Sugar Lab Makes "Sugar Things" Paying Homage To The Popular Netflix Series

The "world's first digital bakery" is taking playing with your food to another dimension. Sugar Lab is the bakery of the future, creating beautifully detailed desserts out of a 3D printer. Yea, you read that right. And we agree, 'why hasn't sugar in a 3D printer been thought of until now?' Anyways, besides the point, because now here it is.

Kyle von Hasseln and Liz von Hasseln are the names behind this bespoke idea that is now Sugar Lab. The pair were grad students in Downtown LA when they tested their curiosities, in 2011. To their surprise, it worked, and well, the rest is history.

And now, baking out all of the emotions that have been building up this season, Sugar Lab, has printed a new set of sugar confections inspired by Netflix's hit show, "Stranger Things".

“Sugar Things”

"After that last episode, the tech nerds and rogue chefs at Sugar Lab needed a way to relieve the stress so they decided to whip these up in their patented 3D food safe printer which creates beautiful, delicious, and eye-popping confections," writes the press release.Created is a set of "the most metal RPH dice you've ever seen." And the best part? Not only can you eat them but you can get multiple rolls, maybe even a game or two out of them before eating them as candy or dropping them in your drink for a fun effect and lime flavoring.

The six piece set with be $25 and can be pre-ordered online. It included D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20.

Their site writes, "After tones of R&D, the 3D printer they first imagined is finally available as a powerful new tool for the culinary arts."

When this all began, almost a decade ago, Kyle and Liz attempted their idea on their antique Z310 gypsum 3D printer that they initially used to print architectural models, you know, being that they were actually architects and all. When seeing how well it worked, they explained, "the crystalline sugar had a white-translucent glow that was really captivating and defied gravity in ways that didn't seem possible by conventional techniques."
