In London, a metre-high Faberge treasure has been unveiled.

Made by famous pastry chef Beate Woellstein, it's a chocolate copy of the famous 'Imperial Napoleonic' Faberge egg commissioned by Tsar Nicholas II.

It took 70 hours and 30 kilos of chocolate to make.

The original, made from yellow gold, emeralds, rubies and diamonds, was one of only 52 jewelled eggs made by Peter Carl Faberge.
