I heard about a cricut cake class being taught at Rocky Mount, NC on this message board. It sounded like what I needed to really learn how to use my cricut machine to its best advantage. Linda McClure taught the 2 day class and I have to tell you it was fantastic. I can now make any design I want and sucessfully cut it out with the cricut. All of the issues I was having with my gum paste are resolved. I feel confidant that I can actually teach other people how to use their cricuts for gum paste. One of the more interesting parts of the class was the demonstration with the Silhouette. It is another electronic cutter and can also cut gum paste. It has a print and cut feature. I can print a picture on gum paste and the machine will cut it out. It did a better job cutting out the gum paste designs then the cricut did. Linda cut out several cute pictures and then decorated a cake as part of her demo. I think a Silhouette will be a great addition to my cake decorating tools. I would highly recommend taking a class from Linda. She is a great teacher.
I'm taking her class in July. She is the person that originally came up with cutting gumpaste with the cricut. Too bad provo craft didn't keep her on board because they don't know jack squat about using it. I'm a firm believer in what goes around comes around and with all the machines being returned I guess they are getting theirs.
thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have been thinking ofaking Linda's class also.I was wondering if i could also cut paper with the cricut and if the blades were interchangeble , is this something Linda covered in the class.
Looking for more information on the Shilouette that you spoke about in your posting.
Where can you find information on this machine?
Can you tell us more?
I am going to do a google search on the Silhouette and go to youtube to see what I can find. From what I saw it is a great machine.
