#Chocobatch Mania!!! 

What a fabulous project to have been involved in nearly 10 years ago now !

This is where it all started and where the sister company to this cake business started Chocolatician, with the commission of a chocolate Benedict Cumberbatch...lovingly nicknamed ..the Chocobatch .

We were very excited at the prospect of  working with the amazing team of sculptors and prop makers at Plunge Creations when getting the call from them to ask for chocolate assistance in the making of this 6ft high, 44kg heavy, hunk of choco chunk.

Taylor Herring had approached the Brighton based prop company to make them the life-sized chocolate sculpture of Benedict Cumberbatch for UKTV this Easter. He was to go on display at Westfield Shopping Centre to celebrate the launch of Drama on UKTV’s on demand service.

It took three weeks to make and over 100hrs of chocolate artistry to finish the project. Once erected on his plinth at Westfield it was a pleasure to watch as the public marvelled at his luxurious elegance and rich aroma. Some couldn’t resist his chocolate charms and had a nibble...oopsie!

This really was the start of an extremely creative and successful collaboration for Chocolatician with Plunge Creations.
