First day using the Cricut Cake Cutter. Wifey volunteered to decorate a cake and bake cupcakes for a friend’s baby shower. I hung out and caught the action on a Canon 550D / T2i.
Hello Everyone In this video, my 1st Cricut Cake cut I wanted to test the machine and see if I’d keep it or send it back to HSN. Well the machine won. I love the machine glad I finally got it.

I like that the wilton is already colored and cuts so easy. I think its better for large wide cuts.
