What other cake cutting machines are out there...?
I've used a Cricut for scrpabooking for a few years now, and just recently got the cake machine... the first couple times it was rough going, but I am starting to find what works for me on it...
at this point i'm sticking with gumpaste and gotta roll it very thin... still not sure what speed and pressue settings are best, but we are experimenting...
Silhouette all the WAY! I have both and since Provo Craft sued Make The Cut I find the Cricut useless for anyone that doesn't have it yet or has updated their MTC software or cricut firmware. I'm not buying all of their expensive cartridges. If you decide on the silhouette be sure to get it from Linda McClure as she has a special blad for fondant/gumpaste that you can't get anywhere else. The blades that come with the silhouette WILL NOT WORK!
If you do not already have a machine and do not want to be limited to using the designs on cartridges, then go with the Silhouette. I love the print and cut feature. If you go with the Cricut you can no longer use any 3rd party program with it. Provo Craft sued Make the Cut, they just sued Sure Cuts A Lot and they will go after any one else who makes a program that can work with the Cricut. So the bottom line is this, if you want to invest tons of money into cartridges for the few designs you may use, get a Cricut. If you would like to make a one time purchase with limitless design possibilities, get a Silhouette. I paid $250 for my Silhouette and cake package and the Make the Cut program was less than $60.00
