All final designs get a spritz of "magic glitter dust" (it's just a mixture of sugar, citric acid, and mica-based pearlescent pigments) before they are neatly packaged into a box. Full disclosure: I momentarily forgot that the treat before me was edible — it looked so pristine.
After gingerly peeling the gummy off its board, I popped it in my mouth and found that the texture was surprisingly chewy and sticky. I tried the tasty tropical blue and it left a sugary licorice flavor on my taste buds. The luscious lemon tasted exactly like lemon drops, and the strawberry, well, I am going to save that in its mint condition.
For those who are itching to see the 3D printer in action and order their own designs, the printer is rolling out to all Dylan's Candy stores this month, and each design is only $20. Customers can also go online to request their orders. However, nothing beats witnessing the magic happen in person.
