Anybody want to pay my way to Naples, Italy?:
Thirty-two pastry chefs in the southern Italian city of Naples unveiled on Saturday what they say is the biggest ever nativity scene made entirely of chocolate.My mouth is watering just typing this. I'm such a chocoholic!
Over 4,500 hours and 7,275 pounds of chocolate have gone into creating the creche which is 19 feet, 8 inches wide, 9 feet, 10 inches high and -- to the delight of chocoholics -- totally edible.
More than 100 figures of shepherds, animals and townspeople decorate the elaborate scene of hills and caves and Mediterranean-style houses. The angelic-looking Madonna (news - web sites) alone took two weeks to make.I don't think it would take me that long to eat it.
