I purchased a Cameo several months ago, and I have yet to get it to work right. It always just destroys my gum paste. I use both Make the Cut and the free version of the Silhouette software. What settings do you use that works? I use Satin Ice gumpaste and a pasta roller to roll it out. Any tricks/tips that you have found to work are greatly appreciated!! I've contacted the lady that put the set together for cakes, but her only suggestion was to use her recipe for gumpaste. I don't want to do this because I'm afraid it will kill my mixer to make it, and I can't afford to buy another just yet.

I have used Linda's recipe along with her instructions and they work perfectly. I've also added tylose to wilton fondant and had good luck. The KEY is following Linda's instructions to the "t". If you don't let it set up as she suggest you chances of getting clean cuts are next to impossible. I've also used premium frosting sheets from icingimages with great success.

I leave them on the backing and trim a little of the frosting sheet off each side then tape the backing to the cutting mat (tape all the way down each side).
