Here we are, into a new year and of course Covid-19 remains the overriding factor in our lives. Yet, for us players in the additive manufacturing (AM) game the pandemic has proven itself an interesting place to lurk.

I spend hours trawling Instagram for cookie decorating inspiration. And I’m in awe. I take my baking hat off to all you cookie decorators out there. You’re doing something I can only dream of. I know, you’ll sit there and say: ‘you can do this too’. And yes, with lots of tutorials, practice and time I daresay I could. Though, I’m missing the most important attribute needed – patience! I want my baking available NOW. And that’s why I make cookie cutters and scruffy biscuits rather than perfection in iced cookie form.
Back in July 2019, mooching about on Kickstarter as is my wont – I often look there for innovative ideas and inspiration – I came across a 3D Printer that printed with chocolate rather than filament. Yep that’s what I said! Chocolate in 3D printed format, from Mycusini. You’re with me I can tell. In a state of fevered excitement, I called the tech side of SED developments: ‘we have to get one of these!’
Welcome again to another lil old baking blog from the kitchen of SED Developments HQ. Did you spot the not-very-well-hidden pun? In all seriousness though, as the season for goodwill
