I am interested in buying a cricut machine but have seen alot of posts talking about both the cricut cake and the original cricuts that I thought were for paper only. Can you use either machine for fondant/gumpaste or does it have to be the cricut cake machine only? Thanks!

AThe old ones were able to be modified. Then, finally, cricut made one for cakes.

Please consider the silhoutte. It is much more versatile in tha you don't need cartridges. You can cut just about anything!

ADo not get the cricut. They no longer support a software that let's you import and cut your own images from a computer.

You can only cut cricut images which limits what you can do. There are several other machines out there with much more freedom to cut your own custom images.
