Chocolate Birthday Computer

Food & Beverage

It’s our Make: Online pal Sean Ragan’s birthday today, and look what his mom made him: a chocolate retro birthday computer! When I inquired as to how it was made, Sean replied:

It’s cast in a couple of molds. Apparently the trick is “tempering” it correctly to avoid a dull chalk surface. She has a non-contact IR thermometer that she uses to get it just right.

What will the next generation of Make: look like? We’re inviting you to shape the future by investing in Make:. By becoming an investor, you help decide what’s next. The future of Make: is in your hands. Learn More.
