I was one of the lucky folks to be hired as part of the Cricut Demo Army to demonstrate the new Cricut Cake machine at Michaels this coming month. So in order to get ready to demonstrate the machine properly I have been practicing at home.
Here are a few of my samples.
This is actually an 8 inch round styrofoam piece that I have covered in fondant and decorated with cuts from the Cricut Cake Basics cartridge, the shape cuts are at 7 1/2 for green doily, 6 for the yellow design and 3 for the flower and the white circle was at 1 inche and the lettering (also from Cake Basics) is at 2 inches.
These here are little cowboy boots from the cake cartridges also, they were cut from Kraft American cheese slices at 1 and 1/4 inch, I have to tell you this machine cuts cheese and bologna like nobodys business.
These cute little cowboy hats (also from the cake cartridge) are sugar cookies, yep sugar cookies. The cookie was cut on shadow at 3 inches and the hat and band were cut from fondant at 3 inches.

Hi, glad to see you were successful with your CC. Can I ask what you used on the cake and cowboy cookies? Is it gum paste? I have been trying to use gum paste and not having much success! Thanks.
Did you have to use crisco on the mat for the cheese and bologna?
Brandi on the cowboy hat I used fondant as that was all I had on hand at the time.
SK you do not need crisco on the mat for cheese or bologna

WOW Amazing you are almost enabling me to get a cricut cake! My kids would eat anything shaped like a hat ;)
Super cute! How thick did you roll out the cookie dough?

The cookie dough ended up a little thicker than a slice of bologna when I was done rolling. I do not use the bands on my rolling pin and I never measure. I think after the first time using the machine you just kind of eyeball it and can get it right. I just try to judge if it can fit under the roller it will work, you just have to decrease your pressure so you do not have the indent from the blade housing.
