1. A rolling pin system comprising:
a rolling pin with a first end, a second end, and a rolling pin diameter;
a first radial expansion device coupled to the first end, the first radial expansion device having a first modifiable diameter, the first radial expansion device having a plurality of first arms, each first arm of the plurality of first arms including a first pivot component configured to pivot from a first state to a second state, each first arm including a first arc section and a second arc section, the first arc section having a first diameter of curvature, the second arc section having a second diameter of curvature different than the first diameter of curvature, the first arc sections of the plurality of first arms cooperating to form a first surface of rotation when the first pivot components of the plurality of first arms are in the first state, the second arc sections of the plurality of first arms cooperating to form a second surface of rotation when the first pivot components of the plurality of first arms are in the second state, the second diameter of curvature being greater than the rolling pin diameter, the first surface of rotation being a circular spiral of the first arc sections of the plurality of first arms; and
a second radial expansion device coupled to the second end, the second radial expansion device having a second modifiable diameter, the second radial expansion device having a plurality of second arms, each second arm of the plurality of second arms including a second pivot component configured to pivot from a third state to a fourth state, each second arm including a third arc section and a fourth arc section, the third arc section having the first diameter of curvature, the fourth arc section having the second diameter of curvature, the third arc sections of the plurality of second arms cooperating to form the first surface of rotation when the second pivot components of the plurality of second arms are in the third state, the fourth arc sections of the plurality of second arms cooperating to form the second surface of rotation when the second pivot components of the plurality of second arms are in the fourth state.
