‘iPhones’ sell like hot cakes in Tokushima. And taste better.
iPhone fans, or for that matter anyone fancying an unusual snack, can now get a special treat — an edible version of the Apple device courtesy of Green Gables.
Kumiko Kudo, the 44-year-old owner of the café, has been replicating the iconic smartphone ever since a customer asked her to bake a one-off iPod Touch cookie for a birthday.
Mistaking the ‘device’ for the iPhone, the customer was nevertheless delighted and news spread of the cafe’s speciality via Twitter.
According to Asahi, Kudo was invited to meet Softbank President Masayoshi Son and handed him a cookie. Teleco Softbank distributes the iPhone in Japan and Son is one of Japan’s leading entrepreneurs.
Son had already commented on his Twitter feed how much he wanted an iPhone cookie, and replied “I’m so happy. I cannot possibly eat this.”
Only 20 iPhone cookies are produced per day. The cookies cost ¥2,730 ($33) each.
Kudo says she has attempted to bake an iPad cookie, but “it turned out to be too big, heavy and difficult to make.”
There were no USB ports in her version either.
