World’s Largest Easter Eggs
by In 2005 Chocolaterie Guylian created the worlds largest “edible” Easter egg according to the Guinness book of world records. In 1975 the “Pysanka” was created in Vegreville, Canada.
To make the chocolate egg, it took 26 master chocolateries eight days and fifty thousand Guylian praline chocolate bars. Guylian, the world’s leading manufacturer of Belgian chocolate, made the sculpture to celebrate the renovation of Belgium’s largest market square in Sint Niklaas, Belgium.
This edible egg stood 27 feet 3 inches tall and 21 feet wide. It weighed 4,299 lbs.
I have found no information on what became of this egg, I can only hope that it didn’t go to waste!
The worlds largest “non edible” egg or “Pysanka” was created in Vegreville, Canada in 1975 to commemorate the easy Ukrainian settlements east of Edmonton. This egg is made of Aluminum and weighs 5000 lbs. It stands 18.3 feet high and 25.7 across. It took 12,000 man hours to complete.
This beautiful egg has 524 star patterns and it turns like a weather vane. An awesome tourist attraction to say the least!

Great article and nice pictures. I sure do hope that edible egg didn’t go to waste too. 4299 pounds of chocolate is a lot of chocolate. Well done.
