Ichemrahen has created a cake that will only be sold in digital form.

This NFT will also give its buyers access, in a second phase, to an unprecedented and exclusive physical experience, the retailer noted.

Ichemrahen stated, “Eternally passionate about works of art, textures and taste and wishing to democratise my culinary art, I decided to offer at Monoprix an NFT cake in three vanilla textures with different roasts. The art lies in the way of conceiving a unique work between design, simplicity, tradition and modernity.”
