Personal Face Chocolate

For £50-£80 or about $80-$130, you can have a sculpture of your face made from dark, milk or white chocolate by Choc Edge, a British company that specializes in printing 2D/3D chocolates.

Chocolate, regardless of form, tends to melt in the hand and the mouth and pretty much any other warm place. 3D printers are generally incredibly warm, given that they often “print” hard materials by burning and melting them.

To create a shape the printer prints incredibly thin layers of chocolate, some as small as .05mm. These quickly harden and more chocolate can be lumped on, until it eventually creates whatever chocolate art you’re hoping to make.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
