when baking your continent, the crust should form naturally as this is part of the process. After baking your continent in a suitably large oven, take the continent and place on a massive cooling rack. The crust however is largely inedible.
The oceanic crust is subducted underneath the continental crust. This process is known as subduction.

what is the continental crust
continental crust
Continental crust is the thicker of the two: it extends far beneath and above the Oceanic crust.
The process by which the Earth's crust breaks apart is known as rifting. This can occur within both continental crust and oceanic crust, leading to the formation of rift valleys and eventually new ocean basins through the process of seafloor spreading.

earthquakes and the formation of mountains
Continental crust cannot form as a result of oceanic-oceanic convergence. This process typically results in the formation of volcanic island arcs or deep-sea trenches. Continental crust is formed through processes like continental collision and accretion of terranes.
This process is known as subduction and occurs at convergent plate boundaries because oceanic crust is denser than continental crust.

In technical terms, the oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust so when the continental crust and the oceanic crust meet the continental crust will sink under and the oceanic crust will slide over and a volcano will be formed as well as producing earthquakes in the process.
