Questions
Is the whole thing edible?
Yes. The piece, the plinth and the lettering are all the same chocolate, with nothing inside it and no support material left on it. The hand-painted finish uses colored cocoa butter, which is also food.
How long does it keep?
Like any chocolate: somewhere cool and dry, out of the sun, and it will be at its best for months. It is solid all the way through, so there is nothing inside it with a shorter life than the chocolate itself.
Which chocolate should I choose?
Dark holds the finest detail and the sharpest edges, so it is the one to pick for lettering and small features. Milk is what most people mean by chocolate. White is the most flattering under a light and the least forgiving of a fingerprint.
What can the lettering say?
Up to a hundred characters, cut into the side of the plinth. A name, a date, a team, a joke. The pipeline scales the letters down to make them fit and warns us when it has had to, which is the point past which it stops being legible.
Longer answers: what makes a picture print well, and sizes, and how to keep a print looking new.
