Competition: A chance to win Lottie’s giant chocolate meatball Easter Egg at Frankie & Benny’s

Pure Chocolate, white chocolate and jelly pasta, strawberry and raspberry coulis with sweet decorations

The Great British Bake Off star Lottie Bedlow has created the world’s first giant chocolate meatball shaped Easter Egg!

Lottie, known for her chocolate desserts, even created pasta made from white chocolate to create the perfect chocoholic dish.

The 33-year-old baker, who appeared in the New Year’s Day special of the popular Channel 4 show teamed up with top Italian American restaurant Frankie & Benny’s to make the unique pure chocolate Easter Egg.

The restaurant is famous for its popular meatballs and wanted to showcase the much loved dish but with an Easter theme. 

So they asked Lottie to make a football sized meatball, ten times the size of a normal meatball, made out of pure indulgent chocolate. And the result looks amazing!

The giant chocolate Easter egg took 30 hours to practice and perfect, five hours to make and assemble and comes complete with white chocolate and jelly pasta, a strawberry and raspberry coulis sauce with sweet donations.

And if you pop into Frankie & Benny’s this Easter you are in with a chance to win this amazing chocolate treat.

Lottie said: “I was tasked by Frankie & Benny’s to make a giant meatball complete with spaghetti, they wanted it football size, made of pure chocolate and hollow inside. The first attempt with the mould failed and the balloon technique – absolutely not!

Good Friday’s a great Friday for Sheelagh

It certainly was a ‘Good Friday’ for Sheelagh Robertson of Tranent when she won £10,000 on Cash Register on Forth 1.

Sheelagh, a retired NHS cook, was one of the ten lucky people who won a share of £100,000 after texting into the special Easter competition. 

Sheelagh said: “I can’t believe I actually won and like many people this money will come in handy at this time.  My son, David, is a self-employed joiner so he is currently out of work so I plan to give him half the money to help him get through this uncertain time.

 “I will spend the other £5,000 on my garden as I recently got a conservatory fitted and that will mean the garden can be ready for any sunny weather ahead.” 

Presenter, Grant Thomson, said: “This was a very special Cash Register and it was brilliant to be able to give 10 different people a share of £100,000. This is a difficult time for everyone and we are delighted that we have been able to help Sheelagh and her family make Good Friday into a great Friday.”
