Valentine’s Day Chocolate Faces by Fabcafe

Eat! Print! Love! The Tokyo-based Fabcafe Company offers the women to indulge themselves and make their own face in chocolate.

This kind of a surprise can seem either attractive or repulsive. However, the tickets for the upcoming two-day workshop are already sold out, and the organizers are planning to arrange similar events in the future.

According to St. Valentine’s Day in Japan and the tradition, which has existed since 1958, women give chocolate to their beloved men. This is a special type of chocolate, which is called hon-mei. Before the offer was made by the Japanese company, all the chocolates had been handmade, but new technologies allowed women to simplify their work, giving them an opportunity to present something original.

For the price of $66 (6,000 yen), the Japanese Fabcafe company, which is a high-tech Internet cafe at the same time, suggests making a plastic model of a woman’s face, which would be a model that can embody the beauty of the female face in the form of a chocolate, printed by the ProJet ™ HD printer.

In their turn, men usually present marshmallows to their women on the “White Day”, which is celebrated a month later, that is, on March 14. Fabcafe cannot miss this opportunity. The company is already developing the idea of printing on marshmallows.

This technology is the result of intense competition in the market of chocolate gifts for St. Valentine’s Day, with the attention focused on the fact that these products are the result of manual work.
