Cadbury chocolatiers create giant Easter egg

Cadbury World have created a mouth-watering 2.5ft tall egg to celebrate Easter - the equivalent of 844 standard Dairy Milk bars.

Chocolatiers Gail Deeley and Sian Patterson made the fairyland-themed egg over two days, which has a shell four centimetres thick.

The egg, weighing around 38kg, has been decorated with hand-piped flowers, blades of grass, fairies and a blossom tree.

The pair then fixed a collection of toadstools, fairy wings and a door leading into the tree with melted white chocolate.

The egg will be on display in Birmingham at Cadbury World throughout its Easter celebrations, until April 28.
