Chocolate-lovers beware! Zombies in search of their next victim now haunt Jean Philippe Pâtisserie at Bellagio and ARIA in Las Vegas with Halloween-themed displays at both iconic pastry shop locations. From gory and gruesome body parts to whimsical cakes and pastries, the displays cater to every guest, no matter how they prefer to celebrate the holiday. Executive Pastry Chef Claude Escamilla and his talented team worked diligently for eight months to create more than 45 festive showpieces that place the undead at centre stage. “I was very much inspired by my favourite TV program, “The Walking Dead,” said Escamilla. “When I was watching the show, I kept thinking about how I could take the characters and turn them into life-size creations for the holiday.” ARIA’s main showpiece is a 200-pound, six-foot-tall male zombie made out of chocolate and rolling fondant.
