WHAT IT IS

The 3Doodler Chef is a game-changing 3D printing pen that lets budding culinary pros and home bakers draw eye-catching edible designs with the push of a button. Just pop in a colorful candy capsule, heat it up, and start creating. You don’t need prior experience, and there is barely any mess to clean up after.

WHY WE LOVE IT

It’s all about creativity on demand. The 3Doodler Chef takes the guesswork out of edible art, thanks to quick heating tech and intuitive controls. Culinary creators can decorate cupcakes, cookies, and showstopping desserts in seconds without waiting around or fumbling with complicated tools. Plus, it’s lightweight and easy to handle, so you users can focus on the fun. We also like that it comes with two candy cartridges for quick “hot swapping,” so you never lose your creative groove. The candy capsules come in five colors.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

This set is for users ages 14 and up, but tweens can participate with the supervision of an older friend, sibling, or grown-up. Additional candy capsules are available and sold separately. The candy is made using a sugar substitute called isomalt.
