Jade Genin transforms Easter eggs into works of art

For Easter, Jade Genin transforms chocolate into an exceptional sculpture. Blooma, her latest creation, is as fascinating to contemplate as it is to taste.

At Jade Genin, Easter isn't just about indulgence. Each creation is conceived as a work of art, where chocolate is fashioned with as much meticulousness as a piece of jewelry. This year, the house pushes back the limits of its know-how with Blooma, a piece that invites both admiration and temptation.

A work of goldsmith

Behind Blooma lies an unusual source of inspiration: a 17-metre chandelier suspended in the entrance hall of Maison Villeroy, a renowned Paris hotel. Designed by Atelier Alain Ellouz, the fixture consists of 35 alabaster spheres, suspended by rods from the ceiling. Jade Genin, chocolatier, chose to reverse this perspective, imagining a structure where gilded brass rods rise from a transparent base to carry 11 chocolate eggs. Like a field of blossoming eggs.

Every detail has been meticulously considered. The eggs are hand-painted, a reminder of the company's colorist savoir-faire. The precision of the chocolate workmanship is reminiscent of jewelry. To sublimate her creation, Jade Genin called on Marine Billet, an artisan jeweller, to create a mould from real daisies. These flowers, molded in chocolate and delicately gilded, adorn each egg.

But Blooma is more than just an object to admire: it's also a taste experience. As beautiful as they are, these eggs are also made to be eaten. inside, four refined praline combinations: a pine nut praline infused with rose petals, an almond praline infused with vanilla, an almond and green cardamom praline and a Bronte pistachio praline.

A structure designed to last

Once the eggs have been tasted, Blooma doesn't disappear. Maison Genin offers with each piece a mold for making your own chocolate lollipops, reusing the gilded brass rods and Plexiglas base. A "do it yourself" approach that makes this creation infinitely reusable.

Price: 98 euros
Available at the Jade Genin boutique from March 26, 2025. 33 avenue de l'Opéra, 75002 Paris
