Bakery in Japan sells edible iPhone cookies

Attention, smartphone users: here comes a new generation of iPhone — now in a version that you can eat.

Except that this time the edible iPhone didn’t fall from the apple tree but from Green Gables Sweets & Cafe, a Japanese bakery in the town of Aizumi in Tokushima Prefecture. The mobile cookies, which are sized almost the same as the real iPhone, are made of chocolate base and decorated with cute icons in tasty colorful icing.

Kumiko Kudo, the owner of the bakery, says the idea came from a customer two years ago who asked her to make an iPod look-a-like biscuit for a birthday present. Kudo mistook the device for an iPhone which had just come out at the time, and the edible iPhone was born.

The news about the biscuits spread quickly via Twitter this year and since then orders have been pouring in. At an event at Softbank, Japanese telecommunications giant, Kudo handed one of the cookies to Masayoshi Son, the company president, who was delighted and said he couldn’t possibly eat it.

Green Gables bakery sells edible iPhone for 2730 Yen a piece, which is about $32 or 25 EUR.

This is adorable! But for $32 a cookie I can bake my own...

i completely agree with you. the design isn't that completed, all you need is fondant or icing =)

haha sounds awesome xD you'd have to be skilled to create all those minor details~ i like cookies and would be a perfect gift if someone asks for an iphone ... (maybe as a joke or something ??)
[info]shwinlewin 28th-Dec-2010 08:16 am (UTC)
Cute!!! And while the price IS ridiculous I am almost tempted to pay it just the one time to see whether it's worth the price or not.
[info]liime_arix 28th-Dec-2010 08:17 am (UTC)
That's so cute, but I'm not paying that amount to try it.

Oh and that thing is incredibly unrealistic, Softbank's shit reception never has that many bars.
