The construction and details of the edible Google+ page is shown through the following photos.

First, layers of Cadbury Dream and Dairy Milk chocolate were applied to a base of Dairy Milk bars:






Edible inks were printed onto sugar paper to create detailed replicas of the Page’s buttons and photos of fans.





Pieces were adhered using liquid Dairy Milk as a kind of glue. Text was applied by hand with edible ink.







The company invited followers to chime in and watch live as the finishing touches were applied through a Google+ Hangout.






It lasted a week in their office but the +Google UK team finally gave in and devoured the finished page (shown shrinkwrapped below).
