What is bas-relief cake?
Bas-relief is a sculpture in which the figure projects slightly from the background and it is a useful technique which works well on pastillage plaques so that the design can be created before a cake is made and can then be transferred onto the top of a cake as a cake topper.

To create that file (which you will send to your 3d printer or CNC tool) all you need to do is drag your image or photo into the main window:
How do I create my bas relief sculptures?
The clay sculpture is placed on a flat, level surface. I apply multiple coats of a special spray mold release that will not reduce the texture or detail.
