Christmas Village Dark Chocolate Carving
36 pounds of dark chocolate
Every year Chef Jorge Caballero creates chocolate showpieces for the Christmas Day Brunch at the Lodge at Sea Island. This year he hand carved a 36 lb. block of dark chocolate into a magical Christmas village. He mentions that he used the same tools to carve fruit in this showpiece. Each year he melts the piece back down to be reworked the next year. This piece has chocolate in it from 2004. After 22 hours of carving, spraying, and hand painting the village was ready for brunch.
