An edible replica of the crown has been created at Cadbury World ahead of the King's Coronation this weekend.
The life size chocolate crown took over two days to create with piping and edible dust to make the illusion of jewels.
In order to create the iconic ermine band, the chocolatiers used molten white chocolate.
The 3D velvet cap within the crown, and the cushion the crown sits on, were created by moulding melted chocolate within a plastic bag before delicately dusting with purple and red food powder to give it that royal look.
The masterpiece was created by chocolatiers Dawn Jenks and Donna Oluban, who handcrafted the delicious sculpture over two days using white and milk chocolate as well as edible lustre.
Donna Oluban said: "We made the throne previously, so we just thought this followed on nicely as a natural progression.
"We needed to see how big the crown was and find what we had to make it inside, so we've made the crown almost life sized."
Gerard Baldwin, General Manager at Cadbury World, said: “The Coronation of King Charles III is sure to be a momentous occasion, so we simply couldn’t let such an important moment in history pass by without joining in on the celebrations!
“Once again, our master chocolatiers have put together a show-stopping creation, their replica of the St Edward’s Crown looks just like the real thing and we’re thrilled to be able to share images of this latest creation.”
It will be on display over the bank holiday weekend for visitors to look at.
