The invention provides a method of forming an edible item. The method includes the step of forming dough into a substantially planar ribbon having a first height. The dough is at least partially elastic. The method also includes the step of permanently displacing a portion of the at least partially elastic ribbon to a second height greater than the first height with a cutting die.
