I found one on craigslist for $135 which included the full size machine, 3 carts, some tools, a cutting mat, and a pack of frosting sheets. I dislike the taste of the frosting sheets!! Made me gag! lol

I played with it all day yesterday. I've been looking for ways to make my own frosting sheets. I think I'm going to try a 50/50 mix of fondant & gumpaste.

I have one and I use it all the time, but I got mine when you could still buy Sure Cuts a Lot. If I had to buy cartridges I wouldn't use it near as much. There definitely is a learning curve to using the machine. I have found that modeling chocolate or Fondarific cut the best, especially after a 5 minute trip in the freezer for it to firm up. Regular fondant is just too soft and stretchy to cut properly.

The premium frosting sheets from icingimages work great.

Freezing your fondant after you roll it out onto the mat works great! Cleaner cuts.
