Egg Making - our last fundraiser before we go to Honduras. If we are now making  chocolate-covered fondant Easter eggs, it means that we are getting close to our trip to El Hogar at the end of April.  We have spent a few occasions making the fondant eggs and now is the fun part coating them with chocolate.





We set up a routine - making sure that the tempering process:for the chocolate was done correctly (it has to be the perfect temperature so the chocolate will have no streaks and will be glossy).  With coating twice and adding the decoration on top to all 284 eggs, we were finished in record time by 8:30 in the evening. We are getting good at this with it being our 7th year making the eggs.

 We do have fun!  And while we try to keep the chocolate contained to our work space, it does get a little messy. 

Note the clock on the wall behind the Reycrafts as Ros puts the decoration on the last coated egg of Rick's. Finished at 8:30!

 They are all ready to be packaged and will be on sale from any team member or at coffee hour on Sunday, March 6 and 13th. 

We may be done in record time, but it still deserves a little time of celebration with Kerry, the Chocolate Doctor, who has helped us do a professional job with our chocolate.  She has been an amazing support and help to our group and our fundraisers.  Thank you Kerry.
