From
high atop Jean Philippe Pâtisserie at Bellagio, the infamous Grinch now
overlooks the hustle and bustle of holiday shoppers merrily browsing the
European-inspired pastry shop’s selection of miniature seasonal treats.
Normally the sight of sweet delights and joyful guests would bring a scowl to
the Grinch’s face, however Jean Philippe Pâtisserie’s talented pastry team
worked for three months to transform the holiday-despising Dr. Seuss character
into a sweet symbol of holiday cheer.
The
Grinch’s once empty heart is now filled with sugary goodness, made from 50
pounds of chocolate and 112 pounds of sugar-rolling fondant, an icing-like
decorative ingredient. His notorious grimace is instead a hand-carved grin
symbolizing his revelation of the true meaning of the holidays. Standing tall
at five feet six inches, the Grinch is surrounded by a wonderland of ornaments
and gifts galore made from chocolate and colored fondant set in a bed of fluffy
white snow.
Although
guests won’t find the Grinch carving and serving the roast beast, he does
invite shoppers to take home some treats of their own in festive shapes,
including chocolate praline trees, Santa’s boots and Santa Claus performing a
variety of activities including rollerblading, surfing and skiing. All are
available for purchase in-store at Bellagio and ARIA locations and online atwww.jpchocolates.com. A custom blend of Gingerbread Hot Chocolate mix also is
available to keep guests warm throughout the cold winter nights.
