3D printing has opened the doors for many creative endeavors, one of the latest coming from Choc Edge, a company based in the United Kingdom. Armed with their Choc Creator, which made headlines back in 2012, Choc Edge now offers a unique service to their customers: chocolatey portraits. Simply send a picture in and they will replicate it in the sweet stuff in no time. Talk about a creative gift.
Choc Edge makes this possible through the use of very thin chocolate layers. By creating a mask in this way, layers are able to harden before another one is introduced so that the whole thing doesn't melt before people's eyes. Fun and quirky, this could be a great Valentine's Day gift.
