Valentine's Day EggsThis is a fun and adorable edible craft I learned from my mother. She's been doing this since she was a little kid. All you need are a few household items. :)

  11. If you like you can further decorate. For the smiley faces, add toasted sesame seeds for eyes and teeny tiny wedges of egg white for lips. You can also use a couple drops of red food colouring in a cup of water to dye the eggs pink before you squeeze them into heart shapes. Improvise! It's fun! :)

This is awesome! I wish I could give you more than one thumbs up. I've been fixing deviled eggs for over 30 years & have never seen any that were not the standard oval.

Your flowers could easily be a 4 leaf clover, butterfly, or with 1 added chopstick, a star.

Thank you, thank you! Growing up, Mum would put these on our table and I thought it was just magic; nothing I'd ever attempt. Turns out they were so easy. Enjoy!
