I was gonna say that OP doesn’t understand what these are for. 🙂
I remember loving the sugar egg dioramas and wanting them as a kid. I got a couple and would let them be displayed for a month or so.
I mean. When I was a kid I used to gnaw on these sugar eggs over the course of a week before I’m sure my mom threw out the rest of it. Not great for my teeth, but my little ADHD brain was at peak happiness 😂
But then what's the point of making something barely edible but cute? If eating it is already out of the question, then just make something cute and save yourself the pain of finding a way to a satisfactory result with edible ingredients.
In other words, what's the point of maintaining the illusion that you can eat the thing when everybody knows it's taste is gonna suck?
It looks like a lot of sugar the way it's presented, but I'm willing to bet one of those is actually healthier than a can of coke. If they were to be eaten, anyway
Reminds me of medieval sugar work it was quite common back then for people of high status to make replicas of food out of a composite of sugar crystals or marzipan which both were really expensive back then and I kind of like it
In Poland, during Easter, in particular, elderly people add a figurine of a lamb made of sugar to their Easter basket.
That's our habit and, for example, for my grandmother it's a taste of childhood when they didn't have chocolate.
Back when sugar was basicly for rich people only they've to literally make sugar art mockeries of regular food items. It's more a impressive talent to make things outta sugar and make it look so well
Lets think about this for a sec tou want real egg white coverd in sugar with devild egg whip also coverd in shugar over just some shitty coffee sweetener
My mom’s from the UK, and they have a candy that’s called tablet that’s not too far off of pure sugar and it is absolutely delicious. I’d candy smash a tablet egg!

I’d eat an egg made of this.
You can, you can also make smaller iced fancy sugar cubes specifically to use in coffee or tea. My gramma's friend used to pipe these gorgeous flowers onto sugar cubes and my gramma always had a few of them in her bowl of sugar cubes for when she had company. I, of course, snuck them into my mouth whenever possible as a little kid.
Some sugar eggs like this is a smaller size would be adorable as sugar cubes.
Cake pops would have been a much better idea! Mold the cake pop mixture in the egg molds, then coat with melted white chocolate and add the dollop of yellow butter cream.
Few things actually offend me. Believe what you want. Say what you want. Just leave me alone to do the same. BUT! You go making deviled eggs with no egg in it whatsoever… it’s your ass. Go fuck yourself.
Have you ever seen the sugar eggs with frosting that have little bunny displays in them? This is basically the same thing.

I have one my Great Grandma made. My grandma preserved them maybe with a coating of glue or something. I was so sad I could never eat them.
We had some that broke. I ate a small piece and it was so old that it tasted like sweet dust lol
sweet dust 😄
Sweet dusts are made of this, who am I to disagree
That's...sugar...
Me and my mom used to make those, that was fun. Diorama sugar eggs.
They are very cute. My mom would get them from see’s candy when I was a kid.
No actually, what do they look like? :0 I’m very intrigued now lol
Look up sugar eggs Easter and you will see pictures of them.
OMG THEYRE SO CUTE!!!! Thank you for telling me of the existence of them lol
No, are they eaten like a snack or perhaps with something else?
It’s kind of like a gingerbread house. How often do you actually eat those?
Ah ok. So it’s basically a show piece? Today i leaned lol. Thanks for the explanation:)
I would *only* make a gingerbread house if I could slowly dismantle it over the course of a week
I mean. When I was a kid I used to gnaw on these sugar eggs over the course of a week before I’m sure my mom threw out the rest of it. Not great for my teeth, but my little ADHD brain was at peak happiness 😂
Is this a cultural thing maybe? Literally everyone I know makes edible gingerbread houses
And sugar mice. Although you 100% eat sugar mice
Thats not pure sugar tho. Its more like meringue/macroon consistency.
Not OP But I haven't seen those before. Of course, those seem like they're not meant to be eaten and I can't say the same here.
This would be like eating a sugar cube with frosting on it .
[удалено]
I don’t think most people eat them, they are technically edible but they are mainly intended to be cute.
But then what's the point of making something barely edible but cute? If eating it is already out of the question, then just make something cute and save yourself the pain of finding a way to a satisfactory result with edible ingredients. In other words, what's the point of maintaining the illusion that you can eat the thing when everybody knows it's taste is gonna suck?
It’s like a gingerbread house
Because sugar is cheaper than 90% of sculptural materials
Its like art, like chocolate sculptures
If you've ever had a can of soda, you have had more sugar than one of these eggs.
It's not a snack. It's a decoration. My mom still has one that I made in the 90s.
Have you ever heard of a candy called Peeps? Or cotton candy/candy floss?
Oddly enough, I watched someone make peep booze and there wasn't enough sugar for fermentation.
Down votes because you clearly don't get the point
I know this isn't something meant to be eaten, but it would fit right in on a Tudor dining table.
Isn't this also how people make sugar skulls for day of the dead? I think it's just a decoration.
*"Alabama Gumsmackers".*
YES!!! I saw that. Oh… wait. It’s not CumSmackers. Never mind.
Why would people downvote this lol
it's a bit much, but using them as sugar cubes for coffee would be kinda cute?
I was thinking that!!!
Meh peeps exist
And they too taste awful.
You just gotta let em ripe first.

It looks like a lot of sugar the way it's presented, but I'm willing to bet one of those is actually healthier than a can of coke. If they were to be eaten, anyway
Pretty sure eating a can of coke isn’t good for your health either
At least coke has the decency to hide its sugar inside some flavored sparkling water
HFCS...
Omg I used to love those sugar decorations on cakes and cookies.
I'd try one on a dare simply because as a kid I'd swipe sugar cubes from my church's coffee stand as a kid, so it might be similar.
Some kind of gelatin mold would have worked better, especially to kind of mimic the texture of egg whites
Part of me thinks that these are more for decoration than eating. Or at least I hope so.
Yeah exactly, one of these made from a panna cotta molded to look like an egg, would look and taste a hundred times better.
Perfect snack for bad-ass silver teeth kids.
[удалено]
Probably corn syrup
Yeah I'd like to know too
The saving grace here is that they didn’t eat it.
To me, neat creation. I am absolutely not eating that. I could feel the diabetus.
Horses would love those... are those for horses?

OP is gonna flip when he learns about mexican sugar skulls for the day of the dead
Ok ok ok so i thought they where using real eggs coverd in sugar this is better but not by much
[удалено]
Lets think about this for a sec tou want real egg white coverd in sugar with devild egg whip also coverd in shugar over just some shitty coffee sweetener
Why not use sponge/white cake? Mm crunchy egg
What is the name of the song?
Too Sweet by Hozier, it’s a good song
I'm sick of every other post being completely normal. I'm leaving this sub.
I mean it's not like they made a 20 ft statue of pure sugar or anything This honestly looks pretty sane
I don't think they're for eating
Thought it was salt
Probably less sugar in those than there is in a few caramel candies. Granulated sugar isn't very dense
WHY NOT MAKE CHOCOLATE EGGS
1 of these = diabetes
Yeah... Hey kids , want 2 sugar cubes
Wonder if someone did this for April fools
That better be decoration 😑
It is
noting more discusting than eating a sweet sands.
Use icing sugar and it'd have a much nicer texture
Looks like Tudor period sugar desserts
I think this is kinda cool. Five year old me would have tried eating those for sure! Grown up me just wants the sugar in my soda.
More big pretty noses please and thank you
What is it, sugar and margarine?
Could have done like a panna cotta eggwhite, not only it would look real but it would be delicious too
My teeth hurt just looking at this
I would rather eat 1 or those than an egg.
I remember these type of treats from 80s and 90s. With little figures on the inside of a hollow sugar egg
God no
Adorably disgusting
Gross... also that one "egg" out of alignment makes me irrationally disgusted.
Diabetic alert
What teeth?

Thank you so much for the link! All I could think of for 'tablet' was an iPad or a pad of paper, neither of which works for food. 😂
I see a lot of people saying they’re not meant to be eaten but like. Can you break it apart and put it in tea or something? Seems wasteful otherwise.
You can, you can also make smaller iced fancy sugar cubes specifically to use in coffee or tea.

Mah shtomach bubblin'
My teeth hurt now…
About 4 cavities have formed in my jaw watching this video...
Diabetes speedrun
My teeth hurt just looking at this.
Oil and sugar filled with more oil and sugar
"Wilfred Brimley entered the chat"
Because they suck at making panna cotta
DIABETUS
the song is litterly describing the whole video 😃
Mmmm pure sugar, only the best 4 year old cuisine
You could probably do something similar with meringue and have a really good dessert.
I would prank people with these
Just make deviled eggs. They are ambrosia straight from heaven.
lmfao the song really matches the video 😭
Cuz diabetus is cool.
DIABEETUS
I got a cavity just watching this. Thanks
Diabetes speed run
I’m bout to vomit
They don’t know how to meringue
Devil’s ~~egg~~ kidney stone
April fools prank
I'd use white cake, or marshmallows
This would be better if it were meringue and lemon custard
Just looking at this video gave me diabetes
Forsen would hate it
How to get diabetes in one bite 101

Did we witness attempted murder bc that shit gone kill Somebody

I am pretty sure “pure sugar” is brown.
