The expert chocolatiers added all of the festive finishing touches by hand, including hand piping the texture of the branches and dusting it with green lustre to create the effect of a traditional pine tree.<\/p>\n<p>The creation is decorated with over 30 ornaments handcrafted from milk and white chocolate, all intricately created using lattice work and brought to life with coloured cocoa butter, edible glitter and metallic lustre. The baubles contain holes for the festive fairy lights to shine through, illuminating the details with colour and Christmas magic.<\/p>\n<p>Each bauble contains an intricate chocolate sculpture inside its dome, including Rudolph, a gingerbread man, turtle doves, a snowman, and even a miniature Cadbury World.<\/p>\n<p>The tree\u2019s base was made using a bucket full of chocolate and set to support the 20kg branches. Underneath the tree sits a chocolatey selection of toys and gifts, which were expertly crafted using cake tins, cookie cutters and ice cube moulds. These include chocolate presents, a \u2018wooden\u2019 train and a toy robot, all coloured beautifully and adorned with Christmas sparkle.<\/p>\n<p>The s<em>n<\/em>owstopping sculpture will be on display in the Chocolate Making zone at Cadbury World for visitors to enjoy over the Christmas period.<br \/>\nGerrard Baldwin, General Manager at Cadbury World, said: \u201cWe are always so impressed by the fantastic creations our chocolatiers create here at Cadbury World, and we are especially excited to show our visitors this dazzling Christmas tree brought to life with the wonderful addition of fairy lights this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe festive period isn\u2019t complete without a Christmas tree and some sweet treats, so we\u2019re very pleased to be sharing the first ever light-up chocolate Christmas tree with everyone enjoying a day out here with us this December.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guests can enjoy a whole host of chocolatey fun at Cadbury World in the lead-up to Christmas, including the family-favourite Santa stage show running every weekend until the big day and from 21<sup>st<\/sup>-23<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0December.<\/p>\n<p>For further information and to book tickets visit:\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.cadburyworld.co.uk\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cadburyworld.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">www.cadburyworld.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CADBURY WORLD REVEALS FIRST EVER LIGHT-UP CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS TREE.
