Bread Printer

My latest invention is a simple novelty that lets you print words on bread while it is cooking in your home bread maker machine. It consists of two rails and a bunch of large medium and small letters. You slide the letters into the rails and hang the rails over the edge of the bread maker pan. You can only use one size letter at a time. If you use the large you can print a single word like: PEACE, LOVE, RYE, WHEAT, WALTER, TUESDAY. If you use the medium size letters you can print phrases such as: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EAT HEALTHY, I LOVE YOU, PRIZE WINNER, HOLIDAY SPECIAL. If you use the small letters you can print whole sentences on your bread such as: LET US BREAK BREAD TOGETHER. EAT UNTIL YOU ARE FULL. THIS BREAD IS MOLDY. MY DOG HAS FLEAS. SHUT THE WINDOW, I'M COLD, SHUT UP AND EAT YOUR VEGATABLES. The number of letters you can use at a time depends on your bread maker. The machines that make longer loaves of bread can put more letters on the side of the bread. The rails and letters are aluminum. When you read the bread the words are between the lines made by the rails. I'm not ready to sell this yet because I need to find someone who can manufacture it cheaply enough to make it affordable. I want the final price to be under $20.00 including all the letters. and I need to measure a lot of bread pans so I make sure I cut the rails to the right length. Or maybe just include long rails with break off points that the consumer can cut down to the size he wants.

hummmm.
Interesting. My mother-in-law has a little plastic thing like a cookie cutter that you can press into a slice of bread before you toast it. It says "Good Morning" and has sun rays on it. Once the bread is toasted, the message shows up on the slice.
Your invention sounds much more complicated.
