Cricut Cake Giveaway

I have had a Cricut for a few years now and at Thanksgiving I was able to upgrade to a Cricut Expression and love it!!! Well...the people at PC have come out with a Cricut Cake

and if you have seen this blog than you know that I make and decorate cakes. Cuttlebug Challenge is offering one as a giveaway and some other great prizes!!! I would love to have one because it would take decorating to a whole new level and would make it so much faster! If you would like a chance to win one just go here.

Here are a few examples of what you can do:

Nephew's 7th B-Day Cake!!!

My nephew had his 7th B-day party a few weeks ago and was having a Barnyard theme! He asked if I would make a cow cake like I had done for my DD's B-day! Of course, I said I would and this is what it looked like...

compared to my DD's cake...

I tried to "boy" it up as much as possible!!! He liked it so I guess that is all that matters!

2nd B-Day Invitation and Cakes!!!

This is the invitation that I made for my daughters 2nd Birthday! It was a cow theme party because we live on a farm and have cows and she is obsessed with anything COWS!!!

I used my cricut and the Celebrations Cartridge to cut out the balloons and the # 2, Animal Kingdom Cartridge to cut out the pieces for the cow and the word moo, and the Tear Drop Cartridge for the words Look Who's.

The idea for this invite came from this shirt that I found and had made...

and also air brushed her sheet cake to match and made a cow cake!!!

 

1st B-Day Invitations and Cakes!!!

For my DD's 1st B-Day I did a generic theme because she wasn't into any one thing a whole lot yet. I decided to do flowers, butterflies, and ladybugs and of course main color being pink! I found the party supplies at a local party store and based my theme off it.

I made the invitations using my baby cricut, cricut cartridges-George and Basic Shapes (flower), Tear Drop (#1 and butterfly), and Celebrations (birthday), paper from DCWV- Nana's Kids, ribbon from my stash, and a invite stamp that I got at Michaels.

I made all of DD's cakes also! The sheet cake is a white cake, the butterfly is chocolate, and the flower is strawberry! Here is a closer look at the cakes and of the smash cake I made for her which is also a white cake.
