Largest Chocolate Sculpture

Chocolate  is one of the popular food types and flavours in the world .And it is precisely  one of the biggest hit among  kids.Children  love to lay their hands on chocolates as much as they can.And for all such chocolate lovers  they need no other better place to pay  their homage to their mouth watering favourite treat.this has come from the famous chocolate makers and so you need not have any doubts.
California based   Chocolate maker Qzina Chocolate and pastry have broken the record of creating the largest chocolate sculpture building it on the lines of the ancient Mayan  Kukulcan   temple pyramid at Chichen Itza, in Mexico .This has become a delicious place of worship.The first of its kind of place of worship  which offers more temptation  to the  taste buds rather than  to offer devotion. They have taken utmost care while creating the sculpture ensuring that the replica has the correct amount of steps  and carvings as present in the original master piece.
The mouth watering six ft tall creation measured 10ft by 10 ft wide and took 400 hours of work from the staff of the pastry unit .
Qzina Chocolate and pastry made this delicious temple to welcome its 30th year of existence in a grand way.They chose to replicate the Mayan for the crucial role the later played in the origin of chocolates.The Mayans were the first to discover the true potential of the cocoa bean and cultivate the Cacao tree .They realised the taste and the addicting possibilities of  cocoa that they worshipped the Cacao tree and praised its beans as the gifts of God.
The sculpture weighs 18,239 pounds  surpassing the Italian record in 2010 for more than 7500 pounds.
The sculpture also has 365 steps representing the Mayan calendar and the makers carved  the images of small Mayan Tribesmen  to adorn the model.
This made in to the headlines on May 15,2012 in California,United States of America.With the amount of planning and intensive  research done for building the sculpture in an attempt  to honour the original chocolate  inventors gained  to make a world record .This has really proved out to be a master piece for the chocolate Institute.
