  Spoon measures are American spoons, that is standard cook's measuring spoons used in USA.
  The best plan is to regard 2 American teaspoons or tablespoons as 1 English teaspoon or tablespoon (eating spoons)

This may be a good, alternative idea for decorating our Easter table with an original centerpiece or for making a gift.
It's very easy to make it but you have to choose the sugar decorations very carefully in order to combine well the colours.
We chose violets, green leaves, yellow toffees and petals of roses: all made with sugar. You can glue them on the surface of your egg with icing sugar diluted with few drops of water.
As soon as you've decorated the chocolate egg, you can finish your work: line the basket with the voile, arrange the little chocolate eggs on the bottom and put over the decorated chocolate egg.
The sweet basket is ready!
