The internet was stunned and captivated with this 66-inch chocolate banana sculpture and praised Chef Guichon for achieving an extraordinary feat. This sculpture marks Guichon's second entry in the Guinness World Record , and his first was for building the largest chocolate balloon animal sculpture of a dog. The first creation had him sculpt a dog entirely in chocolate and then spray it in pink using cocoa butter and food-safe dye.






His second creation depicts a partially peeled banana with the tip dipped in chocolate, and it's particularly impressive when seen next to an actual banana for scale. Explaining his efforts, Chef Guichon stated that in the first few years, there was a lot of trial and error, but now he has developed a better sense of 3D vision.



He mentioned that over the past decade he has been trying to find technique and method to make this simple, beautiful material into pieces of art.
