Charles and the chocolate factory! King's head made from 2,875 melted Celebrations
ok.co.ukA life-sized bust of King Charles has been made from more than 17 litres of melted Celebrations chocolates amid the build-up to the Coronation.
The bust – which weighs over 23kg and took four weeks to create – was designed by an expert team of chocolatiers and model makers who carefully planned how to make the profile view of Charles look as close as possible to the image of him which will soon grace stamps, coins and banknotes.
Different chocolates from the confectionery brand have added sweet touches to elements of the royal bust. The uniform Charles is expected to wear at the coronation is the same on the sculpture, with the epaulettes – a type of ornamental shoulder piece – embellished with Twix, Milky Way, Galaxy and Bounty Celebrations chocolates.
One of the iconic confectionery brands’ favourites – Maltesers Teasers – have been used on the collar, with the medals on the chest of the bust featuring chocolates including Snickers.
