Unbelievable things we bronze at the Bronzing Studio.


Bronzed Hot-cross bun and gold-plated Chocolate Easter bunny.

It's this time of the year again. Christmas gone and Easter here.
I bet you never thought it possible to find those bronzed items on any website in the world.
I often wonder where that tradition comes from, giving chocolate (real not bronzed)and hot-cross buns for Easter! Why is it eaten at Easter? I am a bit of a loss to try and explain the beliefs and traditions that we associate with Easter. That is only my belief. I like chocolate all year round.
Why does the Hot-cross buns have a cross? Apparently the Pope made an exception for these rolls. Bakers marked the rolls with a cross to show that they had the Pope's approval. As Easter marks the end of the Lenten fast, food is an important part of this festival. Wheat is another symbol of life and on Good Friday many people in Europe and North America eat hot cross buns.

"The Easter bunny probably has its origin in pre-Christian fertility tradition. The hare and the rabbit were the most fertile animals known and they served as symbols of new life during the blossoming Spring season. The bunny as an Easter symbol appears to have its origins in Europe, where it was first mentioned in German writings in the 1500's.The first edible Easter bunnies were made in Germany during the early 1800's, and were made of pastry and sugar"

We at the Bronzing Studio can preserve in Bronze, silver or 24 k gold everything imaginable.
