Here’s yet another sign that we are living in the future: 3D Systems has come out with a new line of 3D Printers that can literally print custom shapes using sugar as a medium. This means no more boring sugar cubes – you can now have sugar in complex polyhedra, concave anti-prisms, infinity loops, and other fun Archimedean solids.

2. What a great idea!

Custom made sugar shapes for all occasions! Little sugar rattles or storks for baby showers, sugar hearts for Valentine's day, and bunnies and colored egg sugars for Easter! The mind boggles at the possibilities!
