn that do not recoil.
Step 2: Pipe wings
Using white icing, pipe the edges of the wings. Make sure the wings do not touch and that the edge is completely closed. Thin a spoonful of white icing to yogurt thickness, being careful not to get any air bubbles. Put the thin icing in the disposable bag and cut a small tip from it. Fill the wing with the thin icing. Let it dry for at least two days. Using the metallic paint, paint dots and stripes on the wings.
Step 3: Easter egg making
Melt chocolate melts as directed on the package. Pour the chocolate into both parts of the Easter egg mold and pour out the excess. Place the two halves in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes and repeat again. Remove the halves from the mold and stick them together with some melted chocolate.
Step 4: Easter egg decorating
Color the icing green. Spread a layer on a base plate or plate. Place a mound of icing in the center and place the egg in it. Put a generous spoonful of icing in a piping bag with adaptor and nozzle 233. Pipe grass around the bottom of the egg. Put nozzle 3 on the piping bag and pipe sprigs on the egg. For the leaves, use nozzle 352. Hold that upright (like a bird's beak), apply pressure and slowly pull it aside. The slower you do that, the wider the leaf becomes. When the petal is big enough stop squeezing and slowly pull the piping bag away. Pipe leaves on the sprigs onto the egg.
Color icing for the flowers yellow (or another color). Put the colored icing in a piping bag with nozzle 18. Hold just above where you want the flower (2 mm) and apply pressure, release and pull the piping bag away. Place a sugar pearl as a heart inside the flower. Decorate the branches with (different colors of) flowers.
Step 5: Add butterfly to the Easter egg
To put the butterfly on the egg, put nozzle 12 on the piping bag (with icing colored to your liking in it) and pipe a line on the egg. Start with the head and finish with the "tail. Now carefully insert the wings into the icing and prop them up with a wad of cling film until the icing is dry. If you like, pipe a cup onto the body with nozzle 12 and insert a few stems (stamens) as antennae.
Step 6: Enjoy your Great Easter Egg!
