BARCELONA CELEBRATES EASTER WITH A HUMAN-SIZE RAFA NADAL CHOCOLATE
10th of April
Popular Patisserie Prats de Lleida in Spain, has chosen Rafa Nadal as the character for this year’s ‘monumental’ cake done especially for Easter.
The ‘sculpture’ was carved using more than a 110 kilos of chocolate that represent the Wimbledon, Roland Garros, and Australian Open champion in his trademark ‘Vamos!’ stance (used by Rafael when he wins very important points).
Ramón Prats, the artist behind this extravagant cake, explained to EFE in an interview that the reason behind choosing Rafa’s face for the cake was simply because he thought it would be a nice tribute for all the amazing achievements that contributed with getting the number one ranking.
“Each year we choose a personality that we believe deserves our dedication and a special ‘monument’", said Prats after sharing that last year’s cake went to Barça’s player, Bojan Krkic.
This chocolate sculpture is part of a monumental Easter collection that they have been doing for over a 100 years to celebrate the popular Christian holy week.
Some of the other famous people that have had a cake made for them include: Pedro Almodóvar, Ronaldo, Pau Gasol, Fernando Alonso, Albert, Àlex Corretja, amongst others.
