Make your own Chocolate iPhone

For some reason people have a fascination of replicating everyday icons in the form of chocolate. Whether it be cars, animals, clothes or even a Mayan Temple, I have seen a number of highly impressive creations over the last 12 months or so.

Given the immense popularity of the iPhone since it was launched on 29th June in 2007 I suppose it was only a matter of time until someone tried to make a chocolate version of the must have accessory.

So here courtesy of Mashable is some guidance on how to make your very own chocolate iPhone.

Chocolate Monkeys on display in Paris

An incredibly detailed forest scene made with over five tonnes of couverture chocolate is currently on display in a Parisian chocolate shop.

The lifesize food art, which is meticulous in its every detail, features a five-metre tall tree, complete with sprawling roots and monkeys.

Made by Chocolatier Patrick Roger, the highly impressive and delicate creation has no structural support. According to Roger the size of the pieces and the overall fragility of the chocolate used made it an almost impossible task to acheive.

'It's very risky, because when you carry a piece -- for example yesterday we carried a monkey and it crumbled and then it was completely pulverized' advised Roger.

As impressive as this is, it is not the first chocolate masterpiece Roger has made. In 2009, the man who has been combining a love of chocolate and art for more than 30 years made a reproduction of the Berlin Wall to commemorate the 20th anniversary of its knocking down.

Overall it took over 900 kilos of chocolate to create the artwork and stood 15 metres tall.
