During my July visit to Salisbury I was rather taken with Roly’s Fudge Pantry’s presentation of Stonehenge. An article from the Salisbury Journal provided more information:
STONEHENGE has had a tasty makeover in time for National Fudge Day which takes place today [June 16, 2016].
Roly’s Fudge Pantry has unveiled what is dubbed as ‘Fudgehenge’ for the special occasion and is made entirely from the shop’s best-selling Vanilla Clotted Cream.
The idea for ‘Fudgehenge’ was dreamt up by former PR and marketing directors, Steven Jones and Sarah Orton the co-owners of Roly’s Fudge Pantry Salisbury, when they observed how many of their customers visited Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral.
Steven said: “Stonehenge is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the UK and less than 10 miles away, with many people combining a visit to both the famous prehistoric site with a visit to the cathedral built in 1220. We thought ‘Fudgehenge’ would be an amusing point of interest for thousands of international visitors that will flock past our window this summer on the way into Salisbury Cathedral.”
The model took Sarah several hours to construct with the help of photographs, a sharp knife and cocktail sticks to balance the fudge arches. Now Roly’s Fudge Pantry plans to display the ‘Fudgehenge’ sculpture in its High Street shop window until the end of Augusst.
At the time of the display Roly’s Fudge Pantry were running a ‘Guess the Weight of Fudgehenge’ competition.
If I can’t visit the real thing… I might be happy with this version too.
The real thing is well worth a visit
Funny!
Sigrun
The model took Sarah several hours to construct
and seconds to dismantle and eat !
Possibly for a fudge addict!
Wheeee, that’s my kinda henge.
I have been reliably informed that after the competition was over… Shock horror!!! The fudge construction was replaced by a chocolate henge.
I am not sure what to make of this… should I be worried about the chocolate invader….
Not chocolate – the philistines!
:-O
it looks too good to eat actually!
I am actually more tempted by the thought of a ChocolateHenge, especially if it was dark chocolate
This is TeaseHenge!
HaHaHa
