A pair of sugar craft panorama Easter eggs sitting in a cardboard holder inside a box. The exterior of the box is yellow with flowers and rabbits printed on it in green, red, pink, yellow and brown. Each egg is entirely made from sugar and albumen. Each has a circular hole at one end which has been covered with transparent plastic allowing one to see inside the hollow egg's interior. Inside are colour printed tiny cardboard scenes of trees and rabbits. There are also sugar flowers. One of the eggs is intact the other is broken in two. The top of the exterior of each egg is decorated with icing fashioned into flowers. There is icing around the hole and around the outer edge of each egg. Total number of items is 5.
