Try this variation on the traditional
Easter egg. It's a bit fiddly but looks very pretty when finished.

Follow the instruction on Easter
eggs for preparing the moulds.
For the best flavour use couverture
chocolate, following the instructions
for its use. You can use other types of chocolate if you
wish, but the flavour will not be as good.
Follow the instructions in Techniques
for melting 4oz chocolate, then put the melted chocolate into
a piping bag with a fine nozzle already in it.
 
Pipe circular lines all around
the inside of the egg moulds to create a pretty open effect.
When finished, smooth the edge with a palette knife. Join the
two halves together with a little melted chocolate. When the
two halves are set together, with a little more melted chocolate
in the piping bag and pipe shells all around the join to conceal
it.
Decorate the egg with bows and
sugar flowers hooked through the filigree.
