Sweet Spot

If You’ve Got The Chime, He’s Got The Inclination

A 35-foot-high replica of London’s Big Ben, made entirely of chocolate, has been crafted by Italian sweet-makers. The scale model of St Stephen's Tower was sculpted from 17,600 lbs of chocolate by artist Angelo Feduzzi for a Christmas food festival in Macerata Feltria, central Italy. The chocolate tower took two weeks to construct.

FOOTNOTE: Making up time.

WOW! I've got to see this! That's amazing! And speaking of chocolate, my husband and son had chocolate incident this week. Check out "Chocolate Covered Nuttiness". It's too funny!

Wow, this is amazing. Too bad you didn't have a picture to post about it. I just can't imagine the time, the resources and the artistic ability to be able to create a tower out of chocolate! When the sun comes out, does it melt?

two weeks to make, 2 minutes to destroy...especially if the audience is mostly women...

Monumental decadence?

Thirty-five foot high? You'd be thirty-five foot wide after polishing that lot off!
