Here is the latest creation from Mr. Gutman: What appears to be Mephistopheles, a demon featured in German folklore and originally appearing in literature as the demon in the Faust legend.

This is the original sculpture.

And this is the casting from it in stone—really a casting mix called “drystone,” the benefit of which is that it retains its white color, whereas other mixes come out greyish.

Next on the agenda is casting in chocolate for guests.

Mr. Kobi Gutman is one of the most accomplished hotel butlers in the world, currently working as the head butler at a private hotel in Florida; he can be reached via the Institute.

The Institute is dedicated to raising service standards by broadly disseminating the mindset and superior service expertise of that time-honored, quintessential service provider, the British Butler, updated with modern people skills, and adapted to the needs of modern employers and guests in staffed homes, luxury hotels, resorts, spas, retirement communities, jets, yachts & cruise ships around the world.
