"Who doesn't like a customized breakfast?" HiConsumption.com asks. With the PancakeBot 3D Food Printer ($300), you no longer have to be a genius with scrambled eggs to make a special someone feel loved. Create a drawing on your computer — using a photo as a tracing guide if you wish — and the food printer will turn the image into a pancake unlike any other. The device, created by a Norwegian robot engineer, uses batter to draw the image on the heated grill. Almost any drawing can become a pancake, but the color palette is pretty much limited to brown, light brown, and tan.
