All You Need Is Love

I hope everyone is having a nice Memorial Day weekend:-) It is raining here right now but forecasted to be 92 on Monday, ugh! It was just 34 a couple of days ago. Since it is such icky weather I decided to try and get another challenge card done and uploaded. This one is for Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge. I don't have the Groovy Times cart but I do have the Feeling Groovy cart which I got to make my daughter's birthday cake last February. Click HERE to see it. I also used MPS Pink-alicious stamp set for the sentiment. I thought this worked well with the card. It reminds me of the Beatles and the movie I saw as a kid, Yellow Submarine. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative Memorial Day Weekend:-)

Forgot to post my cake picture!

I posted a comment on MPS about using my cake machine for my daughter's birthday cake. I double checked to make sure it was still on my blog and wadda ya know. It's not. Duh! So here's the pic of her cake. Yes, I did forget to put dowel rods in the middle so it's sinking a little. I haven't made a two tier cake since her 6th birthday. I think I'll note that on my machine so I don't forget next year:-)

Good Day Crafters! Today I'd like to share my attempt at using the Cricut Cake machine. I broke down and purchased one on Amazon a few weeks ago because my daughter is a big Cake Boss fan. She wanted a big birthday cake like Buddy makes. I tried to explain that take a HUGE kitchen and TONS of experience, both of which I don't have. But, like any parent, how can you say "no". I watched a few YouTube videos on cutting fondant and decided to give it a try. Let me just say it's not as easy as it looks. My first attempt was fairly sad. I cut out 49 peace symbols out of "tie dye" fondant for 2 dozen cupcake tops. These are going withe her to bowling practice. A few things I learned: fondant dries out FAST; don't roll it out more than 1/8"; don't make the cuts too close together because the next cut "smooshes" the previous cut. I'm sure there were a few other amateur things I did, but this was a trial run before I do her cake. I am taking suggestions from anyone who has had success with the Cricut Cake:-) 

Thanks for checking in. Have a creative day!
