The Easter tradition of making panoramic sugar eggs stems from Victorian days. The eggs themselves were made of sugar, eggwhite and water, and had a peephole on the side. The outside was generally decorated with  sugar-frosted spring flowers and icing. On the inside were miniature idyllic landscapes with hopping bunnies, chicks, eggs, etc. Nowadays, these eggs are pretty hard to find, and those sold are required to have all edible parts, which sets them apart from the traditional ones which created perspective by making use of layers of paper, and little wooden miniatures and paper cut-outs. The eggshell filtered the light which illuminated the tranquil scene inside.
