Martha Does it Again!

Oh, Martha.  Where do you come up with these wonderful ideas?!

Martha Stewart's lastest additions to the home crafters arsenal are the design cartridges she has designed for the new Cricut Cake Cutter.

Now, for those of you who don't know what a Cricut machine is, it's basically this little stand-alone machine that cuts laser-sharp designs and alphabets for scrapbooking, card making, etc.  (It's a good thing I no longer buy scrapbooking supplies b/c I'm sure I would have sunk a small fortune into one of these machines and all the wonderful little cartridges).

Well, now the geniuses at Cricut are coming out with a cutter that will cut designs out of FOOD (well, sugar gum paste, to be more specific)!! Check out some of the creations:

   

   

 

And Martha's contribution will be her own set of cartridges that contain images and alphabets in her signature smart, clean, classic style.

 

 
 
And my personal favorite...

  I love the butterflies, birdies & branches in this collection.

So if you're got a hankerin' to start a cake design business of your very own, maybe you'll consider one of these lovely little machines!  I'm sure they're a ton of fun and you could get really creative with the applications.  However, after the debacles that all of my past attempts at making birthday cakes have ended up, I'll stick with purchasing cakes from those who actually know what they're doing...
