Cricut Cake
Bought my cricut cake from HSN arived Friday, ran out Saturday to get fondant. Found a store in the city called N.Y Cake. Loads of baking items. Tested machine Sunday to see if it was a keeper. Well she wins I'll love her. I ordered the Provocraft gumpaste and frosting sheets so can't wait to cut those and see which works best for me. I did find the fondant cut beautiful but a bit too soft. The outer piece of the heart just crumbled. Guess I'll be hitting the cricut message boards and google to find out what others are doing about that.

Off Topic - Margarita Jello
I've been missing in action for a bit. Work has been taking most my time these days so haven't created a thing until today. I bought myself the Cricut Cake Machine for my birthday. So to get myself in kitchen mode I also made some Margarita Jello.
