I’d Love to Devour the Chocolate Onyxia!

You know that one creator on TikTok who crafts the most intricate and lifelike chocolate masterpieces? The kind that are so detailed they almost seem unreal? Well, he’s been diving into the world of video games lately, whipping up a chocolate Mario, a Pikachu, and an astonishing replica of Onyxia’s head from World of Warcraft, all made from chocolate.

It’s-a me, Chocolate Mario! ????

I’ve been following chocolatier Amaury Guichon for a while now; his videos pop up on my feed and they’re hard to resist. This guy has been producing jaw-dropping chocolate art for years, with such fine details that his creations often look like anything but chocolate. His talent has earned him quite a bit of recognition, including a reality series on Netflix and even a project commissioned by a major celebrity.

But I was surprised to see him venture into video game territory recently. Last year, he crafted that chocolate Mario, complete with a chocolate Warp Pipe and a chocolate Piranha Plant. Not long after, he created a chocolate Pikachu perched on a PokéBall:

Chocolate Pikachu! Gotta eat ‘em all! ???? which Pokémon should I do next?

Then, just this past March, Guichon took it up a notch with a massive wall-mounted head of Onyxia, a notorious boss from the original World of Warcraft. He even made it breathe smoke! And those eyes!

From the gates of Stormwind to… Chocolate? ???????? @World of Warcraft challenged me to bring Onyxia’s Head to life for today’s launch of World of Warcraft: Midnight. How are you decorating your new home?!

According to his video description, this was a collaboration with Blizzard to promote the new expansion, Midnight, which launched simultaneously. While Onyxia isn’t part of Midnight, there is a new housing feature. If you’ve ever defeated Onyxia, you can mount her head as a trophy in your home, making this a clever nod to player housing. It also fits Guichon’s style, as he’s created numerous chocolate dragons, some of which can be displayed on walls or breathe smoke like Onyxia.

Watching these videos led me to a question I’ve had since I first discovered his work: what happens to all his chocolate sculptures once he’s done? Are they just thrown away? It turns out, no. Guichon mentioned that they don’t waste chocolate—any leftover can be melted down and reused for new creations. If stored properly, sculptures can last for years as decorative items. So who knows, maybe that Onyxia head is just chilling on a wall somewhere in a chocolate school, waiting for someone to take a big, ironic bite out of it.
