I'm thinking of purchasing a Cricut Cake, but the cartridge that I really want isn't listed as Cricut Cake cartridge. If I ONLY used it for food items, would it work to use it like that?

You can use any of the cartridges. Plus, they never touch the food, so you could use them to cut paper too - it is the cricut cake machine that touches the food.

I agree with Quebecgirl. I've used all sorts of Cricut cartridges in my Cricut cake.

Thanks so much! I also found the actual Cricut Cake website and it says you can as well. It's on my shopping list next month!
