How To Celebrate Easter With 3D Printing

The sun is out, temperatures are warming up and Easter will take place this Sunday! Changing every year, Easter Sunday takes place following the first full moon after the vernal equinox (March 20th), though it is always on a Sunday as the name suggests. Like Christmas, though it is a religious holiday, it has also taken on a certain cultural meaning for many in the Western world. It also is often equated with a celebration of the start of Spring, seen in imagery of baby animals like chicks and lambs. This year to help you celebrate we decided to highlight how 3D printing can be used in Easter celebrations. We chose some of our favorite examples of 3D printing being used for the holiday, including 3D printed chocolate, 3D printed decorations for your home, and STL files for chocolate molds and cookie cutters or Easter decorations. Happy Easter!

Sugar Lab’s Spring Collection of 3D Printed Chocolate

On Christmas and Valentine’s Day we covered Sugar Lab’s 3D printed candies and chocolates. They’re back again with a new collection to celebrate Easter. In their spring collection, Sugar Lab is offering truffles, bonbons, dessert shells and sugar cubes. These are decoarated specifically with Easter and Spring in mind such as the rainbow sprinkle bonbnsons, made in the shape of bunnies and chicks and filled with white chocolate vanilla ganache (and rainbow sprinkles of course!). For those looking for something a little more elegant, there are also the Bejewled Spring Truffles, inspired by the famous Fabergé eggs, the eggs come in three flavors: a blue egg with a Tamarind elderflower dark chocolate ganache, a green egg filled with Orange blossom milk chocolate ganache and a pink/purple egg filled with Lavender white chocolate ganache. The entire collection can be found on their website.
