Hello....I haven't been on in a long time due to my crazy schedule at my shop, so I've probably missed out on all the conversations concerning cricut cake. I just purchased one a few weeks ago.
I just don't get it. It rips most of the material to shreds...is this normal? I had a few small successes, but it is generally inconsistent. I've frozen gumpaste, fondant, rolled it thin, dried it out, warmed it up, tried icing sheets and rice papers (forget it).
I feel so disappointed because I really want to do some cute things with the cricut as advertised, but they just aren't panning out. Any suggestions or ideas? I'd so appreciate it. Thanks!
I also bought one and was extremely excited when I received it. I found that the icing sheets from Cricut were dry and broke into pieces.. 
I since have purchased the Wilton Sugar Sheets and they work beautifully. 
Good luck

FYI...the premium icing sheets can be left on their backing when putting through the cutting machines. We will have a full line of colored icing sheets coming out as well for ICES.
