Elaborate sugar eggs, also called panorama Easter eggs, are a tradition that dates all the way back to the Victorians.

They still come around every Easter, and their pretty innards always captivate the children.

You can build your own, too, with some sugar and a couple of inexpensive plastic egg molds. Here are several tutorials:
