Chocolate Sculpture made by students and lecturer displayed at Chatsworth exhibition
Embedded Files
Ruby Osborn and Amy Hobson, who are MSK Academy students at the College and completing Advanced Professional Cookery qualifications, worked with pastry lecturer Len Unwin to create a incredible chocolate sculpture. They were asked by a Private Chef at Chatsworth to create a chocolate centrepiece for a prestigious dinner in the Great Dining Room at the start of October.
The team has created a striking centrepiece inspired by an outdoor exhibition at Chatsworth. The three-dimensional sculpture was crafted from 65 kilos of high quality chocolate, which was melted using two tempering machines and moulded into shape. The chocolate was moulded onto angular shaped foam panels. Once it set, the panels were removed and the chocolate was carefully positioned into place.
It was inspired by artist Christina Sporrong’s Flybrary sculpture, which has been on display during Radical Horizons, the Art of Burning Man at Chatsworth, an outdoor exhibition of monumental sculpture held on the estate in 2022.
Ruby, said: “A lot of detail has gone into creating the sculpture including being able to accurately measure the different shaped panels.” She added: “It’s been a fun project that has enabled us to develop industry skills beyond those covered on our course.”
Visitors to Chatsworth were able to enjoy this chocolate centrepiece until the end of October, and now it is on display at City campus, next to Reception. It looks amazing, so make sure you have a look next time you're walking into College!
