The Robin Collective, A London-based creative agency, teamed up alongside sculptors David Bradley and Jacqui Kelly and designers Guy Roberts and Robin Fegen to unveil a lifelike rendition of the Queen this week that is made entirely out of cheese. The sculpture, aptly titled Brieyoncé (I would be extremely disappointed if it were named anything else) took approximately twenty-eight hours to create and is made out solid cheddar, forty-five pounds to be precise. Very disappointed that she is not actually made of brie, but I think we can let it slide for the Queen.
The sculpture is of course modeled after Bey's now iconic pregnancy announcement back in February, and like Bey, Brieyoncé is shrouded in a veil as flowers gaze upon her. She will make her debut at the East Village Cheese and Wine Festival in London and compete in the E20 Cheese Carving Championships this weekend, but it is unclear whether or not she will be eaten or preserved.
"Hopefully she won't lose her formation," hopes Rosa Holmes of The Robin Collective. And yes. You better believe I nearly flipped a table when I read that.
