Ferrari F2008 Chocolate Replica
As Ferrari enthusiasts we love to show how much we actually respect the car. We buy the merchandise, we try to get our own and ‘trick’ it out as best as we can, and we may even buy the model replicas and place them around our house just to make sure that everyone who comes knows how much of a fascination we have. Yet, just how far will we go. Would we be willing to make a large scale replica made out of chocolate?
Club Pasticceri Italiani made the replica racing car for a Ferrari owners club in Naples, Italy. The confectioners began to melt the chocolate that they would need back in 2007 and built a smaller model to practice on. $23,000, 4,405 lbs of Belgian chocolate, and one year later they finally finished.
The Ferrari cake turned out to be lifelike, colorful, and more delicious looking than the real thing. Unfortunately the whole thing will be eaten this weekend as dozens of Ferrari owners will dig in and enjoy it.
