The impressive creation has been handcrafted by the team of chocolatiers at Cadbury World to mark the library's first anniversary.

The model stands at 80 inches tall and even the iconic library's rooftop gardens and Shakespeare room have been recreated as well as the building's eye-catching pattern of metal rings.

The library is one of the largest creations by the Bournville based attraction, with the whole team involved in its construction.

It is now on display in the foyer of the city centre library.

"Our team of chocolatiers were met with an enormous challenge, but also a great deal of fun, when creating their replica of this iconic building.

"We hope that this will go a long way towards making the Library of Birmingham's first birthday a momentous occasion and that visitors enjoy seeing one of our city's finest sites, re-rendered in chocolate."

Sara Rowell, partnerships and marketing senior manager at the Library of Birmingham, added: "It's been a fantastic first year for the Library, and we have now welcomed over three million visitors. We were thrilled by Cadbury World's offer to help celebrate our first birthday with this amazing model."
