Cadbury's expert chocolatiers create Windsor Castle ahead of royal wedding

Redditch Editorial 19th May, 2018   0

CONFECTIONERY masters at Cadbury World has unveiled its latest creation to celebrate the upcoming royal wedding – a chocolate recreation of Windsor Castle.

The chocolate ‘building’ will be on display in Cadbury World’s chocolate making zone throughout May and June.

Weighing in at around 50kg, the equivalent of 1,111 bars of standard Cadbury Dairy Milk, and measuring 75cm tall, the towering creation took chocolatiers four days to bring to life.

Fashioned on site, at the Cadbury World attraction in Bournville, the design is a replica of the front facade and turrets of Windsor Castle, featuring the Henry VIII Gate with St George’s Chapel visible in the background.




Each brick of the castle has been individually hand scored by the talented chocolatiers, with an intricate coat of arms placed above the gate. The chapel has hand piped details, and is adorned with delicate chocolate flowers.

To complete the creation, standing guard are eight hand-crafted soldiers in red jackets and bearskin hats.


Marketing manager at Cadbury World, Diane Mitchell said: “Our chocolatiers never fail to create something fit for royalty to celebrate a special occasion, but I think Windsor Castle may well be their crowning glory.”

“We look forward to sharing the creation up close with Cadbury World visitors and wish Prince Harry and Meghan a wonderful and very happy life together.”
