Gilded Ostrich Egg for Easter


Here's a bit of a twist on giving a chocolate egg for Easter. This is an ostrich egg gilded in silver and gold leaf. Such a great present! I do also gild chocolate eggs in edible gold for Easter, but this ostrich egg is even more exciting than that. There is a tiny hole in the base where the egg was blown (a long time ago as the shell is an antique) And my client is going to fill the egg with chocolate. I think it's a wonderful idea, but I will be very cross indeed if I find out it was smashed to get to the chocolate, it took me ages to decorate!
