Chocolate egg vies to smash record

Willam Curley, who has been named Britain's best chocolatier by the Academy of Chocolate five times, is creating the giant egg using materials such as expensive Tuscan Amedei dark chocolate and Japanese Wasabi chocolate. The finished product will be auctioned in London on March 20.

The auctioneers hope to break the current Guinness World Record price for a non-jewelled chocolate egg of £1,000.

The sale is part of The Faberge Big Egg Hunt, a charity event which is trying to break a world record for having the most participants in an Easter egg hunt.

The Big Egg Hunt has seen celebrities such as film director Sir Ridley Scott and jeweller Theo Fennell design and decorate giant fibreglass eggs. Over 200 eggs will be hidden in secret locations thoughout London from tomorrow [TUESDAY] as part of the event. People will be able to bid for the eggs online.

The proceeds will go to Action for Children and Elephant Family, the charities.
