Godiva x Emma Block Illustration

When Godiva  got in touch with me and asked if I would like to design an Emma Block Illustration Easter Egg with them how could I say no? Chocolate and illustration is bit of a dream combination. I was invited along with five other creative influencers, Sophie Tea, Gizzi Erskine, Rosie Fortescue, Henry Holland and Candice Brown (Bake Off winner) to transform a beautiful Godiva milk chocolate egg (honestly I was a bit starstruck). The evening started with an introduction to chocolate tasting and tempering from the Godiva chocolatiers, then we set to work personalising our eggs.

I had decided to go for a Easter bonnet design and I had requested sugar paste so that I could hand make 3-D flowers. I started by carefully rolling out a white sugar paste and cutting out the silhouette of the woman’s head before hand painting the face with food dye. I made the hat out of a oval piece of sugar paste covered with gold leaf, which I attached with edible glue. I then started to make the sugar paste flowers by hand, petal by petal. I used food colouring and brush to add depth to some of the flowers and I added touches of gold leaf. The chocolatiers from Godiva helped me place each one, carefully attaching it with melted chocolate.

If you had over to the Godiva Facebook page you have the chance to win one of these beautiful chocolate eggs. Godiva has just launched an exclusive new spring collection at Sainsbury’s.
