Easter Eggs...Lots Of Them



Isn't this amazing? 
Mr. Volker Kraft, from Saaalfeld Germany hung 10,000 colored eggs in his apple tree this week.My idea of decorating for Easter is to toss a bunny face on my scrawny, stuffed alley cat I keep at work:)

He's motion activated. When he was younger he used to screech out: 'I'm nothing but an alley cat.' Over the years he has developed laryngitis so now he only arches his back and his eyes glow when someone walks by.

Authors In Bloom Blog Hop



Crystallized Flowers from S. Davis found in POWER FLOWERS
Ingredients:
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 teaspoon water
1 dozen pesticide-free edible flowers, such as violets, marigolds, rose petals
1 cup superfine sugar

Combine the egg whites and water, beating lightly with a fork (do not overbeat).
Dip a paint brush in the egg whites and paint a flower, covering the petals thoroughly but not excessively.
While still wet, gently sprinkle with superfine sugar.
Put the crystallized flowers on a sheet pan lined with waxed paper. Allow to dry for 12 to 24 hours.
These make beautiful decorations for cakes and desserts.
This same technique may be used to make crystallized fruit by dipping the fruit (rather than painting) into the egg white mixture.
