Photos: Benedict Cumberbatch Turned Into A Massive Chocolate Sculpture + How Shoppers Reacted

Popular Hollywood actor Benedict Cumberbatch, has been turned into an edible chocolate sculpture standing at 6ft tall and a whooping 40kg. The artwork was unveiled yesterday by UKTV who used it to mark its acquisition of the third series of Sherlock. The piece took 8 people 250 man hours to create it.
It will be recalled that Benedict Cumberbatch will not be the first person to be a subject of an edible artwork as actress Jennifer Lawrence was once turned into a cake, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were turned into a tasty-looking pizza, while President Barack Obama had his likeness sculpted from butter. Kevin Bacon also has a bacon sculpture to his name while Jamie Dornan has been made into a cake. Continue...
Some shoppers at London's Westfield Stratford City shopping centre where the edible chocolate sculpture was placed however had mixed reactions sighting the subject.
Some looked at it and frowned, while some found it funny and took selfies with it. Others also went forward to touch it, but minded it was just an edible chocolate so as not to fall it. The London Police were also not left out as they came with sniffer dogs who wagged their tails as they gave it a thorough sniffing down (fear of bomb explosions, maybe).
  
So if you walk into a Nigerian mall and find a chocolate sculpture of Ramsey Noah, O.C Ukeje or Desmond Elliot standing right in front of you as you walk in, what will you do? Will you just frown at it and walk away? Smile and take a selfie with it, or just hiss and move on? Lol, what will you do?
