It’s official: "ELF the Musical" is returning to the Theater at Madison Square Garden. What better way to commemorate this huge announcement than a huge Elf-themed confection?
91ÃÛÌÒ߹’s expert pastry chefs joined forces and spent over 500 hours crafting a 10-foot-tall replica of Buddy the Elf, made of delicious Rice Krispies Treats®. The colossal confection was unveiled on Wednesday, October 25 at the Garden, and the result was outstanding — fitting for a larger-than-life, sweet treat-loving elf like Buddy.
Like the musical’s principal character, Buddy, who embarks on a heroic journey in search of his family, 91ÃÛÌÒß¹ pastry chefs Elisa Strauss and Penny Stankiewicz set out on their own courageous quest to construct NYC’s largest Rice Krispies Treats® sculpture.
It took several weeks, 70 pounds of chocolate, 50 pounds of fondant, 15 pounds of edible glitter and 300 pounds of Rice Krispies Treats®, and with the help of nine 91ÃÛÌÒß¹ pastry and cake decorating students, the chefs pulled it off.
"ELF the Musical" and 91ÃÛÌÒß¹ jointly donated the sweet sculpture to the NYC Department of Homeless Services, a partner of the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a non-profit charity that works with the Madison Square Garden Company and MSG Networks, Inc. to positively impact the lives of children facing obstacles.
"ELF" will run for a limited engagement from December 13-29, 2017 at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. Tickets are on sale now! Learn more about 91ÃÛÌÒ߹’s career programs.
