Your support makes all the difference.To mark the launch of the new Hollywood blockbuster Murder on the Orient Express, luxury Belgian chocolatier Godiva has partnered with 20th Century Fox to create a 10-foot replica of Orient Express.
Made from 60kg of premium dark and milk Belgian chocolate, the train weighs the same as 600 chocolate bars, and took experts almost 350 hours to build, and 50 hours to design.
Chocolate sculptor Jen Lindsey-Clark said: It took four people over 350 hours, over two months to create this amazing masterpiece.
“It’s been a fantastically exciting project to work on.”
“I’m absolutely thrilled that it’s finally here in St Pancras International station for everybody to come and see and enjoy,” said Jen, who’s made a name for herself in chocolate artistry after her Benedict Cumberbatch “Cumberbunnies” – the chocolate Easter bunnies featuring the Sherlock star’s head, which went viral on social media.
The replica will be at Godiva St Pancras, where it will be until November 29, before being moved to the Queen Mary on December 11 until January 10, 2018.
