Bakers make a Messi

CONFECTIONERS in Moscow made a life-sized chocolate replica of Lionel Messi for his 31st birthday. Bakers at the Altufevo Confectionery took six days to make the 60kg sculpture of the Argentina star, which stood on a football field made out of cake. The cake (above) was handed out at a party in Bronnitsy, near Moscow, where Argentina’s squad are based.
