Looks like all it does is carve food you already have into a pretty shape!

Well, sort of. They start with a liquid and turn it into a fruit-like spheres. Here's an excerpt from the article.

"One method can be used for shaping liquids which have a high calcium content like milk, while the other is perfect for liquids like fruit juice or puree, which contain little to no calcium. . . . In this process, the liquid or puree from the fruit is mixed with a very small amount of a substance called sodium alginate, then quickly placed into a bowl of soluble calcium salt. At this point the liquid or puree forms tiny spheres, almost like caviar, in which a thin skin holds the shape of the liquid inside."
