Original Toronto Star caption: 300 hours of work went into this 400-pound; multi-colored; solid-chocolate sculpture of the U.S. bald eagle and emblem by pastry chef Alfred Leitch (left). It won him the special bicentennial trophy; as well as top prize for chocolate sculpture at the annual National Restaurant Association Culinary Art show in Chicago last month. Although it was topping on a cake; 4-by-6-foot concoction is now in a frame in the lobby of Toronto airport Holiday Inn.
