Santa's boot lands at Four Seasons

If you want to see a unique Christmas decoration, just visit the Four Seasons Hotel lobby, where a giant Santa boot made of chocolate is on display from Dec. 5 through Dec. 28.

Standing three meters high, the boot is also decorated with pralines and various candies to give it that holiday sparkle.

The boot uses 192 kilograms of dark, milk and white chocolate, with sponsorship from The Embassy of Chocolate Tulip, and took 14 days to design, carve and decorate.

The giant boot is the creation of executive pastry chef I Made Kona and kitchen artist Sobari Firmansyah, with the help of pastry and bakery staff members.

Now, how tall would be the Santa who filled these shoes?
