Cricut Expression vs Cricut Cake!

As you recall from my earlier post, this image was cut out at 2" not the recommended 3" and is a more detailed cut as you can see.  This was cut using the Elegant Cakes Cricut cartridge.  

For your viewing pleasure, I have attached a video of this cut on the Cricut Expression and the Cricut Cake.



We used the Cricut frosting sheets to cut out the edible image.  I hope you enjoyed the video.

Picture...This!

We have been enjoying the Picturesque cricut cartridge. I figured rather than playing with play dough why not gum paste!? He mixed the colors and did an excellent job. It can be a bit difficult to get it going but, the reward is some really cute edible images.

I hope you enjoy the video. I will be posting more pictures so, check back periodically. You can also subscribe by becoming a follower and view the posts in a viewer. Be sure to grab my button on the upper right side of my blog to add to your blog.

Have a great day!

First Cut!

This is my first cut. I used the Elegant Cakes cartridge. Edible images are more fun! What do you think?

I have a video that I will post in the next day.  I just have to get it uploaded.  Unfortunately, this cookie had a small encounter.  I had it in a plastic bag to protect it and show my husband.  As you can see it has a small little indentation on the upper right.  It was not the cricut that did that but, my husband.  He threw my brayer on top of the cookie not knowing it was in my bag! lol Oops he felt bad as he should! ha ha

I was thinking of making a cake for my beautiful baby girl's first birthday.  I just cannot decide what I want to cut! 

By the way, this image was cut out at 2" not the recommended 3" and is a more detailed cut as you can see.  I am thinking that edible art might be more fun than paper! You can eat your mistakes!

M I C K E Y....Why?

Why?  Because it LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!

HobbyHo made an incredible cake using the cricut Disney cartridge!  I made some cricut cookies a while back and you can see them by clicking here! 

Be sure to stop by and share the love with HobbyHo Here!

I am going to be playing some more and hopefully I can share some more of the things that I made.  This definately is inspiring and shows what can be done with some time and imagination.  Now, if my kids would cooperate so, I could test out some ideas.
