Sugar Beer Bottles

So a few months ago I uploaded two videos on how to make a sugar bottle mold and how to make a sugar beer bottle.







Now Dominic from www.makeyourownmolds.com posted a new set of videos that puts my videos to shame :)

You guys should check out his youtube page http://www.youtube.com/user/MakeYourOwnMolds

New Cake Toy!

So have I mentioned lately that I have the best boyfriend ever. Hes awesome!

He bought me a new Airmaster KopyKake Airbrush. It arrived today, just in time for some cakes I have to make this weekend.

I've been wanting an airbrush for such a long time. Its gonna take my Cake Decorating to the next level. :)

Na na na na na na na na na na Batman!

So I was asked to make a Batman themed cake by a friend. I used my Cricut to cut out the logo and the skyline.

I googled the Batman logo, and used the green trace feature in SCAL to cut.

For the skyline I used the Plantin SchoolBook Cartridge. Its on page 69 and I used the shadow image.

I think it came out so cute. :)

Juicy Purse Cake

This was my 1st time using the Cricut for a cake. There was some trail and error but I finally found what worked for me.

The picture isn't the greatest quality, I promise it looked better in person.

I used Paint to help me edit a Juicy Couture logo. I didn't want all the fine tiny details, just the basic shape. I know some people use Inkscape, but I haven't figured out how to use it yet.

Than I used Sure Cuts Alot (I love that program!) to cut. I used tappits for the lettering.

I also used the Cricut to help me cut out the Shoes.

I got the template from Jacque Benson, she has an awesome shoe tutorial at http://www.sugarteachers.blogspot.com.

1st Post

Hey

I recently got a Cricut Expression. It was a Christmas gift from my awesome boyfriend. I've been wanting a Cricut for months now, not to use it for scrap booking but to use it on CAKES.

I know that sounds weird but the Cricut cuts gum paste beautifully, and I no longer have to hand cut with and exacto knife and a template. Which saves me a lot of time and cursing.

So I thought I would share my cake and scrap booking adventures.

Enjoy :)
