Like with any baking endeavor, it will take some time to get used to using gum paste and other materials with your Cricut Cake Machine, especially if you choose to make your own. Learning the consistency and the thickness is vital to getting your items to cut properly. Too sticky and the material will bunch up. Too thick and the cut will be jagged. Everything has to be just right, even the pressure setting on the machine. As always, it is also important to practice proper food safety procedures. Be sure to clean your machine, as well of the interior parts and the mat each time you use it according to the manufacturer’s suggestions.
