I love this idea! Is this an offer from the back of jello? Pudding or gelatin?
If it's still good, I think I want one. 

I wonder if you could use sugar paste to make an egg 'shell'.

I've been wanting to get some molds of natural looking objects. I like the
idea of real looking sugar paste walnuts or whatever with prizes inside 
mixed into a bowl of real nuts. For more on working with sugar paste, see
the sugar-paste-msg file in my Florilegium.
