Cake toppers are a great way to add the perfect finishing touch to any cake. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or any other special occasion, cake toppers are the perfect way to make your cake stand out. If you’re looking for something unique, customizing your own cake toppers with a Cricut machine can be a great option.
Cricut machines are user-friendly machines that allow you to create custom designs using a variety of materials such as vinyl, fabric, and cardstock. They are perfect for making custom cake toppers because they allow you to create precise cuts and intricate designs.
When it comes time to cut your cake topper design with your Cricut machine, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
- Choose the right material. You want your cake topper material to be food-safe and durable enough so that it won’t break or tear easily.
- Set up the machine. Once you’ve chosen your material and uploaded the design you want cut into the Cricut Design Space software, set up your Cricut machine by attaching the correct cutting blade and placing the material on the mat.
- Adjust settings. Adjust settings in Design Space such as blade type and speed according to what type of material you’re using.
For example, if using cardstock, use a “deep cut” blade type and adjust speed accordingly.
- Cut! Once all settings have been adjusted correctly, simply click “Cut” in Design Space. Your Cricut machine will do all the work for you!
Removing Cake Topper Pieces
Once your design has been cut out of your material with your Cricut machine, carefully remove each piece from the mat. Place each piece on wax paper or parchment paper so that they don’t stick together while they dry. After they have dried completely (usually within 24 hours), they should easily come off from their mats without sticking together.
Final Touches
You can now assemble all pieces together for an easy-to-assemble cake topper! You can also add additional touches such as glitter or paint if desired.
Conclusion
Cutting custom cake toppers with a Cricut machine is an easy way to create unique designs for any occasion. By following these steps and adjusting settings according to what type of materials used in Design Space software, anyone can create beautiful custom cake decorations with ease!
