See the King Charles Sculpture Made of Chocolate in Honor of His Coronation
The United Kingdom is preparing for the coronation of King Charles in all kinds of delicious ways.
Chocolatiers in Slough, England recently unveiled an impressive bust of King Charles sculpted entirely out of chocolate.
Artist chocolatiers Jen Lindsey-Clark and Tim Simpson crafted the edible look-alike for the U.K.-based Mars Wrigley, according to the BBC.
The outlet reported that the chocolate sculpture was made out of 3.7 gallons of melted chocolate and weighs over 50 pounds. To represent King Charles’ medals, the artists used mini bars of Snickers, Twix and more of Mars Wrigley’s chocolates.
In Lindsey-Clark’s Instagram post, she revealed that it was no quick feat — it took four weeks to perfect.
“See if you can spy your favourite in his Royal Highnesses’ uniform ?” she wrote of the uniform the monarch is expected to wear on the historic day, which was detailed in the bust.
Earlier in April, Buckingham Palace shared the first official recipe for the Coronation Big Lunch celebrations happening throughout the crowning ceremony weekend from May 6 to 8: coronation quiche. The dish features spinach, broad beans and tarragon, and a tutorial video of a palace chef preparing the dish was shared along with instructions.
“Introducing… Coronation Quiche! Chosen personally by Their Majesties, The King and The Queen Consort have shared a recipe in celebration of the upcoming #CoronationBigLunch taking place up and down the country,” the Royal Family tweeted.
