Cadbury World is all set to give visitors a special Halloween treat as it reveals its first ever chocolate pumpkin patch.
Crafted by expert chocolatiers, the eye-catching display boasts 30 hand-decorated pumpkins made from a combination of milk and white chocolate, with each unique gourd tipping the scales at 800 grams. Several pumpkins carry classic spooky season messages, but the showstopper is one adorned with white chocolate footprints, cheekily inscribed with: "Smell my feet".
Cadbury World’s chocolatiers spent weeks making the autumnal creations, which altogether equate to 533 standard Cadbury Dairy Milk bars. These edible works of art will welcome guests at the Cadbury World entrance in Bournville, Birmingham, waiting to bewitch visitors from October 5 to 31, and anyone keen can snap up their very own handcrafted chocolate pumpkin.
Chocolatier Dawn Jenks said: "Our pumpkins are made in a mould. We snap them together with a magnet once we pour the Dairy Milk chocolate in, they go on a spinning machine and the best part is we hand decorate them all. All of our pumpkins are unique, every one is made by hand and hand decorated so no two are the same – we have Day of the Dead ones, we have floral ones, ones with ghosts, spiders they’re all different."
Gerrard Baldwin, the general manager at Cadbury World, said: "It always amazes me how talented the chocolatiers are here at the attraction and the beautiful creations they hand-craft every year. But, the time, patience, and intricacy that has gone into creating hundreds of these detailed hand-crafted pumpkins, made purely out of Cadbury chocolate, really is spectacular."
"We have plenty of choc-tastic activities at the attraction this Halloween and the unveiling of the first-ever chocolate pumpkin patch is the perfect way to celebrate the spooky season."
