# Printed Sucrose Statues The Sugar Lab Creates Mouth-Watering 3D Sugar Sculptures By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-05-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-sculptures References: [bitrebels](http://www.bitrebels.com/technology/sugar-labs-3d-printed-sugar/) Using [3D printing technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1), The Sugar Lab creates deliciously sweet sugar sculptures that are far more intricate and alluring than the average sugar cube. Masterpieces of design and imagination, these sculptures feature [complex patterns and constructions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texture-ware) that would be incredibly difficult to carve out or create by hand, regardless of the material being used. Printed to order, these delicate art pieces can actually be eaten or put on display within glass cases. These can be created into giant custom creations that would work well for weddings or other celebratory events that call for intricate sugary confections. If I had any say in the matter, I would devise an entire gallery full of sugar sculptures by The Sugar Lab and slowly eat my way through it while admiring the beautiful designs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **3D Printing Technology:** Using 3D printing technology, The Sugar Lab creates intricate and alluring 3D sugar sculptures. - **Intricate Food Sculptures:** The Sugar Lab's 3D sugar sculptures feature complex patterns and constructions that are difficult to create by hand. - **Custom Creations for Events:** The Sugar Lab's 3D sugar sculptures can be created into giant custom creations for weddings or celebratory events. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** The Sugar Lab's 3D sugar sculptures showcase the innovative possibilities of combining art, design, and technology. - **Food and Beverage:** The Sugar Lab's 3D sugar sculptures offer a new way to create intricate and customizable confections. - **Event Planning:** The Sugar Lab's 3D sugar sculptures provide a unique and eye-catching element for weddings and celebratory events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Architectural Sugar Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-story-of-salt-and-sugar.md) - [Edible Sugar Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefdoodler.md) - [3D-Printed Valentine's Day Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-bonbons.md) - [Spiced 3D-Printed Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-latte-chocolates.md) - [3D-Printed Matcha Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godzilla-matcha-monsters.md) - [Pastry Chef 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-3d-printer.md) - [3D-Printed Meditation-Supporting Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meditation-tablet.md) - [3D-Printed Cocoa Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocoa-drop.md) - [Spicy 3D-Printed Bouillons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimchi-bouillons.md)
