Commuters got an unusual sight in London today in the sweet form of an Easter Playboy Bunny wearing an edible costume.

Modelled by 'Bunny Penny' in Marble Arch, the famous outfit was given a tasty makeover by food artist Michelle Wibowo using more than 5kg of chocolate and the first ever life-sized mould of a Playboy Bunny.

The creation, with the basque featuring a chocolate casino chip, solid dark chocolate ears and a fluffy tail made of white chocolate, was hand-crafted to promote the Playboy Club London casino.

Bunny Penny, the Playboy Club Bunny of the Year, said: “When they told me I'd be replacing casino chips with ones of the chocolate variety for the day I didn't quite know what to expect, but the whole experience has been great fun so far.

“All the Playboy Club Bunny costumes are made-to-measure but wearing the world's first chocolate Playboy Bunny costume has been a fairly unique experience!"

The Playboy Club London is launching an adult-only Easter hunt in Canary Wharf on April 13.

Look out for the Playboy Club bunnies if you’re in that area.
