The process involves setting the chocolate eggs in the sun to let its heat do the sculpting. It&#8217;s a precisely timed process that can only be done by hand. But Barcelona is likely sunnier than southern B.C. at this time of year, so even if the sun does hide behind the clouds here, Mogridge says she\u00a0 has other tricks up her sleeve to make sure the eggs develop into beautiful sculptures.<\/p>\n<p>The sun-sculpted eggs come in 4-inch ($26.75) and 6-inch ($46.75) sizes, sit in a charming chocolate nest adorned with chocolate twigs and are filled with her shop&#8217;s specialty, the Unbelievably Good Egg, a soft caramel and chocolate centre truffle rolled in toasted almonds, as well as foil-wrapped solid dark chocolate eggs.<\/p>\n<p>Cocoa West truffles, chocolates and hot chocolate mixes have always been made with certified organic and fair-trade chocolate. They are also free of soy lecithin, a common emulsifying ingredient in many mass market and artisan chocolates, because of concerns about common allergies to soy, Mogridge says.<\/p>\n<p>The special eggs are available at the Cocoa West on Bowen Island, at the Portobello West Market in Vancouver on March 24 and 25,\u00a0 and online at cocoawest.com. There is an additional shipping charge for online orders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Portobello West Market:<\/strong> Created in 2006 by Carlie Smith and inspired by the famous artisan markets of Europe, Portobello West\u2019s goal is to\u00a0introduce Vancouver\u2019s\u00a0style-conscious shoppers to the\u00a0creative artisans and designers working here.
