It is that time of year again. In anticipation of our Cinco de Mayo fiesta, the Foreign Language Club makes Cascarones. Cascarones are confetti filled eggshells used in Easter and Spring celebrations broken over the head of unsuspecting friends and family. WAY Fun!!! If you have never made them....it is VERY simple:
1. Lightly tap one end of the egg. Peel the shell away leaving a quater sized hole in one end.
2. Empty the raw egg into a large bowl.
3. Use Easter egg dye to color the hollowed shells.
4. Cut/shred old wrapping paper into confetti. Add GLITTER!!!! and mix...
5. Fill your brightly colored shells FULL of confetti. Using good ole' Elmers Glue, adhere a scrap of tissue paper just larger that the egg's opening to seal.
****TIP I use my finger to "Paint" the excess glue to the shell's lip to create a nice even seal.
6. Return eggs to their original containers to dry until party time!!
7. Scramble the eggs with sausage and cheese to make breakfast burritos!!
8. Eat and Happy Smashing!
