I had no idea that my mom had these treasures stashed away, but I’m so glad she did.
Peek a bowl full#
As I dug into it, I found my grandmother’s sugar egg molds and a binder full of hand written recipes. I happened to mention the idea to my parents the other day, and my mom ran to grab a box from her garage. In the interest of trying to keep these ancient eggs intact, I decided it was about time to try creating our own peek-a-boo eggs. My kids love picking up the ones grandma made so they can really take in the Easter-themed scenes. If you’re not familiar with peek-a-boo eggs, they’re decorative confections - made almost exclusively of sugar - with spring-time scenes inside that are visible through a small peep hole. It continues to amaze me that remain in near-perfect condition after at least 30 years. In addition her spectacular cakes, she used her skills to create amazing peek-a-boo eggs that my mom still busts out for Easter every year.
For my one of my birthdays, she made me cake that looked like a basket full of flowers.Īnother time, she made me one of those princess cakes with a doll in the middle.
When I was a kid, my grandmother got really into decorating cakes. With a little help, kids can take charge of measuring, mixing, shaping, and decorating.
Making Peek-A-Boo Easter Eggs is a fun, kid-friendly project.
