The 'Face Licker' service from [Firebox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavored-marmelade) is a new way for consumers to purchase confections that are personalized to their liking without having to do any of the work themselves.

The company will then craft [custom lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-x-fresquito) that are created to the exact likeness of the photo for you to give to a friend, loved one or perhaps to consume yourself.

The 'Face Licker' service from Firebox speaks to the increasingly popular nature of [food personalization services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-cookie-box) as consumers seek out ways to remix their favorite edibles.
