    YUM!!! Love marshmellow eggs! One year my mom sent me a chocolate covered marshmellow bunny in the mail... in am envelope!!! WHAT WAS SHE THINKING!!!? It came all smooshed. Of course, I ate it anyway and I teased my mom about it for years. Now I just wish she was still here. She's been gone for 2 years now... cancer. : (

    Ah, that's where I saw them. In the flyer. I knew I had just seen them somewhere!

    I made some many years ago. Brought back some memories. They were not hard to make, we did them in a cake decorating class.

    There was a lady at church that made them every year. When she worked with the youth (10 year olds), she would have them go to her house & taught them how to do them. My daughter had hers until she moved out of the house.

    My aunt use to make them. She had molds she used, but I'm not sure how she did them. She also decorated cakes. Thanks for the memories of long ago.

    they aren't that hard to make. It's sugar and a tiny bit of water. Pack ito an egg mold and flip out,slice one side to make a flat side-will be the window- then set on a tray to dry(flat side down). Let a crust form( may take several hours to a day) then carefully remove the soft sugar inside. The trick is to get a thin shell without breaking it. That's where i fail but DD got quite good at it. add your icing border to the open window and put a little figure inside. There used be instructions in Wilton's decorating books I think.

    I still make them, but I do them with plastic eggs. I use a wood burning tool ro cut an oval our of the plastic egg, after gluing the two pieces together. Then I use atificial turf to glue on the botton of the egg inside, I add little bunnies and miniature flower posts with mini flowers, little tiny plastic eggs. I add bushes from the folliage in artificial flowers. I seal the window by adding a piece of clear vynal and then I decorate the outside with lace and ribbon. My husband makes me a stand to set them up on.
