We were excited. My Ma had given us a basket of treats, chief among which were some KAKE BRAND moulds, exactly the same as those we had when I was a kid. She found them on ebay (where she finds everything), complete with their original foil wrappings and instructions.
I cleaned the moulds.
Tom was the Master Chocolatier (said in Lindt voice)
and I formed chocolate creations to the same exacting standards I’d used when eight years old.
ahem.

I’ve never seen these before. We’ve been enjoying duck eggs at our house, no kidding!!

Those standards are the ones I aspire too. Them grown-up more-perfect-than-perfect standards are killing me. Your egg looks awesome!

Lucky Tom. Those crackly looking eggs are great because you can pace yourself by breaking a bit off at a time. Mmmm.

Intention is sometimes more important than perfection. :) ESPECIALLY when creating a perishable. Very few things are too ugly to eat!

Oh they are gorgeous – we had those too when I was little. My mum used to let us buy a quarter of sweets from the local sweet shop to put inside too. Yummmm
