Here’s my first project using my Martha Stewart Cricut Cake to decorate a pie, using the Hello Kitty Cartridge. I hope you enjoy!

Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores gives you a peak at the new Cricut Cake Machine by Provo Craft. See what’s inside the box and how easy it is to get started creating gorgeous cakes, cupcakes, desserts and more.

In this video I convert my Cricut Expression into a Cricut Cake…or at least as close to a Cake as an Expression can get. Come see me at www.joyslife.com!

Here is my very first project using the Cricut Cake….here’s a few things that I have learned about the machine: …okay……..wow i spent all day yesterday and part of today working with this machine…all and all I have to say I am pleased………..BUT…it will take much practice for me at least…here’s a few things that I have learned: 1: need to get a better recipe for sugar cookies because the one I used was to buttery and when I went to cut using the machine the edges were to raggedy..(that is why the strawberry looks a little raggedy)….so what I found to work was I added lots of flour to the dough to make it a bit rougher then rolled on the mat and stuck it in the freezer for about 20 minutes and then the cuts CUT LIKE BUTTER…(funny I used that BUTTER word after saying I needed a recipe that was buttery..he he)… 2. the sheet that came in the package from hsn…didn’t work for me one bit…yuck…maybe I did something wrong…but the brown was horrible just like the red…but it was probably me… 3. I love the fondant from Michaels..I bought the box of white and then a box of ****orted food colorings to get the green and red colors of the projects below…the brown on the tree was a piece from the ones from hsn…anyHOO, the fondant was perfect to re-color…I think I will go this way most of the time ….. besides the colors that I might buy premade….I haven’t tried the gum paste yet… 4. I really need to have more mats…it would have made things …

Made most decorations with my Cricut Cake using the Cake Basics Cartridge, Bottom cake is 14 inch chocolate 3 layer cake with strawberry mousse and chocolate buttercream, middle is 12 inch 3 layer vanilla cake with strawberry mousse and cream cheese buttercream and top is 10 inch 3 layer vanilla cake with mocha filing and chocolate mocha buttercream. I airbrushed the entire cake with AmeriColor Pear Sheen and the Butterflies and Borders were cut out with my Cricut Cake using The Cake Basics Cartridge and the # 15 using my Storybook Cartridge.
