It's a general practice to write on birthday cakes using coloured cream. Well, just imagine the same writing done on your breakfast toast by a computer!
Geeks at Evil Mad Scientist have tested a toaster that can print almost anything on bread. Literally anything! That means you could leave personalised messages for your family, create unique pieces of environmentally friendly biodegradable art to sell for ridiculous profit on eBay or even use your sliced bread loaf as organic Post-its!
Special Printing - priya_coolpersonThe CNC toaster is connected to a computer where the X and Y coordinates are fed. Rather your typical inkjet setup, the CNC print head is a hot air gun which blows hot air according to the darkness desired on the toast (depends on the print). Testers were able to print "Hello World" successfully and a rather dodgy toasted facial rendering of Ze Frank; shading proved somewhat difficult. They even tried printing on Indian Papadums and were reasonably successful.
This device may not have any commercial success but for people who thrive on inventing new things, it brings in great satisfaction and joy of creating something new. Looking forward to some writing on pizzas and pancakes as a next step.
