Butterly beautiful!

Butter is bad for your health, but who would have thought of using it to create magnificent sculptures. One of the world’s fanciest chefs Vipula Athukorale has designed a Rolls-Royce and scenes from Pinocchio and Pied Piper.

The detail in his work is so fine that he cannot even breathe on the butter before cutting figures.Mr Athukorale said the secret was using the right type of butter.

He uses pastry margarine, rather than butter, which tends to melt at higher temperatures. Mr Athukorale, 46, won two golds and a silver at the international Salon Culinaire Awards in London, Daily Mail reports.
