Jean Philippe Patisserie

Santa Claus has arrived in Las Vegas, and you’ll find him sitting in his favorite chair during the holidays at Jean Philippe Patisserie. Standing five feet tall, the chocolate confection is made from 230 pounds of dark chocolate and 50 pounds of fondant and is clad in a glistening suit with sugar trim. Seated alongside Santa are edible presents with fondant bows and ornamental trappings, hand-detailed using cacao butter and gold powder. It’s a feast for the eyes and taste buds.
