When cake artist Maggie Austin first introduced the world to the beauty of bas belief in cake decorating, admirers of her work kept to the alabaster whites and paired down beauty of Maggie’s original designs. But now cake artists have spread their wings and built on Maggie’s foundations adding color, florals and frills to enhance the beauty of sculpted effect bas relief details even more.
