Wedding-cake sized/shaped, perhaps. Mmmmm!

They definitely have lots of chocolate to work with, in Belgium.

How would you slice it? I suppose you'd need
something along the lines of a hot wire foam cutter. |
|
|
Although, you could assemble the "cake" from a series
of pre-sliced chunks of chocolate, then perhaps
employ some technique to melt the outer layer just
enough to hide the "cuts". |
|
|
//Based on the concept of "a cake of soap"// - so you moisten it and rub it on? |
|
|
That would be the "Great Coral Reefer" kicking in ? |
|
|
In Belgium, it is unfortunately possible to purchase ruinously expensive housebrick-sized blocks of chocolate. |
|
|
// How would you slice it? // |
|
|
You don't. Use a hammer, or nibble the corners. |

We consider this Baked and Widely Known To Exist. |

[pocmloc], a cake of soap is a solid block of soap. Blocks of chocolate of about that same size have been available for a long time. And every Christmas season the Hershey company sells a "chocolate bar" that weighs 5 pounds (about 2&1/4 kilograms). It even has the **proportions** of an ordinary chocolate bar, and thus is rather thin when compared to its length/width. NOT shaped like the typical starchy dessert called "cake". |
|
|
So, this cake of chocolate would be shaped like the dessert, and thus fulfill the meaning of "cake" twice over. As for cutting it, a hot knife should work fine. Do they make electric knives that look like ordinary kitchen knives and incorporate resistance-heating? Instead of slice-motions? A quick googling shows hot cutting-wires, as mentioned above by [ytk]. Time to post another Idea, maybe.... |

Wow... [Vernon], I'm stunned... |

I consider the Borg Smarmy, Condescending, and Pedantic. |

I once visited the Belgian chocolate factory that
supplies chocolate to Leonidas and Neumann. It is
supplied to those chocolatiers in - wait for it - 1
metric tonne blocks. These would appear to be
exactly what you are thinking of, only much bigger.
Believe me, if you like chocolate, a 1 tonne block has
you drooling... |
|
|
but chocolate isn't baked... |
|
|
A chocolate purveyor in the darkest corner of East London (ok, Spitalfields) sells rather marvellous 1kg (2.2 something lbs) bars of chocolate in various regular and more subversive flavours. |
|
|
A move toward brevity must be rewarded. [+] |

I think it's a fluke. But I'm not complaining. |
|
|
.00021 VU, by my reckoning. Gotta be a record. |
|
|
I came out of retirement to ask if you are feeling
well? This was a very, very short explanation. I'm
actually almost disappointed in how brief this is. |
|
|
ahh- chocolate on a rope, so one can hang it around their neck and nibble at will! (mandatory bib wearing here) |
|
|
This would be a seriously heavy cake if solid, however, it might be possible to make it out of aerated or flaked chocolate, not unlike an Aero or Flake bar... |
|
|
That can be more conveniently expressed as 210µVU. |
|
|
If you prefer non-metric units, it's about 0.0033 SBU
(Standard Beanangel Units), or 3.3milliBeans. |
|
|
The former is far more appropriate, as this idea is rational, practical, and comprehensible. |
