How to make

You will also need:

Stiff bristled brush

Step-1
Cover your chosen cake in a layer of mint green buttercream and smooth all over – it doesn't have to be perfect!

Step-2
Put the cake in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up whilst you shape some eggs with the pastel coloured icing. Leave to dry for a couple of hours.

Step-3
In a small bowl mix together the cocoa powder and vanilla extract to make a runny chocolate paint.

Step-4
Holding the paintbrush in one hand, flick the bristles with the index finger of your other hand to splatter the 'paint' onto the cake – make sure you cover your work surface before you begin!

Step-5
Use the same technique to speckle the eggs.

Step-6
When the chocolate 'paint' has dried arrange the eggs on top of the cake, using a little buttercream to hold them in place.
