Hi,

I'm curious. I see those beautiful damask wedding cakes made with gumpaste, cut by cricut. However, wouldn't they be too hard to bite into?

I've been trying to get my cricut cake to cut fondant, but not much success.... yet, i'm not so keen to let people bite into such hard stuff.

What do you think?

It will cut the fondant if you freeze it hard first. Ive cut satin ice with my Cricut cake straight from the freezer. You have to work fast and in small pieces to keep it froze.

Generally, gum paste is going to shatter when the cake is cut, if it's rolled thinly. It's rare that people end up with much gumpaste to eat on their cake.

thanks for all the reply.

btw, how do you transfer intricate designs onto the cake without distorting it?

thanks for the info! =)

i also find that if i transfer somewhat soft gumpaste to a buttercream covered cake, that the moisture from the buttercream keeps the gumpaste soft. therefore, once it's cut into, it cuts through the gumpaste as well
