Instructions
Place the chocolate mud cake onto a serving dish.
Cover the top and sides with the frosting.
Place the chocolate finger biscuits around the sides of the cake.
Shake the sprinkles all over the top of the cake (this will prevent the solid eggs from sticking to the frosting).

Decorate with mini eggs.
Secure the cake with a ribbon tied around the outside.

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS:
Use a
dense mud cake
so it holds the decorations.
Press the
chocolate fingers firmly
into the frosting so they stick.
Keep
heavier eggs towards the centre
so the biscuits don’t slide.
Tie the
ribbon tightly
to keep everything secure.
Chill for
30 minutes before serving
if the weather is warm.
