AmericaJR’s Jason Rzucidlo recently visited ARIA Resort & Casino to check out the Las Vegas Aces Championship Chocolate Masterpiece. The display includes superstar players Kelsey Plum, A’ja Wilson and Jackie Young; a massive basketball; wood-planked flooring; the iconic Las Vegas skyline; and more, all made from edible ingredients. Conceptualized by Executive Pastry Chef Mathieu Lavallee and the ARIA Pastry team, the handmade art was produced using 100 pounds of chocolate, 100 pounds of fondant and 80 pounds of sugar. From initial creative vision meetings through final installation it took five team members 92 hours to complete.
