YOUR VALENTINE IMPOSSIBLE TO BUY FOR? GIFT THESE LIFE-LIKE CHOCOLATES: A HUMAN HEART OR EVEN A SET OF FINGERS FOR THE PROPOSAL!
Classically trained artist Sarah Hardy, launchedThe Edible Museum, her business after making wax-work figures for the museum sector.
The idea for the award-winning business grew from a request to make a white chocolate vertebrae forBarts Pathology Museumin London. Similar commissions followed for chocolate body parts from Harvard University and UCL, University College London.
Now consumers can purchase from this ghoulish range of hand-painted chocolates. What would your Valentine fancy? An internal organ or a fossil? How about the endangered natter-jack toad, a romantic gesture which will also donate to the Wildlife Trust. Or why not add a life-like chocolate finger to spice up your Valentine's proposal?
These chocolates are not for the faint-hearted but they have attracted the attention of leading universities, Hamleys, scores of archaeologists, naturalists and celebrities looking for show-stopping celebration gifts.
As one client stated:"Think carefully before giving this (heart) as a romantic gift. Some people may feel that theyshould be shocked by a realistic piece of human internals in chocolate. For the right recipient, however, this is a uniquely entertaining gift, and will be received with surprise and joy."
Sarah Hardy's extraordinary talent has inspired crowd-funders to hit her target and take her business from the kitchen table to a specialised studio which has the perfectly maintained temperature to sculpt the chocolate.
Said Hardy, "We successfully raised £10,630 of the £10,000 target with 116 supporters in 35 days! Thank you so much to all our funders.We have built a studio for The Edible Museum's sweet alchemy and supporters can come along to the website and see what we are up to."
Hardy is confident a gift from her Edible Museum shop will make this Valentine's Day one never to forget.
