A Life Size Model Of The Queen Has Been Made!


A bit about Queen Elizabeth II...
Queen Elizabeth was born on the 21st of April 1926. She was also born in London and was privately educated at her home. In 1947 Elizabeth married Price Phillip, Duke Of Edinburgh with whom she has four children: Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward.

You probably won’t believe this, but a life size model of the Queen herself has been made.... OUT OF SUGAR!
<----------------------------------------------------
A sugar artist called Michelle Wibowo from West Sussex has recreated Her Majesty out of sugar! As well as her faithful companion corgi using only fruit cake! How amazing is that!?

Michelle said: “It's a similar technique to when you use clay, when you sculpt. It's sort of the same thing. It's just stickier!"
If you’re wondering how long it took Michelle to completely sculpt all of Her Majesty and her corgi. It took her a whopping 100 hours and she used a total of 25kg of sugar to make it all!

Michelle explained: "It's difficult with sugar. You can't keep adding more and more sugar. The more you add, you'll see the joins."

Previously, Michelle won gold at Culinary Olympics in Germany last month which is a spectacular achievement! Finally, Michelle’s models of the Queen of her corgi are being saved for special appearances at food exhibitions. Let’s hope that nobody eats these wonderful art pieces! I know I wouldn’t, would you?
