Sugar + Geeks + DIY = CandyFab 4000
Ever played with sugarcube dice? They're easy to make, just use a marker to add the correct number of dots to the 6 sides of a suger cube and you've got yourself some tasty make-shift dice for those spontaneous office crap games, or lightning Monopoly rounds with your lab mates.
But what if you fancied a quick round of D&D? Your sugar cube dice won't let you roll for initiative, and your barbarian wouldn't be able to level up.
What do you do?
Well, if you happen to have a lot of sugar, a hot air gun and an old plotting machine lying about (and a few other components), you can create a fabricator that constructs 3-D images out of sugar. This couple did. And they plan to share this wonderful new technology with the world.
I've always wanted to eat a dodecahedron. Life is sweet.

You know I bet one of those Wicked lasers would be good enough to melt powdered icing sugar.

And with a laser you could do finer detail. Instead of making tennis-ball sized dice, you could make dice-sized dice. Or you could take a detailed scan of the blood vessels in your brain and recreate the structure with sugar.
