Hi:

I have a Cricut for cutting fondant/gumpaste. However, I'd like to also use it to create stencils for my cakes - such as when I want to place a stencil on the cake and then use powdered sugar to create the letters/images.

Any opinions on the best type of material to use for the stencils?

Thanks

You can buy stencil blanks in craft stores in the ready-made stencil section in lots of different sizes. It is fairly light-weight material, but it should cut easily on a digital cutter. Don't think it would have a "food safe" rating, but....
