Some Tips and Pointers
I cut down a small cake layer to make my nest but it’s MUCH faster to use a donut mold! I used malted chocolates as they are larger than the mini chocolate eggs and fill the nest better. If you don’t want to pile all the little chocolate tubes for the nest just cover in buttercream then pat on toasted coconut for a similar effect. No buttermilk? Add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to whole milk. Mix and set aside for a few minutes then use in the batter. The coffee is optional. GO ahead and use water if preferred.
Let’s Go Over the Steps!
Cut the cake down into a nest shape. Cover cake in buttercream and smooth. Pipe the “twigs” with a #4 tip. You can also use shaved chocolate, spin sugar or even toasted coconut.
Place eggs in the nest. Pile them high and If you’ve tried this treat then don’t forget to rate the recipe and let me know how you got on in the comments below, I love hearing from you!
