TRADITIONAL MEXICAN CASCARONES
Mexican Traditon! These beautiful little eggs are for celebrating. They are empty egg shells with confetti in them. They are to be cracked over someone's head or otherwise and the colorful confetti is revealed by falling out of the egg. They are much fun at festivities such as Easter, birthday parties, or just a day of celebration. For a short time, I lived with a lady named Lupita in San Antonio, Texas. She was my good friend Mona's mother. In the six months or so that I lived there I was steeped in some Mexican traditions and this was one of them. The whole family was brought in to help make these and you stayed up till 3 or 4 in the morning making them. It was the same when Lupita made Tamales. lol When I make some with my nephews I will take my own pics. These pics are from the internet, so you could get an idea of what they look like. I posted a pic of Lupita, Mona and me that I finally found in a box of pictures from Texas. I hope you enjoy and share too if you make these with your family.

Steps:
- Now, there are different ways to start out making this & I am going to share one way. That is when you are making eggs for breakfast or baking try and crack them in the center, so that you have two nice half shells. Set them in an egg carton to rinse out and dry them out. You can dry them out by placing them in a low heat oven as well. Start collecting the egg shells for making these wonderful party favors. (My friend Mona & I worked together at a MExican restaurant and she learned how to crack the eggs perfectly in half two at a time on the side of a bucket. She would save these eggs for her mother, Lupita to make Cascarones. Lupita would sell them at her church during Easter time. She would make several 1,000 of them. Of course, with help. :-)
- Here comes the fun part. Either color them as you would Easter Eggs or which ever way is easiest. Then, place some confettie inside the egg shell. (I love this painted picture! It so reminds me of all of us sitting around the table. I would be the little guy with his head on the table sleeping. LOL) It is called:Cascarones Gouache 1989 Collection of Gilberto Cárdenas and Deanna RodrÌguez, Austin, TX
- Next, take a piece of the tissue paper and glue on top of egg shell. Let dry and now you are ready to celebrate with your Cascarones. YEAH!!!!
CONFETTI EGGS (CASCARONES)
A Mexican/American Tradition around Easter and carnival. These pretty confetti eggs really make any party fun for kids and adults alike! You will need a large bowl for catching the raw eggs; you can save these and use them for cooking, and a clean, sharp knife. Prep time depends on your technique.

Steps:
- Over the bowl, use the knife to cut a small to medium sized hole in the tip of the egg.
- Turn the egg over and make a small hole in the opposite side.
- Shake egg over the bowl, or blow through the small hole until all of the raw egg yolk and white has emptied out into the bowl.
- Repeat with all eggs.
- It is okay if the eggs crack or chip a little but try to keep them mostly intact.
- Once all eggs have been emptied, rinse with water. Be sure they are clean without any remaining egg white or yolk.
- Decorate the shells with paint, egg dye recipe #160383, glitter, etc. The more colorful and outrageous, the better!
- Once eggs are dry, cut small squares of tissue paper and glue them over the small holes to seal them.
- Using a funnel, or small spoon, fill the eggs with confetti or shredded paper through the larger hole.
- Once an egg is full, pack a small tissue paper "puff" to plug the larger hole and seal it with glue.
- Allow cascarones to dry and store in the egg carton to protect them.
- Have fun hunting for and throwing cascarones, or sneaking up behind someone and cracking the cascarone over their head!
