A blog about keeping it local – the shopping that is.
A bit like Heineken beer refreshing the parts that other beers couldn’t (Google it if you’re not old enough to remember it), our blog reaches all corners of the globe. Baking is universal. From American cookies to French patisserie to Italian cannoli and to the British Victoria sandwich cake – every nation loves a baked good.
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. As the virus tightens its grip again, as we plough on through winter, the story of 3D printing’s involvement continues. So, this blog is a look at five 3D contributions to Covid-19. So far!
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 to our Introduction to 3D Printing at home. We discover the history and current applications of 3D Printing, and it’s easy to do!
Cookie Collection to get you through the main events of this Summer.
8 Must-See Iced Biscuit Designers – By now, I trust, you’ve meandered through our website and seen the design element of our baking passion. You’ll have also seen that my own baking, is somewhat lacking. It’s fine – don’t worry about offending me, I understand my limitations. And that’s why I’m always on the lookout for exciting cookie and biscuit designers. So here I am with 8 must-see iced biscuit designers to feast your eyes on!
As we noted in our last blog ‘An Introduction to 3D printing and Inspiration for you’, 3D printing is here to stay. And all for the good we say. In that vein, we thought we’d take you outside the box and look at the innovation 3D printing is providing. Here are five innovations under development as I type. We’re not talking ‘let’s change the colour of ink printing’ – we’re talking life-changing/ life-saving innovations.
