This is an approximate render. We will 3D print your figurine from your photo, so the finished chocolate will differ in its details.
Send a photo and we sculpt it into a figure like this one. Yours appears here, turnable, as soon as it is built.

Custom Chocolate Print
Upload one photo and it is sculpted into a standing figure on an engraved plinth, printed in tempered couverture and edible all the way through. One person, facing the camera, in reasonable light. A phone photo is fine. Everything else in this category is a model we already hold.

Questions
Is the whole thing edible?
Yes. The piece, the plinth and the lettering are all the same chocolate, with nothing inside it and no support material left on it. The hand-painted finish uses colored cocoa butter, which is also food.
How long does it keep?
Like any chocolate: somewhere cool and dry, out of the sun, and it will be at its best for months. It is solid all the way through, so there is nothing inside it with a shorter life than the chocolate itself.
Which chocolate should I choose?
Dark holds the finest detail and the sharpest edges, so it is the one to pick for lettering and small features. Milk is what most people mean by chocolate. White is the most flattering under a light and the least forgiving of a fingerprint.
What can the lettering say?
Up to a hundred characters, cut into the side of the plinth. A name, a date, a team, a joke. The pipeline scales the letters down to make them fit and warns us when it has had to, which is the point past which it stops being legible.
What makes a good photo?
One person, facing the camera, from the waist up or head to toe. Even light, nothing covering the face, and no strong shadow across it. A phone photo taken indoors is usually fine. Sunglasses, hats and other people in the frame are what most often spoil it.
How close is the likeness?
Close enough that the people who know you recognise you, which is the bar we hold ourselves to. It is a small figure rather than a portrait: the build, posture, hair and clothing carry most of the resemblance, and the face carries the rest at the size a plinth allows.
Longer answers: what makes a picture print well, and sizes, and how to keep a print looking new.
