How to Make Cast Sugar Easter Eggs with Fondant Appliqués

More sugar eggs, but this time styled super elegantly with rubber-stamped fondant appliqués, as well as edible paper and royal icing accents! Filled with candy, they make beautiful and edible Easter gifts. Here, I show how to decorate them and provide two different presentation options.

NOTES:

(1) Cast sugar dries quite hard, so this project - though theoretically completely edible - is primarily decorative, except for the candies inside.
(2) YouTube is phasing out the form of annotations (links to videos) that you've seen in my past videos. They've introduced a new way for linking off to related videos and sites called "cards", which you'll see in this video. If you look under the "i" in the upper right corner of the video, you'll be able to find all of my quick links to the most important videos, tutorials, and other info related to this video. Additional related links can still be found in my video descriptions, as below.
