We followed Martha Stewart's Sugar Egg recipe and were successful!
We finished our eggs. Here are the pictures to prove it! Here is part one of this two part post!
All sanded and ready to go.{we used 150 grit sandpaper for flat sides and edges}
A good 4 hours of work ahead of us. 
So glad we decided to do a few picture window eggs. 
Kaia's mad rose making skills with frosting.She was determined and had only read some directions.
All decorated!
These will all be part of our Easter table decorations.Can't wait.
Our dinner menu:
Ham
Cheesy Shredded Potatoes
Carrots
Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto
Homemade Dinner Rolls
Deviled Eggs
Pistachio Pudding Salad
Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Lemon Mandarin Cake with Pineapple Frosting
And...here is a picture of my kitchen right now....
the aftermath of sugar egg making.
Will be cleaning this all night.
