YOUR VALENTINE IMPOSSIBLE TO BUY FOR? GIFT THESE LIFE-LIKE CHOCOLATES: A HUMAN HEART OR EVEN A SET OF FINGERS FOR THE PROPOSAL!

A UK food artist, has wowed clients such as Mick Jagger with her ghoulish sculpted chocs such as dead birds and is in hot demand with PR and ad agencies requesting commissions

• 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 are you about to propose...add a life-like chocolate finger to spice up the 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.
