Yes it had to happen didn’t it
Madam Tussaud are rolling out their latest and most unexpected figure yet, the iconic Greggs Sausage Roll, in celebration of the eagerly-anticipated National Sausage Roll Day on Thursday 5th June.
For a limited time only, the beloved British classic has secured a top spot in their Baker Street attraction’s Culture Capital Zone alongside the likes of Sir David Attenborough, Stormzy, and William Shakespeare.
The zone is a space dedicated to those who’ve helped shape the landscape of British culture; from trailblazing artists to political giants and now, the golden, flakey pastry icon of British cuisine has also reached star status, with nearly one in two Brits recognising the Greggs Sausage Roll as a bona fide British icon.
The one-of-a-kind replica Sausage Roll marks the first time an individual food item has ever been given the celebrity treatment.
The figure follows the exact same making-of process as the human figure creations, using the same traditional plaster moulding method as Madame Tussaud herself – from sample measurements, to clay moulds, to wax sculpts, to the hand painted details.
The team studied dozens of individual Greggs Sausage Rolls to ensure they captured its distinct crisp, flakey layers and unmistakable golden glaze. The final masterpiece is proudly displayed on a regal blue velvet cushion, elevated on a classic plinth and accompanied by a commemorative plaque – giving this humble pastry the full A-list experience it deserves.
