Chocolate Show in NYC


A team of us in school designed and built a chocolate showpiece for the 9th annual Chocolate Show in New York City. We had four teams each working on their own side of the chocolate shrine. Our side was modeled after the Chichen Itza in Mexico. It is fitting because the mayans are the ones who are credited for discovering chocolate. The picture doesn't do it justice. There's so much detail in the textures and figurines that my camera didn't pick up. It was a great experience to be part of a team and design something and then see it come to life on display with hundreds of people looking at it. I think it came out really amazing.


The "front door" of the shrine was made by our instructor. I couldn't get a good picture of it but you can see it here.
