Cricut Lite Cartridge, Cupcake Wrappers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The cartridge is a really great cartridge. But it is absolutely not worth $89.99. ProvoCraft is putting out these "lite" cartridges to offer a limited number of phrases or pictures on a cartridge at a reduced cost! WalMart will carry them for about $35 and they are on eBay for $20.

Scoring Score Board and Envelope Tool Martha Stewart Crafts EK Success Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wasn't about to pay the high price associated with the other "score board", so I purchased this reasonably priced one by Martha Stewart. I love this board and the ease of use it offers. I love the storage compartment at the top and the very useful "How To" book that comes with it. Now, when I watch those tutorial videos on how to make cards and envelopes I am glad that I bought this one. I strongly believe in quality versus quantity, but that doesn't mean that I have to pay an arm-and-a-leg to always get it. Thank you Martha for thinking about those on a tight budget!!

eCraft Electronic Die Cutter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an avid papercrafter and purchased this as a supplement to my Cricut. With promises of being able to cut multiple sheets without a mat - and software that would allow the use of SVG files, it seemed like it would be a good way to do some mass production. I have a love-hate relationship with the mats for my Cricut and was really excited about the possibilities for cutting without a mat. However, I have to say I have been pretty underwhelmed. The reasons are:
1. The software is not capable and has only rudimentary features. The first version was downright buggy and impossible to use. The one and only update that has come out fixed a lot of bugs but did not add any capability. For those of us used to using Sure Cuts A Lot or Make The Cut with our Cricuts and SVG files, this software is in the dark ages. A software update promised for late December has yet to materialize - and at this point, Craftwell is being very vague about when that update may actually become available.
2. The level of customer support from Craftwell is pretty underwhelming. There is one fairly active Yahoo group for this machine, but the owner of that group has pretty much limited it to "happy talk" so discussing problems with the machine and software is not welome there. Craftwell has a community on their website, but the level of activity there is very minimal. Their facebook page is an embarassment - people begging for information, updates, and help that just sit there unanswered.The documentation that comes with the machine is very slim - and Craftwell has been pretty spotty about answering questions.
3. The image cards that are available for the machine are - in my opinion - pretty cartoonish and not very interesting. Because the software is so limited at this point, the image cards are really the only way to robustly work with the machine.
I have not given up on this cutter yet. I have high hopes that Craftwell can get their act together on both the software and the customer service and make this a big success. Some more interesting image cards would be a big plus, too. But for right now, mine is not getting used very much while the warranty ticks away - waiting for vastly improved software and customer support.
Having said all of this - the machine itself is a wonder to behold. It seems to be solid and well-engineered. It has the potential to be something very special, but it just isn't there yet.

Martha Stewart Crafts Edition of the Cricut Cake Electronic Cutting System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, yes, this version is exactly like the regular Cricut Cake $399 version sold here and other websites. The only difference is the model is white instead of red, and it comes with one of the Martha cartridges instead of the basic Cricut cartridges. And this is also the same as the Cricut Expression machine (which is marketed for scrap booking), only it's food safe and has protective coverings for it's electric bits and buttons.
Second, I would not suggest this to inexperienced decorators or people that make only the occasional cake. The investment does not seem worth it to me, but to each their own.
Third, there is a learning curve to it, it cannot cut straight fondant (nor was it advertised that it can cut fondant). You have to mix your fondant with gumpaste or make your own gumpaste by adding tylose powder to your fondant, and you have to let it rest on the mat and dry out for 30 or so minutes before you can run it through the machine. Otherwise it will not work and you'll be super frustrated. The icing sheets that are sold for the machine taste like paste. Really nasty.
I got mine and have been practicing with it and once I got the hang of it, I love what it's able to do. There is software available (not through Cricut) that you can scan in or pick any image online and this machine will cut it. That alone is awesomeness. There are also a ton of cartridges out there, since this will work with any Cricut cartridge. Look on ebay.
TIP: I noticed that I get the occasional blade drag cut on the top of my gumpaste, but noticed the side touching the mat almost always has a perfect cut. By using the "flip" feature (which will cut a mirror image of your design) I insure that the side of my design that is visable always as a perfect, sharp cut.
You can cut paper with this too, you just need a different blade (the deep cutting one) and the paper mat (although I have yet to try it). You run your own risk of contaminating your machine.

Cricut Cake 12-Inch-by-12-Inch Cutting Mat, 2 Mats Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these on the off chance that I could get them to work in my cricut expression to cut gumpaste frosting without buying a whole new machine (the cricut cake.) and it worked!!!
the only drawback to using the machine for food AND other uses (vinyl, paper, etc.) is that you could theoretically get grease on your papers and paper on your icing. neither has been a problem for me, but i just made sure to clean up after myself! (and i'm not selling cakes, so it's legit to use the same machine for both. if you have a business, I think this practice is a "no-no.")

Cricut Cake Personal Electronic Cutter, Kitchen Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start by saying that I've never used a Cricut product before, but I've been using gumpaste and fondant for about a year on my cakes. This is a fabulous machine. There is a learning curve, but it will work once you figure out the right consistency for your edible materials and with a bit of adjustment to the instructions. You really can cut the intricate designs, not just the basic hearts and whatnot. So don't give up!
First, roll your gumpaste/fondant really thin. As in, you can see the lines on the mat through it. They say to freeze it to help avoid tearing--if you roll it thin, you can use it at room temp. I couldn't get it to work at all frozen, because the condensation from the air on the cold gumpaste pretty much instantly turned it to goo. In general, I think that gumpaste works better than fondant.
Second, if you make your own gumpaste or fondant, you may want to add a bit more powder sugar than usual. Go for structure over flexibility.
Third, use a very very small amount of water (instead of shortening) on the mat if you are having trouble with the material gumming up the machine and sliding around the mat. I wiped the mat down with a damp cloth and tried it with both gumpaste and fondant. The dampness from the cloth is enough to get the sugar to stick to the mat, and it doesn't slide around as much as it does on shortening. Be warned that it will be trickier to get your designs off the mat if you use water--you may have to refrigerate or freeze them after you're done cutting. If you get the material thin enough, the shortening will work, but the thicker stuff I used worked much better with water.
So all in all, are you going to be an instant designer cake decorator with this? No--you have to understand that you're working with sugar, and sugar can be finicky, and there's going to be some trial and error. But you don't have to be a professional to get it to work, either. You just have to be patient.
