    Frequently asked questions

    Can you eat shaving cream Easter eggs?

    No, they are not edible. Use them as decorations only.

    Can I use gel food coloring instead of liquid food coloring on these shaving cream eggs?

    Yes, gel food coloring will provide a slightly bolder color while liquid food coloring will provide a more pastel appearance.
