Summary

I started with a stainless steel cake server (ger: Tortenheber) purchased from Amazon and enhanced it with a personal touch using a diode laser engraver. The design features a beautiful floral pattern downloaded from Pixabay, meticulously engraved onto the server. I carefully adjusted the vector graphic parameters to achieve a unique effect: each section of the design—such as leaves and flower stems—displays a distinct color. This result was achieved through the laser-induced heating of the steel, which caused varying discoloration depending on the intensity and duration of the engraving process. The final product is both functional and artistic, blending durability with intricate detailing.
