#2http://pwdr.github.io/ <- this nice and cheap DIY 3d printer can print on powder sugar, gypsum and other powders.

#3I'd love to see more innovative ways of having the sugar interact with the glass. The included example in the middle of the set was really cool and shows you how unique this could be for a coffee shop or restaurant.

#4What's really interesting is that their printer can, apparently, do full-color prints like these:

#5Is there any advantage in printing food? Apart from making the meal better looking and more expensive, I don't see any.

Not sure if they print the whole thing with colors or if the printed piece is colored later on.

At least in the non-food printers, it's printed in color. They use dyes mixed into the binder and print it out exactly like an inkjet printer does.

#10I found many of these creations to be remarkably similar to diatoms:

Also the concept of coloured sugar reminded me of the coloured sugar cubes my grandmother put out for tea with guests. These were proper bought ones and commonly available many decades ago but I have not seen them since.
Generally if someone has a taste for sugar (in tea) they really have no taste. So sugar sculptures as edible food items are going to be 'playing with food' to a certain extent, not that 'yummy' to most people. Maybe sculptures such as 'diatoms' is where this technology can excel rather than 'food'.
