I don't discriminate when it comes to pastries, cakes or pies. Honestly would not know if they used lard, butter or "I cant believe It's not Butter". I do know that some cupcake icing has a "Chemical-y" taste to them, I don't like those, but will probably still eat a few, out of respect, you know.

There's could be anything in there. There are a lot of things that are not butter, like, everything else. Eggs, wood, paint, Styrofoam, who knows what's in there

Could be cool. Just not sure how they would cut it so that it doesn't all fall apart.

If they cut it like my 2nd picture, that wouldn't be a problem. It's just a matter of programming the cutting pattern correctly.

Water jets are amazing. May dad worked at an assembly factory warehouse, and a water jet salesman made small Harley Davidson that looked almost exactly like the picture he used for the template. The pic in post #11 should not be a problem.

The squares the stars are on are an issue because they come together at a dead point, to give it any kind of strength you have to make the solid part bigger which makes it look funny and it totally throws off the checkerboard pattern.

And then white stripe that lines up with the white square is a big weakness.

Keychains take a pretty good beating (at least mine do)

Another thing is they usually charge machine time so if you have a bunch of intricate details you are going to pay more as the machine takes more time to cut them out.

I was just saying that it can be done. Cost is another issue of course.
Lose the flag and it gets a lot simpler in design.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Jalapeno pineapple pizza is the best pizza. Just those 2 things and mozzarella.

Cake sux. It's just flour and sugar. It's like nitrous oxide. A stupid, unengineered motor that is just going to blow up. Or cheap wine.

No class.

flour + sugar = sugar cookies. Cake has eggs, vanilla extract, and butter, along with sugar and flour. I am a Cake Expert )of sorts(
