Summary

I needed to make a quick cake topper to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday.  I wanted to make a curved text version and decided to record the process.  

I started the process in Inkscape and show you how I entered the text and converted it to curved text.
I then joined all of the text together into a single shape and saved it as an SVG file.
I imported the SVG into XCS, set it to the size I needed, and added the legs to the shape to go into the cake.
For the cutting process, I used the built-in black acrylic settings in XCS.
The cut process took approximately 75min on a 10watt M1.
