ARIA creates massive chocolate display dedicated to Las Vegas Aces
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — A Las Vegas Strip resort has come up with a very sweet way to pay tribute to the hometown champs.
ARIA Resort & Casino has unveiled what it calls a pastry art masterpiece, on display at ARIA Patisserie.
The display used 100 pounds of chocolate, 100 pounds of fondant and 80 pounds of sugar to bring silhouettes of superstars A'ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young to life.
It also includes a massive basketball, wood-planked flooring, the Las Vegas skyline and more, all made from edible ingredients.

The entire display took a five-person pastry team 92 hours to complete.
"This spring, we wanted to honor the Las Vegas Aces and the joy and energy they bring to our community," executive pastry chef Mathieu Lavallee said in a statement. "We are so proud of their accomplishments and wish them the very best this season."
The Aces are already off to a pretty sweet start this season. The team is 2-0 after wins at Seattle and Los Angeles and will hold their home opener Saturday, complete with a championship ring ceremony.
