Cricut in da House!!

Posted by heavenleecakes on January 22, 2010 at 10:52 AM

Well, even though I am in the middle of major close down/renovations I am a die hard caker.  I saw the Cricut Expression on a TV informercial and fell in love with it, lusted after it and desired it with all my heart...knowing that I  could somehow make it work for my bakery even if I just did stencils like they did on the informercial.

 

Cricut caking has been a quiet movement that has been creating a buzz all over the cake world and I am so happy to have found that I'm not as crazy as I thought I was when I found out other cakers were thinking the same thing and there was someone out there that actually took the time to put the techniques onto some DVD's that of course I have purchased, but has made PROVO CRAFT take notice and come out with a Cricut Cake Machine!  An electronic cutter fully food safe! 

 

I've not had the pleasure to have completely decorated a cake with my Cricut, but I have done a few tentative things.

 

I have even signed up for some SCRAPBOOKING classes over in Pinecrest to become more and more familiar with all the features of the Cricut, I mean...it doesn't make any sense to have a "RELATIONSHIP" with something or someone without knowing more about them and how to "PUSH ALL OF THEIR BUTTONS!" lol

 

Here are some pics of cakes that I have embelished with my Cricut Cut out letters.

 

These cakes were made for CAKES ACROSS AMERICA.  A company that finds you a baker to bake, decorate and deliver a cake for you when you can't be there to do it yourself.

 

 

 

Here are the actual letters on the cake

 

 

I'm very excited to expand my skills with this new tool.  My next class is January 28 and I'm about to learn how to use the Software that manipulates scanned images into "cut" files to use with the Cricut!

Did you use icing sheets in the Cricut? If not can you?
Thanks Pauline
