How to Make Sugar Easter Eggs

Now it is time to glue the two halves of the egg together:

1. Pipe a thin line of royal icing around the lip of the bottom half of the egg.

2. Press the top half down onto the bottom, making sure that they line up evenly. Run your finger around the seam where the eggs meet to remove any excess frosting. You want to do this right away so that it will not begin to harden into unsightly shapes. Allow the egg to sit for about 30 minutes, until the frosting has hardened enough to move the egg without damaging it.
