Those who want to create stunning decorations for cakes, cookies, and other treats will love the new Cricut Cake Machine. This machine is the latest innovation from ProvoCraft, the makers of the Cricut machines for paper crafts.

The Cricut Cake Machine can cut words and images out of gum paste to affix to cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or just about anything else that’s edible. This makes it easy for even a beginning cake decorator to achieve beautiful, professional looking treats without having to hand pipe designs.

The cake machine is similar in design to the Cricut Expression. Gum paste is rolled out and put on a cake machine mat. The mat is then loaded into the machine. The decorator selects the images and size they want, and presses “Cut”. The machine cuts the images, the gum paste is unloaded from the machine, lifted from the mat, and attached to the cake. The cake Cricut machine features stainless steel parts for food safety. It is also designed so that food particles cannot get stuck in the machine. Also, whereas the Cricut Expression mats have adhesive on them to keep projects from slipping, the cake machine mats do not. This makes the mat safe for food, and gum paste can be adhered to the mat with shortening or vegetable oil. This mat also has circle measurements on it. Like the Expression, cake machine mats are available in either 12 by 12 inch or 12 by 24 inch sizes.

The cake machine comes with the Cake Basics cartridge. The cartridge contains a font, basic shapes, swirls and flowers, so it’s easy to get started right away. All of the rest of the Cricut cartridges can be used with the cake machine.

Cake decorators of all levels can achieve professional quality results quickly and easily with the new Cake Cricut Machine.
