Chocolate covered Mac Classic

by Laurie A. Duncan Nov 11th 2006 at 9:00AM



You've heard of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - well here's Freddie and the Chocolate Factory. Freddie is a food stylist and photographer who used to be a chef and he has a passion for all things chocolate. And I mean literally all things. He has a knack for freezing ordinary objects and coating them in a hard candy shell using an airbrush technique often used for coating cakes. The result is a velvety chocolate finish that makes even the most unappetizing object look good enough to eat. One such object is this Mac Classic, circa 1990. Mmmm.... a tasty treat, indeed.

I still have an original Mac Classic. It was the very first Mac I owned. It still boots and I take it out of the closet every now and then and start it up to remind myself how far we've come. Oddly enough, Photoshop 1.07 takes about as long to load now as it did then. Ah... nostalgia.

The amount of time that goes into this is very little.

The whole concept is very easy. Freeze the object.. or atleast cool it down on the outside.

Mix 1 part chocolate and 1 part coco butter. Melt them together and let them cool down to body temperature. Put them in a paint sprayer. Not an airbrush but a paint sprayer used for painting walls of your house. Made by black and decker or stanley or any other brand you can buy at home depot.

Spray the object.. the chocolate will be aerosolized and as soon as it touches the cold object it will solidify. Because the drops solidify one by one the object will take on a velvet like appearance.

Dude, sarcasm. Photoshop 1.07, installed on the Mac classic, doesn't load any faster on the Mac Classic. Yes, indeed, why would it? Sarcasm, dude.

Now if it were a brownie Zune, that'd be different ;)

Of course, the first gadget that comes to mind when I see this is the brown Zune. :)

Err, I assume she meant that Photoshop 1.07 takes as long to load as the current version does now (on a modern machine).

Why would photoshop 1.07 take any more time to load now than it did when the machine was new?
