Resurrection Sunday tomorrow...some craft time tonight.
Most of you won't care but the homey sage will appreciate this.
Any plastic egg shell will work. Sugar, merengue powder and a small amount of water. Mix and compact into the mold. Plop out onto a baking sheet. You can air dry overnight, or you can bake at 300 degrees for 30 mins. Once hardened (they'll be like brick), carve out the center on both halves. Carve out a peep hole on one half only.
Decorate the inside of the piece w/o peephole, then use frosting (powder sugar base will harden fastest) to seel the 2 halves together, then decorate outside. While these are edible, they are not meant to be eaten. As decorations they will last as long as you can avoid knocking them around or getting them wet.
