Oh PLEASE Tell me there will be kits.
I have been a long-standing fan of Evil Mad Scientist Labs Candyfab.
Of course, who WOULDN’T be a long-standing fan of a machine that prints fantastical sugar sculptures in three dimensions? And because the sugar acts as a build base and support material, this can print some really wild shapes. I’ve seen pipe-frame dodecahedrons, trefoil knots, even linked chains of sugar!
They’re not the sturdiest sculptures in the world, obviously, but 3D printing you can eat certainly takes care of the problem of recycling– you use it as people fuel!
If the EMS Labs CF6000 does get made into an inexpensive kit (it sure looks like it could get into the MakerBot range) I can imagine bakeries making use of Thingiverse to print sugary oddities, much to the delight of their nerdier clientelle.

Yes, there will be kits.
Won’t quite be as inexpensive as the Cupcake CNC. It’s a more complex machine, supporting a deep, heavy bed of material and a build volume ten times as large. Still, we’ll do what we can.
