Has anyone tried this system yet? I'm thinking of asking for it for my X-mas/b-day present from DH, but I'd love to hear from an actual user before I invest that much into it!
Yes, I've been to the web site and seen the demo, the edible wedding dress, etc. that's why I'm so fascinated!
However, the system is $210 US and I'd hate to spend that much $$ then find out it's not all it's cracked up to be! I'm hoping with all the wonderful people here, that somebody has actually tried it and can tell me if it is as utterly amazing as it looks!
I've never used it but saw it on Food Network. Thought is looked SO cool!! In the demonstration--it seemed pretty easy--of course, doesn't it always! lol!! I checked out the site, too, can you say EXPENSIVE!?! I could not justify the cost.
Sorry I can't be of much help.

i plan on trying it. I saw it demo'd at ices and at a local cake club meeting. I have to say at this point I am not going to buy the whole system but just the mix. They say you can use the product from a piping bag as well.
I don't have the sugar vail system, but do have a air pen. The problem with this is that the motor that came with it wasn't strong enough to do what i wanted, so just recently (after viewing the sugarvail) i went to the pet store and bought the largest motor i could find (it a motor to push air into the fish tank) cost was around $40 and it does the trick, i can now pipe with buttercream through the thing. Now to just find the time to play with it.
um... what website are we all talking about? And (color me ignorant, but).... sugarveil?
I saw it done at a wedding expo that cost an arm and leg to get in but it was awesome I am trying to talk my hubby into redoing our vows so I can wear it I never had a real wedding it was just a JP wedding Kevin my hubby was actually on call (for MPI) that day and I was on break between collage classes lol It was a spure of the moment moment
lol
If I were more advanced as a decorator I would buy it ..

I just can't see how it would be very comfortable to wear. Can you sit in it? Won't it break off?

They're not selling the dress for actual brides... it was just a gimmick for a couple of trade shows so people could see the potential of this stuff!
Well...we did get to play with the sugar veil pen at the Atlantic City National Bread and Pastry Championship. They had their wedding cake on display and a table set up to sell and try out the sugarveil system. So play we did... While it was cool to play with...(pastrypuff wanted one of course) I just don't know if the money they get for the system and the sugar (you will have to keep buying from them) makes it worth your while. It kinda feels rubbery and pliable until it dries. I think it scored a little lower in the detail work you can do with Royal icing as far as look...but it does not break as easily. The heat from the "Brides" keep it pliable. I would try it first before spending the money.
Oh by the way the cake was suspended by fishing wire and had crashed to the ground by day2. I have a larger pic of the cake if you want to see a closeup Mel. Just let me know

Thank you!!! I was beginning to think nobody had used this thing! How did the quality of the unit seem? Was it really any different than an airpen?
I wish I had a chance to try one out, but I don't think there's anything around here where that would be possible!

Well....Your Birthday is comming up soon... and they do have a 30 day return policy... and free shipping right now (although i don't know if that includes Canada)

I have never used an airpen so I can't compare.... the unit is small and mostly plastic.
Just wish you could try one first.
Well, I did it... I just ordered the Sugarveil system!!! My b-day pressie from the in-laws & my DH, so I hope it's worth it!
I'll keep you all posted once I get it a try it out!!
