Sprout haters can breathe a sigh of relief this Christmas after a Birmingham confectionary-inspired theme park created a festive roast dinner made entirely out of chocolate. The Cadbury World Christmas dinner is made purely of chocolate and includes a handmade turkey, 13 pigs in blankets, 12 roast potatoes, 11 parsnips, nine carrots, six brussels sprouts, a vegetarian wellington and chocolate gravy.
A carefully curated second course has also been included, featuring a Christmas pudding decorated with holly leaves and a gold shimmering pot of brandy butter and mince pies, all accompanied by a red Christmas cracker. Every component of the festive sweet treat, including the table, has been handcrafted from Cadbury chocolate.
Chocolatiers carved large blocks of milk chocolate to form the shape of the turkey, which was then enhanced with coloured cocoa butter and edible luster. The Christmas confectionary weighs 30kg – the equivalent of 667 standard Cadbury Dairy Milk bars – and is 70cm wide.
The showstopper took the chocolatiers at Cadbury World four days to make by hand. Cadbury World general manager Gerrard Baldwin said: “We always set out to create a showstopper creation for the festive season that captures festive fun, and we’re sure this creation will bring a smile to guest’s faces.
