What you're describing is a baker's masterwork, the kind of thing a
journeyman does to be elevated to master. Flat pieces are shaped and carved
with a knife. Three dimensional pieces are formed from dough and baked as a
standing loaf (say a shock of wheat) or are baked as components and
assembled (say a gingerbread house). At least one masterwork (after period)
I have seen described was an entire village of houses and people.
