Are you looking for a playful and interactive Easter treat to celebrate with your family this year? Look no further, because Buttermere Patisserie has just launched their newest Easter treats. Because of the pandemic, it doesn’t seem that we will be able to enjoy a traditional Easter egg hunt. However, that didn’t stop Jamie Tung (owner and head baker at Buttermere Patisserie) from concocting some whimsical galactic eggs! These Buttermere Easter egg treats will be sure to please any kid or adult.
Buttermere is introducing three epic Easter eggs. These eggs are 7-inches tall and are filled with dragées. Dragées are small candies with a hard outer shell. The Easter eggs com in three distinct shell hues and flavours:
- The Pastel Splash Egg – made with 41% Alunga™ milk chocolate and feuilletine, crispy baked crêpe layers, the Pastel Splash Egg shell is most characteristic of Easter.
- The Pearl Egg – made with 34% Zéphyr™ white chocolate paired with Oreo crumbs.
- The Metallic Egg – made with Fleur de Cao™ dark chocolate and a caramelized hazelnut shell.
Buttermere Easter Egg Treats – The Pastel Splash Egg
I had the privilege of trying The Pastel Splash Egg ($52.00). This is one hefty chocolate concoction! I thought it would simply shatter with the bashing of the hammer, however it was a lot thicker than I thought. It took a couple hard smacks to even crack the top.
Once it is broken, the egg will open to reveal the most beautiful candy concoctions! There is a variety of nuts and dried fruits which include:
- Nesquik® and ruby chocolate
- 70% Fleur de Cao™ dark chocolate almond
- Caramelized white chocolate hazelnut
- Sesame hazelnut praline dark chocolate
- Lemon marzipan with Zéphyr™ white chocolate
- Freeze-dried cherry
- Chocolate almond sable with cashew
Each egg comes with a miniature hammer for a playful reveal. It is available from March 17th to April 5th for pre-order now until April 1st or walk-in purchase at Buttermere Café (636 Main Street) during regular business hours. Pick up is also available at Torafuku.
