Cadbury celebrates Easter with a large Creme Egg, measuring three feet in height and weighing about 45 kilograms. This is a super-size celebration of one of the most recognizable chocolate treats in Britain. The larger version also has a creamy filling inside.
This is a fondant filling, which is the same made in the original seasonal chocolate egg at a larger scale. It took over two and a half days to create the treat by hand by chocolatiers Terry Collins and Dawn Jenks. Although it looks like there is packaging and complete in the classic red, purple, and gold foil, the finish has actually been painted on by hand. This creation aligns with the company's annual Easter programming.
