How Do You Cut Edible Images on Cricut?

Edible images, like those used for cake decorations and cupcake toppers, are a great way to add a personalized touch to your desserts. But how do you cut them on a Cricut machine?

It’s actually quite easy! With the right materials and the right settings, you can have perfect edible images in no time.

To make edible images with a Cricut machine, you’ll need some special materials. First, you’ll need an edible ink printer. This will allow you to print your images onto an edible paper or wafer paper.

You can find these printers online or in specialty cake-decorating stores. Next, you’ll need your Cricut machine. Make sure it’s set up properly and that it has the correct blades.

Once everything is set up, it’s time to start cutting! You’ll want to use the LightGrip mat for this project as it will hold the edible paper in place. Place your printed image on the mat and load it into the machine. Select “Custom” from the list of materials on the touchscreen and then choose “Edible Image” from the list of custom materials.

Now it’s time to adjust your settings. Depending on what type of edible paper you’re using, you’ll need to adjust both the blade type and pressure settings. The blade type should be set to “Deep Cut” if using wafer paper or “Fine Point” if using frosting sheets.

The pressure setting should be adjusted so that it is not too high or too low for cutting through your chosen material.

Once everything is set up and ready to go, hit start! The Cricut machine will do all of the hard work for you; all that’s left is for you to peel away any excess material around your cutouts and voila! Perfectly cut edible images that are ready for decorating.

Conclusion: Cutting edible images with a Cricut machine is quick and easy! All you need is an edible ink printer, some special materials like wafer paper or frosting sheets, and some basic knowledge of how to adjust your settings for best results. With just a few simple steps, you can have perfectly cut edible images in no time at all!
