Sugar Easter Eggs are the perfect Easter craft and they're a lot of fun to make! All you need is some sugar and a egg mold to get started. They are quite simply an adorable old-fashioned treat you can make with your kids and have a lot of fun!
Sugar eggs are a fun Easter craft activity, and the resulting product can be saved and displayed for many years. They are easy to make and you`ll need just a few ingredients you probably already have at home.
What you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- Egg Mold
- 5 cups Granulated Sugar
- Food colors
- Water
- Royal Icing Mix (for decorating)
Eggs are made of sugar mixed with little water and food color and decorated with royal icing. Great thing is that eggs are empty, so you can put candy or note inside, and you can keep them for years!
How to make sugar eggs:
Preheat oven to 150 degrees F.
In a large bowl mix sugar with water to achieve consistency of wet sand. If you want to color your eggs, add your liquid food color to the water before you mix it with a sugar.
Pack the egg mold tightly with sugar. Packing the sugar tightly will avoid cracks in the finished egg. No need to coat the mold with anything, the sugar will release on its own like wet sand being turned out of a bucket. Scrape the excess sugar off with a spatula or knife.
Using a piece of cardboard cut to the size of your egg mold, place against the mold and flip the mold over. Slowly lift the mold off releasing the sugar egg from the mold and leaving it on top of the cardboard. Repeat to make your next half.
You can use remaining sugar to made cute colorful sugar cubes for your tea or coffee.
