It’s the sweetest portrait of them all – Prince William and Prince George have had their picture created entirely out of Toblerone triangles.
Sugar artist Michelle Wibowo has joined with Toblerone to make this gift for Will’s first Father’s Day.
The artwork weighs 154 kg and used over 16,000 chunks – 1,500 bars – of milk, dark and white Toblerone.
The image of the father and son was taken during the Australian leg of their recent Royal tour, when the young Royal family visited Taronga Zoo on Easter Sunday.
