The hunger for chocolate runs deep in my family...indeed, it is almost as deep a heritage as the Twilight vampire family has for their preferred food. So you can almost taste the excitement I had when I found out that there was a World Chocolate Dream Park in Shanghai. While it was not quite what I had hoped for (I expected an actual chocolate volcano, not just a painting of one...) it was still very interesting and there were some truly fantastic chocolate sculptures. The art was treated with chemicals to keep it from melting and otherwise discoloring over time and with lighting, etc., but you can bet I was still able to get my chocolate fix and stock-up at the gift shop! To give you an idea of the life-size type of art that was sculpted in chocolate and placed on display, here is a picture of me modeling a Ronald McDonald-size pair of shoes:
I want to try and share the chocolate art with family by picking some that I think they'd like to eat:
For Ivan:
For Jill:
For Ryan, who is going skydiving with Jill soon:
For Mel:
For Shannon:
For the aunts, who might love shopping more than chocolate:
For dad, as a challenge to Christmas lights on the house next year:
For mom, to encourage her Easter egg hunt tradition:
For Mel and Ivan, and also Miranda and Russ:
Bon appetit!
