Decorate the Outside of the Egg

Time to put the finishing touches on your egg!

1. Pipe a decorative border around the seams where the two egg halves were joined together. I also like to pipe a border around the opening of the window, to better frame the scene inside and to hide any uneven edges. I usually do not pipe a border on the very bottom of the egg, as this is where it will rest in the egg holder. If you are not using an egg holder or have alternate display plans for your egg, decorate the entire thing.

2. If you have frosting flowers or other decorations, now is the time to put them on the outside. Use a small dab of royal frosting to secure them to the egg. Add leaves, stems, or any other decorative touches you desire.
