All About the Cricut

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 …
