How Do You Think This Design Was Made?

My experience with a Cricut was that I couldn't get this kind of detail and precision.
I'm thinking it's a mold...fairly deep...filled with gumpaste or fondant and then all excess except the design scraped off. Dried on a form or applied using the waxed paper method. Whatever it is, it's gorgeous!
The only thing about the mold is it seem like you would get distortion when trying to remove the gumpaste.

I'd pop it in the freezer before removing it from the mold then air dry and apply like Crimsicle says, that would minimise distortion, you could also use modelling chocolate/candy clay, it might be more forgiving when applying to the cake.
....I wonder if they measured those perfectly or if there's a half square at the back......
AHmmmm, I'm thinking a cutter with several components to it possibly? Boy I sure would like to find one of those!
If you find out if it was a cutter or a mould, would you let us know, please? It's gorgeous!!
ASorry, I have no idea. I'm not familiar with it. I will say unless you can find a cartridge with that image, no. As to if it will cut cleanly, I don't know.
Linda McClure may know. She was the one who originally converted the cricut.
AIt was! I printed the wood grain, then cut the design. It did break a little when placing, but so easy to match you'd never know.
I have a cricut and rarely use it. My experience has been the smaller the design you are trying to cut the harder it is to cut. I called cricut to see if I was doing something wrong and was told to freeze my gumpaste/fondant 45 minutes before cutting. Also, not to expect to get a clean cut on anything smaller than 3". Let us know what you figure anything out. I would really love to wipe the dust off of my cricut
I've seen something similar done with the Martha Stewart punches like this one http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B50JNR0/?tag=cakecentral-20+stewart+punch+set

About halfway down the page, Edna De La Cruz of DesignMeACake did this in blue. At least I think it's the same
