Stefan Magdalinski is well-known in British geek circles, having made a name for himself building websites like They Work For You, Up My Street and moo.com before moving to South Africa to work for mobile business directory Mocality.
Stef wanted to surprise his wife, who loves chocolate and Apple in almost equal measure. So he made the best possible gift: a chocolate-coated iPad.
Luckily he’s friends with London chocolate maker Paul A Young, and asked if the iPad could be “frozen in chocolate carbonite”. Turns out it could, as you can see in full detail here.
If I were Paul A Young, I’d be on the phone to Apple right now, to see if we could collaborate on a whole new form of edible packaging.
Also, huge kudos to whoever it was who brought the chocolate iPad through South African customs and managed to persuade them not to open it up for inspection.
