My success with the cricut cake with pic and tips! - Page 26

I bought several flexible mats, roll out the gum paste, apply to the mat and put in a zip lock bag over night. Transfer to the cutting mat and away you go. Just be sure to use shortening on the mats so it doesn't stick.

thumbs_up.gif Yes, please let me know how that goes for you. I will probably buy a few more mats. How can you tell when the mat is ready to be discarded?

Oh you will know!!! I still use my worse one, but it seems to get harder to remove after it's cut and you cannot cut in reverse, because all the cut marks will show!

I had the bright idea of rolling out gumpaste and putting it on a cake board with wax paper on it and put it in the freezer...ehhhh....the wax paper would not come off the gumpaste hehe....so dont do that

Well, it was cleaver, and if it worked it would have been brilliant.

would maybe parchment paper work better..since its a lil more durable....or try a lil cornstarch or PS... I think grease might make it stickier.

I did my first proper cricut cake today, pink and girly, it all went quite well. Ionly used fondant and for some reason today they cut out and came off the mat ok. icon_confused.gif Mind u they were fairly solid shapes. Anyhow the cake came out well and the client was really pleased with it. icon_biggrin.gif

Ah brill well done did you post any pics? i've been having a play with mine did a little cake for my friend at weekend who's wedding cake I did and they didn't get to eat any of their top tier so did a little sponge with some swirly hearts and Mr and Mrs lettering on the top in same flavour as their top tier. They came off the mat ok but I think also cos they were fairly solid and not too thin icon_smile.gif
