I was originally looking at getting the Cricut Cake, but then I learned about the Sillouette Cameo with the cake package. I've seen nothing but good reviews on it. But I don't want to be blind sided, so has anyone had any bad experiences with this machine & fondant/gumpaste?

Thanks!

I have both machines and prefer the silhouette. However neither works well with straight fondant. I've had pretty good luck using wilton fondant with tylose added and preparing it the same way Linda McClure suggest on her youtube videos and DVDs. With that being said I have started using the premium frosting sheets from icingimages. Less preperation and so much faster. If I want a design I can run it through my EI printer before cutting. Linda also has a vido using these sheets on cakes we bake website.
