Make sugar mixture by combining sugar and ice water.
Mix with back of spoon until moist throughout. Mixture is just right if when squeezed in hand, it leaves imprint of fingers on mixture.
Using plastic egg molds that separate in half lengthwise, press sugar mixture into each half with thumbs.
Working towards edges, make walls 1/8 to 1/4" thick.
At pointed end of egg, scoop out a half circle with end of teaspoon to make the peek-through.
Carefully lay piece of cardboard over top and invert so that sugar egg half comes out onto cardboard without breaking
Allow eggs to dry overnight. Scrape bottom of half of the molds slightly to flatten them for standing.
Fill with easter grass or straw. Add plastic chicks, cut out scenes or childrens' photos, miniature jelly beans, or candy dots, etc.
Adjust top egg half over bottom and seal the two together with decorating frosting.
Pipe around the seam, then around peek through pening and other place desired.
Decorating Frosting:
Beat together until very thick - 2 egg whites, 2 cups powdered sugar, dash cream of tartar. Cover bowl with damp cloth as frosting hardens. Color and use cake decorating tips.
