MOST EXTRAVAGANT EASTER BUNNY IN THE WORLD GOES ON SALE

Looking for a perfect Easter gift for that chocoholic in your life?

Well if you have a spare GBP �33,000 (USD $49,000) then website VeryFirstTo.com may have the answer.

They are selling a 38cm high Easter bunny, which has been hand-carved from a block of 75 percent Tanzania-origin chocolate by award-winning chocolatier and International pastry consultant Martin Chiffers - a former chef decor of Harrods.

The bunny's eyes have added sparkle from two 1.70 carat round brilliant diamonds, which have been nestled into the chocolate, with a combined value of over GBP �25,000.

"We're now coming towards Easter and we wanted to come up with the dream Easter gift and we couldn't think of anything more unprecedented and remarkable than a beautifully carved chocolate Eater bunny enhanced by the most phenomenal 1.70 carat diamonds," says Marcel Knobil, founder of VeryFirstTo.

"I think most rabbits are probably accustomed to standard carrots but you can't imagine more impressive carats than these for what is the most extravagant Easter bunny in the world."

The chocolate bunny took two days to carve and weighs around five kilograms. That means that it contains about 584,000 calories.

And though it wasn't intended as an edible treat, the buyer may find it hard to resist.

"Every time I've been close to it, it's just smelt delicious," says Tobias Kormind, managing director of 77 Diamonds, who provided the stones.

"You just want to lean in and nibble the ear a little bit."

For those who can resist the temptation to eat it, the bunny can be displayed for two years if its temperature is regulated to around 16 degrees.

If it's purchased, a donation of GBP �1,000 will be made to The Prince's Trust charity.

77 Diamonds have offered to create a bespoke piece of jewelry for the buyer featuring the gems free of charge.

Smaller stones are available upon request, which would reduce the total cost.

Easter egg hunt. (April 23)

A SCUBA diving Easter bunny has hidden hard-boiled eggs in the Florida Keys

National Marine Sanctuary off Key Largo preparing for an annual underwater

Easter egg hunt.

In what has become a Florida Keys tradition, Atlantis Dive Shop owner

Spencer Slate donned a rabbit costume Tuesday and dove to pre-position some

of the eggs in the sand along the edge of the reef.

Real eggs and nontoxic colorings are used to avoid negative ecological

impacts.

On Easter Sunday, back in the rabbit costume, Slate is to lead a special

tour to the reef where divers will descend to locate the eggs and win prizes

and a top award for the finding of a special golden egg.

The hunt serves as a fundraiser for Kids In Special Situations, a not-for-

profit trust that provides gifts and support to needy children.

BUNNY HOPPING

German Easter bunnies weren't busy hiding Easter eggs on Sunday, instead they were jumping fences with so much energy, some racehorses would have been put to shame.

The tradition of rabbit jumping comes from Scandinavia, explained Jasmin Stratmeyer, a proud rabbit owner.

"Kaninhop" (Danish for rabbit jumping) is pretty much like show jumping for horses and it started in Scandinavia about two decades ago.

Today "Kaninhop" is a rather organised sport with competitions in several classes and disciplines as well as a formal set of rules.

In Bremen, the rabbits jumped over 15 to 20 centimetres high hurdles in a series of 10 hurdles.

During the race the rabbits are led by their owners on a leash.

The rabbit breeders club of Bremen organised four showcases during the Easter weekend.

"Rabbits like to jump and we just encourage them to do what they would naturally do", said Rainer Brase, the spokesman of the regional association of rabbit breeders in Bremen.

With true German efficiency the owners prepared for the event: "We have a training session every Tuesday from 7.30 to 9.30 pm in the indoor school and Sundays from 11 am to 1 pm", explained 14-year-old rabbit owner Jasmin Stratmeyer from Bremen.

The disciplines in "Kaninhop" are Straight course, Winding course, the long jump and the high jump.

Current records are 99� cm for the high jump and 300 cm for the long jump.

It's the time of year when children's minds start turning to a

floppy eared creature that brings chocolate eggs at Easter time.

And along with the eggs children sometimes want a real rabbit in

their easter baskets.

However the Hummane Society is warning parents against bringing

home a Flopsey, Mopsey or Cottontail for the children, saying

rabbits are not as easy to care for as you might think.

The Hummane Society says a stuffed bunny is probably a better

bet as an Easter gift, after all an Easter Bunny is not just for

Easter it's for life.

STORYLINE

THE BUNNY MUSEUM

When Candace Frazee and her husband Steve Lubanksi exchanged bunnies on Valentine''s day they didn''t know they were on their way to holding the largest collection of bunnies in the world.

But one led to another and now 26,000 bunnies later the couple have broken a Guinness World Record and have turned their home into a bunny museum.

Frazee and Lubansky been collecting bunny-related items for 18 years, and has been running the museum in their home for 12 years.

Frazee said the couple''s interest in bunnies began when they were dating, when she called Lubanski her "honey bunny."

Lubanski bought Frazee a stuffed bunny for Valentine''s Day; she then bought him a porcelain bunny for Easter, and soon they were buying each other bunnies as love tokens.

The stuffed white bunny that began the couple''s bunny obsession is now on display at the Bunny Museum -- along with more than 26,000 other bunnies and bunny-related items.

The Guinness Book of World Records has recognised The Bunny Museum for having the world''s largest collection of bunnies.

Frazee describes The Bunny Museum as "a living museum," because it is located in the couple''s home.

They hold down full-time jobs, he runs a bicycle shop and she is a writer who works from home, and Frazee gives tours of the museum by appointment only; there is no admission fee.

Frazee has published one book about bunnies and is working on a second, in between her duties running the museum.

The museum includes the couple''s five pet rabbits, who are not kept in cages; rather, they are free to roam about the house.

Visitors are encouraged to bring vegetables to feed to the pet bunnies, and the museum accepts donations of bunny-related items.

Frazee said the most popular item in the museum is a ceramic water pitcher that resembles Elvis Presley.

Frazee said she has nearly run out of room in her home, so she is looking for a bigger location for her museum.

LEAD IN:

Swiss chocolatiers have experienced a downturn in demand this year.

Chocolate exports have dropped as a consequence of the global economic downturn.

And chocolate sales are down by 30 per cent in 2009, according to the Swiss Federal Customs Administration.

STORYLINE:

Hundreds of identical chocolate bunnies appear on the production line at the famous Lindt & Spruengli chocolate factory near Zurich, ready to be dressed in their familiar gold wrapping for Easter.

Springtime in Switzerland means Alpine meadows, milk and chocolate.

In the the village of Bougy-Villars, near Lake Geneva, Tristan's chocolaterie comes alive at Easter time.

He enjoys a reputation for quality and his prices reflect the handcrafted product.

Here a medium sized egg sells for 80 Swiss Francs (70 US dollars).

Tristan's Easter bunnies will adorn some of the richest tables of this wealthy corner of Europe.

Tristan says his secret is freshness: all the chocolate bunnies are made the night before or even on the same morning by selecting the finest cocoas, pistachios, almonds, nuts.

Tristan says that although for Easter people buy more milk chocolate, there is an overall demand for dark chocolate, which he says accounts for 70 per cent of his sales.

But this year Lindt & Spruengli's signature bunny didn't travel so well.

The company said in March that it would not meet profit and growth targets this year due to the global economic downturn, as cash short consumers cut back on luxuries.

Lindt & Spruengli's slow down is part of a national trend: Swiss exports, ranging from cheese and chocolate to watches and medicines, dropped by almost a fifth at the start of 2009.

The Federal Customs Administration says exports from Switzerland were down 17.3 percent to CHF 14.4 billion (USD 12.6 billion) during the first two months of 2009 as the global economic downturn reduced demand from overseas markets.

Cheese and chocolate _ which only account for a small share of Switzerland's exports but have a firm place in foreigners' imagination of the country _ fell by almost 20 percent and 30 percent respectively.

Swiss companies are highly dependent on exports, most of which go to surrounding European Union countries.

Switzerland itself is outside the 27-nation bloc but sells much of its produce to Germany, France and other EU members.

After years of solid growth the country's economy is expected to shrink by 2.2 percent this year, according to the Economics Ministry.

Philippe Gumy is a financial journalist at the Geneva based daily newspaper Le Temps.

He says the recession has hit the chocolate industry the same as it has many other sectors.

Sixty per cent of Swiss chocolate goes for export, explains Gumy, so sales automatically went down in recession-hit countries, like Germany, France and Britain.

Gumy says that around twenty companies produce chocolate in Switzerland accounting for 1,8 billion Swiss Francs (1.6 billion US dollars) in exports, a drop in the water, compared to the 100 billion Swiss exports.

But, as he observes, chocolate is a very Swiss product and has come to define the image of the country, along with watches, the Alps and banks.

Geneva, a prime location for chocolate lovers, is dotted with chocolate shops and cafes.

Resident Alan Magrot says buying chocolate is a habit done with the heart and he won't stop, in spite of the crisis.

LEADIN:

Chocolatiers across Beverly Hills and Hollywood are gearing up for Easter with their latest, high-end creations.

It comes as annual global chocolate sales are expected to top more than 100 billion US dollars for the first time.

STORYLINE:

Easter is fast approaching, a time for chocolatiers to bring out their most impressive and expensive creations.

And in Beverly Hills and Hollywood, the Easter delights are at their most luxurious.

From 18 karat gold bunnies to Jackson Pollock-inspired eggs, there is plenty to tempt customers, as long as they've got a budget to match.

Ed Engoron, President and CEO of Perspectives/The Consulting Group, an international food and restaurant consulting firm, says chocolate sales are at an all time high worldwide:

"Well the chocolate industry right now is very exciting both for consumers and processors because we are going broach over 100 billion dollars this year and that's the first time. That's up about 8 percent in the last 10 years. The Swiss continue to consume the most chocolate and that's right about 10 kilos a year. The Austrians and the Germans follow very closely behind and that is about 9 kilos a year and America is right around, somewhere around 5 kilos a year," he says.

The market research agency Statista says that increased consumption from India, China and Asian Pacific countries is driving the industry, as those consumers grow more accustomed to 'Western' tastes, along with a belief in the health benefits of eating dark chocolate.

The appetite for chocolate has been growing so much that analysts predict a 30 percent increase in global cocoa demand by 2020.

Edelweiss Chocolates of Beverly Hills has been a chocolate institution since 1942.

During the golden Age of Hollywood, it catered to Hollywood royalty, including the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra and Katherine Hepburn.

The store is filled with handmade premium artisan chocolates, made using traditional techniques and sold in Hollywood and abroad.

Owned by the Zahir family, Edelweiss has enjoyed a unique place in the fabric of Beverly Hills history for many years.

Lucille Ball was a regular customer of Edelweiss and used to enter through the backdoor, passing the conveyor belt.

Rumour has it the infamous chocolate conveyer belt episode in I Love Lucy was inspired by Edelweiss.

Danny Zahirpour, the creative director and head chocolatier, says vibrant colours on chocolate eggs are the big trend this year.

In line with that trend, he's created a modern speckled painted Easter egg made from scratch with a splatter technique.

Each cost 59.95 US Dollars and are in big demand this season.

"They are hand molded and we speckle them with coloured coco butter by hand so it's almost like a handpainted design," he says.

"Think about Jackson Pollack, splattering the paint on the molds. Then we shell the egg and then we demold them and put them together in a 3D fashion and then they stand on a platform and then they are boxed with a beautiful Spring ribbon."

He also hand brushes and paints 18-karat gold chocolate bunnies which sell for 24.95 US Dollars each.

He says Easter is a time people will spend more money on fine, handcrafted chocolates.

Katherine Spiers, food critic at KCRW, NPR public radio agrees.

"People like to eat fancy chocolate around Easter. This is the holiday where you will see people spending more of their money on the high-end chocolates so the expensive chocolatiers are going to see a big bump in business around Easter compared to say Valentine's Day and Halloween," she says.

Kelly Green and John Kelson (aka John Kelly Chocolates) cater to Hollywood's elite and are known for some of the finest chocolates.

They specialise in handmade, ultra luxurious gift boxes and presentations, making their chocolates with natural ingredients in small batches.

One of their most popular items at Easter is the combined dark and milk chocolate bunnies in small round gift boxes (10.50 US Dollars for two bunnies).

They say they sell thousands of these bunnies each Easter.

Kelson says artisan, high quality chocolates are the biggest growing segment and are hugely popular with corporate Hollywood and VIPS.

"We have a big celebrity clientele. We're located in the heart of Hollywood in Los Angeles. I mean you can't get anymore in the centre of entertainment that that. So we do a lot of business with the studios. We have a lot of celebrities that do come directly to our stores and buy from us," he says.

Kelson says their business keeps growing and there is always a peak in business around holiday times.

He says e-commerce is also growing in leaps and bounds as people want the convenience of shopping online.

LEAD IN:

An exhibition of around one thousand painted and decorated Easter eggs are on show at the Saxon Folk Art Museum in the German city of Dresden.

The museum's complete collection boasts around four thousand eggs in total.

Decorating Easter eggs is one of many folk arts with a long tradition in Germany, particularly in Saxony.

STORYLINE

The decorated Easter egg exhibition at the Saxon Folk Art Museum in Dresden displays not just a vast collection of eggs, but also provides a forum for local and international artists.

A variety of different craft techniques can be seen in the exhibition.

The egg was originally a symbol for fertility in many cultures.

For the Christian religion, eggs symbolise new life and rebirth.

Manufacturer of Sorbian eggs, Baerbel Lange, says decorating eggs is fun and gets her and her friends in the Easter mood.

She says she looks forward to Easter from the end of January onwards - largely due to egg decoration.

The egg is attractive to folk artists mostly because of its shape, form and surface.

Russian artist, Wassa Rosina-Bergmann, says she is fascinated by the way an image develops around the egg.

She says Russian style eggs are popular and are highly distinctive.

In the Russian tradition, artists use wooden eggs of different sizes, which are painted with lacquer.

Eggs decorated with traditional Sorbian methods are usually hard boiled.

Sorbian artists used various techniques, such as engraving the eggs with a quill.

Motifs on eggs are supposed to protect house and home.

Decorations on eggs in the exhibition range from hen's eggs to ostrich and dove's eggs.

Some eggs are decorated with the traditional Easter bunnies.

Others depict the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and classical and modern designs.

One egg on display even has horseshoes, traditionally created by Hungarian blacksmiths.

The curator of Saxon Folk Art Museum, Bernd Herrde, says the horseshoe technique means to paste straw applications onto the egg's surface.

He says eggs are then coloured with natural pigments or pasted up with gemstones.

The exhibition has been running seventeen years and takes place from 15 - 30th March each year.

New Yorkers have been celebrating Easter in style.

Thousands of people took to Fifth Avenue, Sunday, sporting festive bonnets and hats of every colour, shape and size.

But it wasn't just New Yorkers who made merry -- some of the Easter bunnies and chicks had come from as far a field as Mexico and Canada to join the Easter parade.

The Easter Sunday celebration in New York City began as many around the world, with a religious service to remember Jesus Christ's resurrection.

At the Catholic Cathedral of St. Patrick, Cardinal O'Connor celebrated mass for thousands while thousands more celebrated another tradition outside the church.

Not that it's an organised affair, but every year New Yorkers dress up and celebrate the Easter Holiday.

The hats range from the bazaar to the ridiculous, many of them almost as tall as the wearers.

It's a chance for a street party New York Style.

Families came down from as far away as Canada and Mexico to join the festivities.

Young and old, they wore their bunny bands, Easter chicks and bonnets with a sense of pride even if they were too young to know the true meaning of Easter.

Hundreds of children gathered on the White House lawn on Monday for the annual Easter egg roll.

30-thousand children and their families converged on the South Lawn to participate in an annual tradition dating back 120 years.

The Marine band, seated in the shade of the South Portico, played, "The Easter Parade," instead of "Hail to the Chief" as the president entered.

Easter bunnies flanked him and waved to the kids.

Giant costumed Easter eggs, each wearing a bright Easter bonnet, danced near a display of Easter confections made by pastry chefs from around the country.

One showed an egg-shaped globe held aloft by two angels.

Another featured Socks, the White House cat.

After being introduced by the First Lady, the president expressed confidence that the roll would go smoothly.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"Are we ready to start the egg roll? Barney where is the whistle? This is the one thing every year I know no matter what else happens I will do right. I'm going to count three and blow the whistle, right? One, two, three ....."

SUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, U.S. President

The White House kitchen dyed 7,200 hard-boiled eggs for the egg roll, an Easter Monday event that dates to 1879 and the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes.

The crowds began lining up way before dawn to get tickets for access to the lawn.

The main event involves a child aged three to six to take a large spoon and roll a hard-boiled egg across about 20 feet (6 metres) of lawn.

An additional two and a half thousand eggs were ready for children to colour themselves at the on the sprawling South Lawn and the adjoining Ellipse.

Some 25-thousand durable wooden keepsake eggs were ready for distribution to the guests, all aged from three to six years old.

No adults are allowed without such a child in tow

Each of the gift egg had the silhouette of the White House and the engraved signatures of the president and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton on them.

This year, in an innovation unimaginable to Rutherford and Lucy Hayes, the egg roll, story-telling by celebrities and Clinton's welcoming remarks were being cybercast over the Internet.

The Clintons celebrated their own Easter holiday Sunday at Camp David, the presidential retreat in western Maryland.

There, the president watched the Masters golf tournament on television and received thanks from world leaders for his help in brokering a Northern Ireland peace agreement.
