If you are looking for something a bit different for your store, then a toolset made from chocolate could be the gift that will fly off your shelves this year.
The delicious designs are made by UK company The Chocolate Workshop, and co-owner and managing director, Ed Starr, says he loves the reaction from customers when they realise the tools are made from chocolate.
“We love the reaction our chocolate gets when people see it for the first time,” he says. “It constantly spurs us on to keep adding new amazing creations to our range, so we can keep on surprising people every time they see us.”
Starr and Toms thought of the innovative concept back in 2014, when Starr was working in food marketing and Toms in food production.
“We have been friends for 20 years and wanted to make a chocolate corkscrew. We tried to find a chocolatier in Italy and we eventually found one, and they now do the production for us exclusively. It is great to see how we both have grown together in such a short time.”
The products are incredibly detailed, ultra-realistic objects handmade from fine Venezuelan chocolate. So realistic are the designs, they do not look at all like chocolate and are often mistaken for the real thing. The chocolate nuts and bolts actually screw together, as do the coffee pot and light bulb. From lipstick to cheese, cameras to spanners, The Chocolate Workshop has a unique and eclectic range of over 100 individual oddities, each made from good quality chocolate.
