Starting with giant blocks, and using clay-sculpting tools, a British woman has carved the entire nativity scene - out of cheddar.
Prudence Staite, a food artist from Gloucestershire, U.K., has defied the laws of dairy this festive season and hand crafted the Biblical Nativity scene using 40 kilograms of cheddar. We camembert it.
There is, of course, a cheese Joseph and cheese Mary huddled around a cheese crib with a cheese shepherd and even cheese wise men carrying gifts of Branston pickle, as well as cheese sheep, a cheese cow and, of course, a cheese donkey in tow. But at the centre of the meticulously sculpted model, which also has its own detailed stable housing the characters, is the young infant whose story is so famed – Baby Cheesus.
The sculpture was commissioned by Pilgrims Choice cheddar cheese.
