Peony and Scrolls
I love when a client lets you do whatever you want with a cake! I’ve been wanting to try making a gumpaste peony for some time now and also have an excuse to try out my Cricut Cake. This little 6 inch MMF covered cake is the results. TFL.

Thank you! :)
Really pretty!!! I can’t believe you did that with a cricut. So beautiful.
very pretty! i have a cricut too but i never managed to get a clean cut like yours. any tips for woeful me? lol
Thanks BITO, I roll out my gumpaste to #4 on my KitchenAide pasta attachment then smooth it onto the greased cutting mat (make sure there are not air bubles), pop it in the freezer for about 5 minutes. While that’s in the freezer get the machine ready to cut your pattern. After 5 minutes, rush it over and cut. I only did two cuts at a time because the gumpaste thaws quickly. I did try leaving in the freezer for longer, but found that the gumpaste dried out a bit and then my cuts were more jagged. HTH.
Beautiful! Love the colour combination and your peony is gorgeous!
thanks Naomi, that is definitely helpful. I shall give it a try in the future. xo
So clean and so elegant!!!
Lovely!
Thanks everyone!
So beautiful! Thanks to you, I’m going to dust off my Cricut box I ordered months ago that I haven’t actually used yet… so thanks for the helpful tips on how to do it :) Love your cake!
Gorgeous! You have inspired me to use the Cricut 2 I ordered some months ago but have yet to actually use for fear of complete and utter failure! :)
this is gorgeous! i am thinking of buying a CRICUT machine but not sure how it works really…to obtain a pattern like your, do i need to buy several cartridges, or do i simply program the machine as if it was a PC?
Hi thecupcakesalon, this pattern is from the Cake Basics cartridge which was included with the Cricut Cake machine. Any Cricut Expressions cartridge can be used with the Cricut Cake.
Just beautiful!
