Cricut Cake — Cutting Fondant and Gum Paste Basics for Cake Decorating
December 13, 2011 by
I’m going to be honest with you right now and tell you that if there is an easy way, or a short cut, or a lazy way to do something, I will find it. Just ask Paul about my housekeeping “abilities”.
Sweep? Isn’t that what a vacuum is for? Dishes? Dishwasher! Bleach? I don’t want to wreck my clothes!
When we first bought the Cricut Cake, I thought, “Awesome! No more hard work!” Boy, was I ever wrong.
Paul and I have filmed a tutorial on how to use a Cricut Cake, but before you go off an watch it, I have a little bit of stuff to tell you . . . let the honesty continue!
Background Information:
The Cricut Cake™ Personal Electronic Cutter is specifically designed for decorating cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and confections in no time at all. Just choose a shape, a size, and press “cut”. Decorating like a professional has never been faster or easier. (source) The idea of the Cricut Cake is brilliant. How awesome would it be to have a machine that would cut out whatever shape you wanted, in a matter of seconds? Cake decorators everywhere would be lining up to buy them by the truckload!
The Cricut Cake is different from the Cricut that scrapbookers use with paper, as all of the parts of the machine that come in contact with food are made from food safe plastic or stainless steel. Cricut also added silicone covers to protect the machine and to make clean up easier. Also, according to the Cricut website, the machine was specially designed for cutting food materials.
