Here are 5 tips to successful cake decorating with your Cake Cricut Machine:
1. Using the right amount of shorting will prevent the frosting sheet from slipping or bunching up when being cut. Use a pastry brush and apply a thin transparent sheet on the cutting mat. If the shorting gets to warm just put the mat in the freezer for a couple of minutes. Make sure you apply shorting to the back of the frosting sheet as well as the mat, smoothing out all air bubbles.
2. Since you can not re-roll frosting sheets you will want to make every inch count. As long as the left over sheet is larger than 3" x 3" it is safe to reuse.
3. Always keep your cut shapes in a sealed bag until you are ready to use them to prevent them from drying out.
4. Never use flour when working with gum paste. Using cornstarch and powdered sugar will help your designs slide and stick.
5. For best results use gel based food coloring instead of the liquid food coloring drops when making edible cake decorations.
Use your imagination the sky's the limit. Don't be afraid to experiment. Start out with impressing family and friends with your hand crafted confections, who knows it my turn into a profitably hobby, paying for your Cricut Cake in no time. Happy eating, Bon appetit
