This is hilarious :-) My first reaction was "Not ANOTHER Matterhorn" before I realized this was actually carved chocolate. I admire the effort. The sky's a treat. You get the originality star :-)
I am always amazed how much work some photographers on this site spend taking their photos, kudos to you. I wonder how many people thought this was Margaret’s, although I didn’t think she would do something like this.
