We’ve heard of chocolate fingers and chocolate hearts but chocolate heads are a new one!
A Tokyo design firm apparently offered up their scanner to a group of people so that they could create edible replicas of their faces for Valentine’s Day.
The 3D scanner can be used to create silicon moulds (Image courtesy of BBC).
According to a BBC report KS Design Lab allowed people to use their 3D body scanner to make miniature silicon models of their faces.
These moulds were then filled with chocolate to create the sweet treats some of which were decorated and mounted on lollipop sticks.
This is one of the chocolate faces created (Image courtesy of BBC).
One woman who attended the workshop in Japan said: “I didn’t actually think it would turn out to look this much like me, so I’m a bit surprised.”
While the chocolate heads are intended as gifts for friends and family, we don’t think we’d be able to resist temptation. In fact we’d probably have our own heads finished before we even got home!
