@kriz6912 Cool video.

 

Are the nails chocolate too? They are startlingly realistic, if they are. Where did you come up with such a unique and striking idea, if you don't mind saying?

 

Thanks. Yes, the nails are chocolate too. I was going for authenticity :-) I used food jelly to make a mould from real nails. I liked the idea of people getting totally confused by the idea of using apparently real nails in pastry :-)

 

I've attached some close-up photos from chocolate nails and screws. And here's a video from my Instagram feed showing removing of the chocolate from the mould and brushing them with metallic colouring to get that real look:
