I was so excited to get this when they first came out.  Unfortunately, my failure rate is much higher than my success rate.

AThey no longer make it. I use the silhouette cameo with a blade by Linda Mclure designed for gumpaste. It's great! Takes a bit of time and patience to work with it but once you figure it all out it's limitless

[URL=http://cakecentral.com/u/667070/lcubed83]lcubed83 look up Linda McClures gumpaste for cricut machine recipe on google.  I don't have any problems when I use this, roll it out, and let it sit for and hour or so in a bag.[/URL]

Yes yes yes. This gumpaste is great for cutting. Also, get the cricut deep cut blade. I like that gumpaste so much I use it all the time

I have a Deep cut blade, but it doesn't seem to fit the Cricut Cake machine.  I know some people use it for the regular cricut.

I only cut modeling chocolate in my Cricut and I find that it cuts best when cold and firm.

The Cricut cake machine has a different blade housing than the regular Cricut machines. You can use the deep cut blade housing unit with the deep cut blade in the Cricut Cake machine. The Cricut Cake is no longer being sold, so you may have to go to ebay to find replacement blades.
