Easter Egg Cake Pops

Easy to make! Follow your favourite fruit cake or brownie recipe so that you have a robust shape to 'play' with (alternative cheat method); roll/press into egg shapes.

Melt chocolate over a pan of water and, using wooden sticks pushed in to the egg-shaped cakes, dip into the chocolate to coat. If required, add sprinkles before the coating dries hard. Once cooled, they can be decorated with tube icing (which also acts as a 'glue' to add small edible items). You can even remove the sticks when the chocolate and icing has set.

Or... cover the 'eggs' with ready-roll icing and decorate.

Cool Watermelon Hedgehog

Here's a simple yet impressive way of presenting watermelon bites. There is also a watermelon shark à la Jaws!

It's easy to work out how to do this. Cut the 'back' away, scoop bite-size pieces from the centre and pile them back in with cocktail sticks representing the spines.

Use the spare skin for the nose and feet and use sticks to secure them. Blueberries are useful for decoration too.

This can be prepared in advance and kept in the 'fridge. Great for summer garden parties and buffets - for adults and children!
