Extraordinary Easter Eggs for Deserving Kids

Extraordinary Easter Eggs for Deserving Kids

12 lucky children will be chasing around Premier House in Wellington this Wednesday trying to beat the Prime Minister as they go head to head on an Extraordinary Easter Egg Hunt. The very special Easter Eggs for some very special kids have been carefully crafted by top New Zealand Patisserie Tutor Robert Bok who lectures at the Wellington Institute of Technology School of Hospitality.

Robert Bok saw the promotion on The Breeze and didn’t hesitate to offer his services to produce 12 hand-crafted Easter Eggs in the highest quality chocolate for the lucky children.

“It is very rewarding to be able to use my skills and know that 12 children will enjoy an exciting Easter Egg Hunt with the Prime Minister and will get to eat these tasty treats,” says Robert Bok.

Robert who has an international reputation for his chocolate and sugar creations has won many competitions both in New Zealand and overseas. He worked as the Executive Pastry Chef at Sky City prior to joining the Wellington Institute of Technology in 2012.

“Each Easter Egg took eight hours to create. Firstly speckles and colours were added to the outer shell. The Easter Egg mould was then flooded with tempered Belgian Couverture chocolate which is a chocolate with a high cocoa butter content used by gourmet and culinary professionals. When the chocolate crystalised it was carefully removed and the shells joined up as a whole. Each egg has a prize and one egg has an extra special lucky ticket encased in gold and inserted into an egg which will await discovery tomorrow,” says Robert Bok.

Ben Shadbolt Head of the Wellington Institute of Technology’s School of Hospitality says, “We are very lucky to have such highly talented and compassionate lecturers such as Robert Bok. The spontaneous support for the community epitomises the spirit of our School. The lecturers have been able to support a number of requests, to bring happiness to the lives of others over the years.

“Hospitality is much more than just a job, it is a profession where the skills that you acquire can make a huge impact on the lives of others,” says Ben Shadbolt.
