Geeks with heat guns

Candyfab, a three-D printer that makes large objects out of sugar--and it only cost $500 to make.

Makerfaire. If you happen to be in San Francisco on May 19-20 or Austin October 20-21, it's where people display that sort of thing.

Now that's Mad Science! And I think I should like one if it can be made food safe. It would be the coolest thing for a food geek evah! Well short of a chocolate printing system anyway.

People are working on that, but it hasn't quite happened yet.

I am seriously hoping they bring one to Florida; I'd think Orlando would be perfect for that sort of thing.
