After a sleepless night the pimp team had an early start and cut down the
now hard dried two layer kinder. With some caution the airfilled confection
was taken out into the garden and set down carefully. Following the
explosion of the previous day the egg was approached with caution and the
protruding rubber of the balloon pierced very slightly to allow a slow and
steady release of the air inside. Once risk of explosion had passed and the
device had been rendered harmless it was returned to the kitchen/lab and a
hot blade was passed through it's two layered shell slicing the two tone
construction into two perfect halves.

Now in two the obscene kinder was worked on by the team pimp technicians
who, to the detriment of their manicure, peeled the last of the balloon from
the inner white chocolate layer. Once the inner was picked clean hot spoons
were used to partially melt and reshape the top of the construction to
acheive a more authentic egg shape and neaten the cut edges. The job was
done. The gargantuan snack was then posed and photographed next to it's
smaller and less impressive cousin then carefully dressed and accessorised
with a replica surprise toy that had been encapsulated in a butchered
lemonade bottle.

The team debriefed and discussed at length the outcome of the project.
There was some disappointment that the outer shell was a bit knobbly and had
no shine (a web search and a phone call to our dad revealed that the melting
temperature of chocolate is crucial to the appearance of the finished
confection) ((we weren't to know)) and we were cross that we had ruined the
lawn with spray filler foam. We were however delighted that in both taste
and texture our colossal pimp was as delicious as the original and the
surprise toy was as thoroughly disappointing as one might expect from a shop
bought egg. During the antiques roadshow the team ate and enjoyed a full
half a shell - yum.
