Confectionary image design system including a graphical user interface
through which a user defines a pattern of confectionary pieces to be
arranged on a substrate. A computer processor controls the graphical user
interface through which the user defines the pattern, and provides
instructions for arranging the confectionary pieces in the defined
pattern. A container retains the confectionary pieces used to form the
defined pattern. A robot receives from the computer processor the
instructions for arranging the confectionary pieces, retrieves the
confectionary pieces stored in the container, and arranges the pieces on
the substrate in the pattern defined by the user.
