This Fabergé Egg was originally created for the Russian Imperial family. Tsar Alexander III started the tradition,as the story is told by wanting to get something for his wife to celebrate their anniversary, which was close to the Easter holiday. He wanted a really nice egg, to be intricately decorated, and to have a surprise in the centre. This started the tradition of the Fabergé Egg, which the company (Fabergé) had only created 50 in 32 years, and only the affluent could afford them.

 

Many bakers make cakes that look similar to Fabergé eggs, but none as expensive as the Fabergé Egg cake that was delivered to a diamond mogul.Carl Weininger, in Great Britain, for his 60th birthday. He bought the cake himself, since he had recently broken up with his girlfriend and thought that it would cheer him up.

 

Even though the cake isn’t customarily made just like a Fabergé Egg as it doesn’t open, it does have several layers, including champagne jelly, biscuit joconde, dark chocolate and topped with 24ct edible gold leaf by Connoisseur Gold.

 

I think the 2 carat diamond which sits on top of the chocolate flower, should be the Easter surprise every girl should receive!!!
