Biscuit with icing

A biscuit to play with or an ornament for the tree. Pick the shape from forty blanks in the library or from your own picture and draw the icing on it with the mouse or a finger.

Sizes and parts appear with the preview.

The calculation shows the exact price and print time, and you can download the model or a project for your printer. No sign-up.

It prints flat, face up, without supports; the top edge is rounded like on a real biscuit. It is a toy and an ornament, not food.

A biscuit with icing you decorate yourself

The tool makes a biscuit to play with or an ornament for the tree. Pick the shape from the library of silhouettes, a star, a tree, a ghost or a pumpkin for example, or upload your own picture. The biscuit is 40 to 150 mm wide and 4 to 10 mm thick, its top edge is rounded and the dough gets a brown filament from those we have in stock.

You draw the icing yourself: switch drawing on, choose the colour, the width of the stroke and the nib, and drag the mouse or a finger across the biscuit. A tap makes a dot. Every colour of icing lies one step higher than the one before, so any printer prints the biscuit by changing filament at the heights the downloadable project contains. A picture in colours decorates itself: its colours become the icing.

How it works

  1. Pick the shape. A silhouette from the library, your own picture or a short text. The background of a picture is removed automatically and an edge of dough, which you can set, stays round the motif.
  2. Draw the icing. Switch drawing on: the preview turns to the view from above and a stroke of the mouse is a stroke of the piping bag. The nib is round, flat, or makes a row of dots; a stroke is 1.5 to 4 mm wide.
  3. Adjust the colours and the thickness. Give every colour of icing another filament, remove the last stroke, or clear the icing and start again. A tick adds an eyelet for a ribbon.
  4. Order the print or download. Next to the preview you see the size; the calculation after "Continue" shows the exact price. The model, an STL for each colour and the project with the filament changes are free to download, without registration.

Common questions

Can the biscuit be eaten?

No. It is a plastic toy for a play kitchen or an ornament. We recommend PLA; for small children choose a bigger size without the eyelet and small parts.

How many colours of icing can I use?

Up to six colours of icing and 60 strokes on one biscuit. Our farm prints up to four colours in one print, that is the dough and up to three colours of icing. You confirm the spool for each colour when ordering; a biscuit with more colours can be downloaded for your own printer for free.

Can a stroke be undone?

Yes. A button removes the last stroke, the back and forward arrows undo any change, and one click clears the whole icing.

How fine can the drawing be?

The narrowest stroke is 1.5 mm, which a printer with a 0.4 mm nozzle prints cleanly. The icing keeps a little away from the rounded edge so that it does not hang over it.

Can I decorate a biscuit on a phone?

Yes, you can draw with a finger. A bigger screen is more comfortable, though.

How do I pay and how do I get the biscuit?

You pay from prepaid credit that you top up by card; prices are shown in Czech crowns or euros. We send the print through Packeta to a pick-up point or to an address in the EU.
