In an ambitious Easter celebration, Cadbury has unveiled what it claims to be the largest Creme Egg ever created. This impressive confection is currently on display at Cadbury World, the brand’s famous chocolate-themed attraction in Birmingham. Far from being a simple replica, the egg is a fully edible marvel—crafted entirely from real chocolate and filled with the brand’s iconic gooey fondant center.
With a stature rivaling that of an emperor penguin and a weight comparable to a newborn horse, this chocolate creation is more than just a seasonal novelty. Standing at an impressive 90 centimeters tall and weighing in at 45 kilograms, the egg not only captures the spirit of Easter but also pushes the boundaries of artistic craftsmanship in confectionery.
Built by Hand, Piece by Piece
The egg was crafted entirely by hand by two expert chocolatiers over the course of two and a half days. Using a specially designed two-part mold, the team carefully built up layers of chocolate to ensure that the structure remained solid and intact. Every curve, every layer of chocolate, and even the shiny surface detailing was meticulously created to mirror the beloved Cadbury Creme Egg—but on a monumental scale.
Despite its size, no shortcuts were taken. The interior features the same sweet fondant found in regular-sized Creme Eggs, ensuring the creation maintains the full sensory experience that fans expect. Every inch of the chocolate shell is genuine, making this not only a visual masterpiece but also a tribute to Cadbury’s commitment to quality.
Attention to Detail, Right Down to the Wrapper
While the chocolate and fondant components are entirely authentic, the outer wrapping had to take a creative detour. Due to the sheer scale of the egg, finding a piece of foil large enough to wrap it proved impossible. Instead, the chocolatiers opted for a hand-painted surface to simulate the traditional foil wrapping that Creme Eggs are known for. This clever workaround preserves the familiar look without compromising the structure of the egg.
Even without an edible wrapper, the result is strikingly realistic. From the engraved shine to the color scheme, every detail has been carefully replicated to maintain brand identity and visual appeal. It’s a true testament to the effort put into making the egg not just large, but authentically Cadbury.
A Symbolic Easter Creation
This oversized Creme Egg stands as a bold seasonal statement. Designed to celebrate Easter with a sense of fun, scale, and tradition, it serves as both an attraction and a showcase of craftsmanship. The chocolatiers behind the project aimed to create something memorable—something that captures the imagination of visitors and adds a touch of wonder to the Easter festivities.
Although the egg is not available for tasting, it draws crowds for its sheer scale and intricate design. Visitors to Cadbury World can view the chocolate creation up close in the chocolate-making zone, where it remains the centerpiece of the attraction’s seasonal display.
By scaling up one of its most iconic products, Cadbury reinforces its reputation for creativity and playful innovation in the chocolate world. This record-breaking treat may not fit in an Easter basket, but it certainly delivers on spectacle and charm.
