Maybe you could make the zucchini into noodles and make into a reed and maybe weave that way and you got an edible basket of a different sort.

Yes i suppose you could try that Chris. I’m waiting for some egg moulds and will post a picture if I get round to making the whole thing. Hopefully have it on here just before Eastertime. By the way, when is Easter in the US, this year? Its March 23rd here in the UK. Is it the same?

Thanks Chris, sorry if anyone’s been waiting for these but my easter egg moulds have not arrived in time for Easter. I will make it again soon and just fill with chocolates for a gift idea.
