According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the sculpture is made from milk, dark and white chocolate totally 90 pounds, as well as 10 pounds of fondant and 20 pounds of Rice Krispie Treats.

Assistant executive pastry chefs Yamilet Hillers and Jerome Jacob worked for five weeks on the life-size sculpture.
For Hillers, the most difficult part was creating the helmet.
“It has a lot of intricate areas,” she said. “It has a knight on one side and a little bit of the Las Vegas skyline on the other.”
