Super sized egg donated to the Hospice |
| Tuesday, 01 April 2008 |
 A chocolate Easter egg weighing a massive 20kg has been donated to The Peace Hospice by The Grove. Guided by the experts at the renowned Cacao Barry Or Noir lab in Paris, resident Chocolatier Tony Hoyle created the 80 cm high egg which has been on display in the foyer at The Grove in the lead up to Easter.
The Peace Hospice’s corporate development manager, Maggie Grand said ‘The egg is visually stunning and is encrusted in smaller bronze chocolate balls – it really looks and smells fantastic’!
‘I am delighted that The Grove has thought of us in this way. It’s another example of their brilliant support for us. We are hoping to raise a significant amount of money with the egg’.
