They&rsquo;re large eggs made of hard-packed sugar, usually in pastel colors, decorated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/valentines-day-sugar-cookies\/\">royal icing<\/a> flourishes and candy accents. They&rsquo;re delicate, beautiful&hellip;and to childhood me, they were <em>complete torture.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about it. These gorgeous, colorful eggs were made out of SUGAR! Nectar of the gods! And yet, they were <em>completely inedible<\/em>, never intended to be eaten at all. They were brought out as decorations year after year, then painstakingly wrapped up after Easter with the rest of the decor. It was a cruel trick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I obviously still harbor a little bit of a grudge against those delicious-but-forbidden sugar eggs. Now that I&rsquo;m an adult, I&rsquo;m here to <strong>recreate those panoramic sugar Easter eggs&hellip;in cake form.&nbsp;<\/strong>It&rsquo;s whimsical, beautiful, and definitely a show-stopper on the Easter table!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-tip is-style-border has-background has-pattern-secondary-background-color\"><div class=\"cwp-inner\">\n\n<p class=\"block-tip__title is-style-heading has-big-font-size\">More Fun Easter Desserts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like to have fun with my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/tag\/easter-recipes\/\">Easter desserts<\/a>, from sculpting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/easter-nest-cake\/\">Nest Cakes<\/a> to making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/spring-chick-cupcakes\/\">Chick Cupcakes<\/a> to turning truffles into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/marbled-easter-egg-truffles\/\">Marbled Pastel Easter Eggs<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/sugar-easter-egg-cake-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sugar Easter Egg Cake with purple sugar and buttercream flowers on top\" class=\"wp-image-25904\" title=\"Looking for a knockout Easter cake?

If you don&rsquo;t have unsalted butter, omit the extra salt. You&rsquo;ll also want to use room temperature butter because it blends much more easily and helps to prevent  overmixing the batter. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Cream cheese:<\/span><\/strong> It&rsquo;s best to use full-fat, brick-style cream cheese (avoid whipped or low fat varieties). Bring it to room temperature before mixing it into the batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Granulated sugar<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Eggs:<\/span><\/strong> Use large, room temperature eggs (not medium or extra large).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Vanilla extract:<\/span><\/strong> My absolute favorite brand of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3dFNvH3\" data-eafl-id=\"64154\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">vanilla extract<\/a> is Nielsen Massey.

Salted butter will likely make it taste too salty. The butter needs to be soft but still cool to the touch. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Vanilla extract<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Gel food coloring:<\/span><\/strong> I highly recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4cSo8OU\" data-eafl-id=\"68275\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">gel food coloring<\/a> for this project because the coloring is highly concentrated and won&rsquo;t water down the buttercream.

Be sure to read through the recipe before getting started, and leave yourself plenty of time to work on the cake! Full instructions are included in the <a href=\"#recipe\">recipe card<\/a> above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how it all come together:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><strong>Make 2 rounded pound cakes: <\/strong>The two batches of pound cake batter are baked in a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2HEhGzu\" rel=\"nofollow\">football cake mold<\/a>&ndash;this will help us achieve that signature egg shape!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cut, stack, and frost cake layers: <\/strong>Both cakes will be cut in half and layered one on top of the other with buttercream in between. Once stacked the cake will need to be chilled well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shape the chilled cake: <\/strong>You&rsquo;ll use a serrated knife to shape the chilled cake into an egg shape. Then you&rsquo;ll hollow out a cavity in the center of the cake for the Easter scene.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply crumb coat and chill: <\/strong>Now the outside of the cake gets a thin crumb coat of frosting, and another chill in the fridge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frost outside of the cake: <\/strong>The cake is frosted again, with a thicker layer of buttercream this time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply sparkling sugar: <\/strong>To get the full sugar egg look, sparkling sugar is pressed all over the outside of the cake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finish the cake: <\/strong>Time for decorating! Create your panoramic scene with frosting leaves, candy accents, flowers, and any other flourishes. Add a shell border and embellish the top. Yesssss! Keep reading for more decorating ideas. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/sugar-easter-egg-cake-2.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of the panoramic scene in the center of an Easter egg cake, featuring a white chocolate rabbit and chocolate eggs\" class=\"wp-image-25905\" title=\"Looking for a knockout Easter cake?

To come up with my design, I browsed the Internet, looking at lots of different panoramic sugar egg designs to get inspiration. They ranged from simple to quite ornate, and I think my final design ended up somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. You can go as big or as restrained as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing all sugar eggs have in common is the central panoramic scene. They almost always include Easter figures like chicks, bunnies, ducks, or geese, along with Easter eggs and flowers. For my cake, I first filled in the cake&rsquo;s center with some buttercream grass and leaves, then added a white chocolate rabbit with chocolate eggs and royal icing flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then along the outside and top of the cake, I added a shell border, green vines and leaves, and some buttercream roses. Over the top, or just the right amount of extra? You decide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other things you can add to your sugar egg cake:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li>Coconut grass<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jelly beans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Candy carrots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marshmallow flowers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fondant ribbon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sprinkles and other small decor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Custom frosting messages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/sugar-easter-egg-cake-3.jpg\" alt=\"Three buttercream roses on a background of green leaves and purple sparkling sugar\" class=\"wp-image-25906\" title=\"Looking for a knockout Easter cake?

You&rsquo;re guaranteed to make the most beautiful cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><strong>Measure with precision.<\/strong>&nbsp;Either use a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46O5T9F\" data-eafl-id=\"62991\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">kitchen scale<\/a> (the best!), or be attentive when using measuring cups and spoons, especially when it comes to flour. Measure your flour by spooning it into your measuring cup, then use the back of a knife to level off the top of the cup. This method is better and more precise than just dipping your measuring cup in the flour bin to fill it. When you dip your cup in to fill it, the flour gets compacted and you end up with more flour per cup than the recipe calls for. More flour = dry cake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t overmix the cake batter.<\/strong> A common mistake when making cake is overmixing the batter. If you continue mixing after the ingredients are combined, the gluten in the flour will become over-actived, and you&rsquo;ll end up with tough, dense cake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use room temperature ingredients.<\/strong>&nbsp;One of the best ways to make sure you don&rsquo;t overmix the batter is to use room temperature butter, cream cheese, and eggs for the cake. Once these ingredients have a warmed a bit, they&rsquo;ll blend more easily with the other ingredients and be less prone to forming lumps. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697241847432\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">CAn I use a cake mix for this cake?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. This cake design requires a sturdy, stable cake recipe, and cake mixes produce a cake that is quite soft. If you have a favorite homemade cake recipe that you know is sturdy, you can swap that in, but I do not recommend using a boxed mix for this one. (Sorry!)&nbsp;<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697241850529\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use canned frosting?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Again, no. Canned frosting won&rsquo;t give you enough stability or support. You need either a good Swiss meringue buttercream or American buttercream for this recipe. I&rsquo;ve provided a Swiss meringue that I love, but you can use American if you prefer. Just don&rsquo;t bring out the jars of frosting!<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1743028116404\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I have to use a football cake mold?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No, but I do recommend it. I chose the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2HuVk3l\" data-eafl-id=\"73021\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">football cake mold<\/a> because it will produce the least amount of waste. You&rsquo;ll have to do very little trimming of the cake to achieve an egg shape. But if you have a different cake pan that you think will also work to create an egg shape, of course you can use that instead. The football pan is <strong>12 x 8 x 3 inches<\/strong>, if you use a different pan that&rsquo;s a different size, you may need to adjust baking time and the amount of batter you use.&nbsp;<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697241851989\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Make-ahead and Storage Information<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Make-ahead: <\/strong>The cakes can be made in advance, wrapped in plastic, and stored in the freezer until ready to use. Partially defrost them before assembly. The buttercream can also be made in advance and refrigerated. If it has been chilled, let it sit at room temperature until completely soft, then re-whip it to get the smooth texture back before you use it.<br><br><strong>Storage: <\/strong>You can store the well-wrapped cake at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. For the best taste and texture, serve cake at room temperature so that the buttercream softens. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/sugar-easter-egg-cake-5a.jpg\" alt=\"Sugar Easter egg cake, with a slice taken out of it and resting on a plate near the base of a cake stand\" class=\"wp-image-25908\" title=\"Looking for a knockout Easter cake?
