I'm tempted to say that "I've been printing chocolate in 3D for years, I call them skid marks", but I was brought up better than to say something so crass.

I guess you can consider it a printer but it also just seems like an industrial food technology.  Twinkies are "printed" aren't they?

they really didn't show it doing too much. Not like the other 3D printers, like the one that uses composite material to actually make items (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZboxMsSz5Aw) or the printer that makes metal items (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6Px6RSL9Ac)

"Could you demonstrate it using brown icing on a brown cake so that nobody can see a thing it's doing? Thanks!"
