Provocraft to Produce Cake Decorating Cricut with Cartridge!

Here it is!! The latest Provocraft product release! A machine designed to cut gum paste and fondant for cake making! What a great home business cake making would be with this easy to use machine. It is designed so that it can be taken apart and cleaned, thus meeting health code standards. And, to make things even easier, Cricut has designed a Cake Basics cartridge that comes with the machine.

What I love is the fact that you could also use your other cartridges to make cakes - so what about Hannah Montana, Elmo, all the Mickey, Cars and Princess' images on a cake!?? Wouldn't those be cute for kids' parties?? Or the wedding and bachelorette images on Tie the Knot, Sweethearts and the Wedding cartridges? Those would be spectacular for bridal events.

Here is a link to the Cake Basics handbook - click HERE! It is really amazing!

Retailing at $399, this would be a welcome addition to a current cake business or the beginning start to a new business!

Making Cakes with the Cricut

Did you know you can cut gum paste with the Cricut to make decorations? Look below to see some of the gorgeous cakes that have been made:






Linda, who owns Deseret Designs, has developed a DVD showing you exactly how to do this! You can find more info by clicking HERE!

Even more info from the cakecentral.com site:

I use a Cricut to cut gumpaste. First of all, you have to remove all of the tackiness from the cutting mat, otherwise you can't get the paste off after it's cut. (I literally rub it all off with my fingers then wash the mat in hot water.) To hold the paste in place, I apply a thin smear of crisco to the mat. I roll the paste thin, to a #7 on my pasta machine, and let it dry slightly. It works best with old gumpaste actually. I trim the paste so that it does not extend beyond the area that paper would normally be on the mat. I set the blade depth to a 4.

I get very clean, precise cuts except when the blade needs to be cleaned (after about 24 uses). I just remove the blade holder and use a straight pin to flick out the build up of paste. It comes right out, and I'm up and running again.

Is there anything the Cricut can't do??
