Cricut Cake
Now there is the latest toy cakes soon in Germany now and I've even started to play with. Well the device is not cheap and a bit tricky - but it seems uuuuuuuuuuuunendlich many ways to offer!
My attempts've even recorded by image and I thought that is sure to find one or the other, the results also very interesting. The image quality is not the best but I think you can already see the differences quite well.
There are English-speaking several pages on the subject and even videos, but my first point was: there must be a Rollfondant can be used, which I also can buy in Germany! So I have only used Modellierfondant that I made from Callebaut tragacanth and "White Icing" and flower paste of "Squires Kitchen. Both of you can get from pie stuff.
is highly recommended to use a Pasta machine (if possible engine;)), which can roll out a truly uniform thickness. The results are significantly better.
This adheres the mass on the pad, I have this greased with coconut oil (Palmin Soft or Ceres). Not too much nor too little, otherwise distort the cut parts.
So here come the tests:
number 1: use
I have 2 parts Modellierfondant and 1 part flower paste, rolled out at level 6, not frozen at, velocity (speed): 2 and Pressure (Pressure): 3
speed and pressure I have found it good, the setting in all test so calm.
2:
same mixture as in number 1 and also equal settings.
The result is not bad - but that ought to go even better ....
number 3:
I have again used the same mix, just done the whole for 10 minutes in the freezer! The difference is, I think, clearly visible.
number 4: I
Now I changed the mix: 2 parts paste and flower 1 part Modellierfondant. first again used fresh, not done in the freezer. The Fleur de Lis slightly warped, but much worse was that a bubble was in the crowd! Therefore, it is important with the trowel rauszustreichen all air bubbles when they put the mass on the support !!!!!
number 5:
Again, the mixture 2 parts and 1 part paste flowers Modellierfondant and then 10 minutes in the freezer - I think the result of super! cut by hand certainly, but if you need only to look like the Cricut cuts all in less than 2 minutes is pretty cool.
Conclusion: for parts that I want directly onto the cake, I would take the first mixture so that it can also bite well can. Version 2 is so hard that you letters, can put ornaments etc. self-supporting on the cake.
really is important to the mat really thick: not too little, then does not keep the fondant on the base and too much is moved in cutting the mass. The smoother is also unendbehrlich and the pasta machine I can also place only every fond (but now I use for the loops, bands at the edge of the cake, etc - for that is really everything).
You have to "play" with the Cricut. It is definitely not a device that you take from the box and immediately get perfect results. But if one takes the time, then the possibilities are unbeatable!
