A year or so ago I saw some pictures of hard-boiled eggs in cool shapes on Craigslist. I decided I wanted to make some for my kids. The instrument apparently used was a sushimaker, so I got one (thanks Ebay) and then for one reason or another I didn't do anything with it. I finally tried it some time ago and it sort of works. The key is using a small enough egg that fits, putting it when it's stil warm and flexible, and then cooling it down. Alas, the egg usually breaks anyway and the shape doesn't last for long out of the mold - but my girl still liked it.
