Never thought to make my own center piece but its definitely a must do if you are planning a party! I found this on Polka dots and Parties website and love this idea, adding cake pops to this center piece will make it the highlight of your party. The Sweet Treats cartridge was released back in 2009 one that I think I’m going to need to add to my collection.

Wow Wow Wubbzy Cake using the Cricut Cake
I made this cake for my son’s 6th birthday. He absolutely loved it. Wubbzy and friends including the text were created using the Cricut Design Studio. Of course I didn’t create them myself, I had my sister create the svg files for me. The buildings around the cake were quickly cut out by hand. I know the tooth pick in the back holding up Wubbzy is and eye sore but I was strap on time and needed a quick solution =)

Cutting Cookie Dough with my Cricut Cake
I finally found the time to be experimental with the cricut cake! We all know that the cricut cake can cut fondant and gum paste but I’ve always wondered, what else can this machine cut? So I made my first attempt to use the Cricut Cake to cut cookie dough this past weekend. Although it took a few trials and errors, I was pretty satisfied with the way my cookies turned out. This is also my very first time making icing and decorating cookies. As I weighed out the pros and cons of making my own cookie dough, I opt to buy the pillsbury already made sugar cookie dough to save time.
Here are some tips and tricks on cutting cookie dough with the cricut cake:
- The Pillsbury cookie dough is very soft so I added flour to the pre-made dough. For one stick of dough, i think I added about 2 cups of flower, I think you’ll be able to determine the correct consistency as you knead the dough
- Roll the dough onto the cricut cake mat until it is about 1/8 of an inch in thickness
- Place it in the freezer for about 3 mins
- You have about a 2-4 minute window until the dough becomes soft again, and at that point you will need to freeze the dough again. If you look at the image below, the butterfly was cut right when I took it out of the freezer and the rose above it was cut last, about 5 minutes after it was removed from the freezer
- After you’ve cut the dough, I find that it is best to put it back in the freezer for a few minutes. This helps the dough hold its shape as you move it from the cricut mat to your baking sheet.
- Since the dough was rolled out thin, I baked the cookies for about 5 mins at 325 degrees
- Unfortunately I only had 1 cricut cake mat so I found that most of my time was spent waiting around for the dough to freeze. I think I could have been much more efficient if I had additional mats
Here are the results.. for a first-timer its not half bad =) I would love to hear your comments!
For this project I used the Cricute Cake Basic Cake Cartridge (click here). and I highly suggest getting some extra Cricut Cake Cutter Mats. Make sure to use the good stuff, not the cheap stuff. You can find the Cricut Cake mats online pretty cheap (click here).

Design Studio for your Cricut Cake
I love all the different cartridges for the Cricut but there are so many images that they don’t have. As I search the web for cake decorating ideas I’ve ran across so many creative designs!
This avatar cake is one that I came across while search the web. I love how simple it is but I know that it can’t be purchased anywhere. Avatar, the last airbender is a much anticipated movie in my house household (I have 3 boys at home) and with a birthday coming up, I know that they would love a cake like this. I’ve just purchased Design Studio for the Cricut. I should be getting it in sometime next week and will let you know how it works out. Click here purchase design studio.

Before even receiving the cricut cake I volunteered to decorate a cake for a good friend’s baby shower. I was so excited about the cricut cake that I even volunteered to bake cupcakes! LOL I do have to admit that for my first cake, its not half bad. The theme of the baby shower were butterflies and lady bugs so my first choice of cartridge was the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge

Here’s a tip for using fondant with the cricut cake, after you’ve rolled out the fondant and placed it on the cricut sheet, let it sit for about a minute for the fondant temperature to go down and also dry out a bit, this will allow the cricut cake to cut better.

Cool Silicone Push Molds for Cricut Cake Design Ideas
For my last project, I made cupcakes for a baby shower. The theme for the baby shower were lady bugs and butterflies so I used the Cricut cake to cut fondant into different critter cut outs. As adorable as the critters turned out, I wanted my critters to be more three dimensional than what the cricut cake provided. So by hand I used fondant to mold out a cute little lady bug, boy did it take a lot of time to mold out a little ladybug! As I was searching the web, I found these little silicone molds that would have sped up my task and accomplished exactly what I wanted! I’ll definately use these for my next project. You can find these silicone push molds for sale on eBay (click here).
