It's only semi autobiographical
Sunday, April 11, 2004
These included several which were immediately scornfully put down by two members of the group, and several which, after careful consideration were dismissed. The favoured technique was that the two halves of the egg are made separately, then stuck/melted together afterwards. This certainly seems to be the case for Cadburys dairy milk eggs.
However, it was soon found that in a "Celebrations" egg, there was no seam on the inside, and the one on the outside appeared to be simply etched on, along with the patern. So far the only method we can think of is that the egg is formed by spraying molten chocolate onto the inside of a chilled egg shaped mould from a kind of needle like device, which is withdrawn with a final squirt to fill the hole.
My personal favourite idea was that they bubble air up through a vat of cooling chocolate, and when it is solid, using sophisticated radar technology, they find the correct sized bubbles and cut out the lump of chocolate surrounding them, which is whittled down to an egg shape, then decorated. The remaining chocolate is then returned to the vat.
Anyway... please send in any better answers to Simple superiority at hotmail dot com. Thanks.
Now I'm hungry, and I'm going to find eggs.
