A new cake tool

I get really excited about new materials and tools for the jewelry and cakes I make. There are tons of tools available for both, so I'm pretty confident that I will never run out of possibilities when it comes to spending money to support my habits.

Today, I hit the mother lode of cake tools. Lowell got me a Cricut Cake machine, and it was waiting for me when I got home from work. It's like a scrapbooking printer/template cutting machine...FOR CAKE. Instead of paper, it cuts fondant and gumpaste and frosting sheets. Crazy, I know.
