Great Tutorial :) As a cricut user myself, Just a bit of advice - if you turn the mat over and peel the mat away from the cardstock etc it is much easier to remove than doing it face up 😊

[@Saz-Cakes]

I have watched may be 100s of tutorial on the same thing. This is the best of best. Very detailed explanation. Thank you so much 🙏❤️

[@patgriffiths1315]

Hi Lynn, brilliant tutorial. I have a Cricut maker just got to get it out of the box and learn how to use it. Would love to see more Cricket tutorials please

[@jelenasundov6871]

This was a great tutorial, thank you. I have a Cricut but was not sure where to start so have not used it. This has taken the fear out of using it and now can’t wait to get started.

[@grnwillow4632]

I'd love to own a Cricut, and this tutorial makes using one look so easy, I may have to get one. Thanks for all the information, great explanations and walk-throughs. The toppers look amazing!

[@CakesbyLynz]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it and found the video useful in showing how to make them. It really was really easy to make them and there are so many possibilities of what you can make. I really enjoy having this one.

[@raneenmohammed9111]

Wow! Thank you for showing how to use it , I would love to have a Cricut maker Love all your videos Lynz

[@aseal5511]

The toppers are very pretty and they are loved by all and easy to make with the Cricut Maker. I also make them for my family, friends and my dogs when they have a birthday with the Cricut. The only suggestion I have is; when using glitter paper or just regular cardstock toppers I always cut a second layer (one glitter, one cardstock) & glue, so they will not bend/curl when placed on the cake.

[@apan4201]

😍 I have a cricut joy already and just bought a cricut maker! Thanks for this! You're tutorials always match my thoughts! 💜

[@CakesbyLynz]

You are so welcome! I'm so glad it's good timing for you. I really hope the video will be useful. You are going to have so much fun with the maker, I'm sure.

Thank you so much for this tutorial Lynz, I got a cricut explore air 2 late last year to make cake toppers and have had some success but you make it look so easy. Did it take you long to get to grips with it? Would love to see more videos from you on the Cricut (with a little more explanation perhaps)? Many thanks ☺️

You can put food into a cricut?

[@AngelaEliseB]

@@katherinewilson2026 yep :) a food safe mat can either be made or bought & by using a deep cut blade, 2D fondant peices can be cut out. Making sure that blade is used only for fondant though. Also sugar sheets or icing sheets can be ran through one too!😁

[@joyfoster7514]

Hi Lynz Great video having just acquired a cricut machine ...can you let me know which cardstock you use to make the toppers ...theres so much around I don't know which is best. Many thanks Joy 😊

[@ChrisTurner_krispii]

I would echo the comment about peeling the mat away from the cardstock - and also that you can use the remainder of the cardstock for other projects. I appreciate that the video was sponsored by Cricut, but there are also many, many free fonts available that can be used for all kinds of projects. It's a great video - probably a bit fast for beginners to follow with regard to the use of Design Space, but there are so many resources available to learn how to use the Cricut range of machines, that it really isn't a problem :)

[@rajeshome]

That's really cool...👍🏻

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi, You are very welcome. I'm using the Cricut design space to design the letters for the cake toppers. You can work on this on the computer, on a tablet or on a mobile too. It then links up to your Cricut machine.

[@amberwilkins6818]

Hi! I have just got a Cricut maker. I made a happy birthday cupcake topper - did it all step by step according to this video. I used the Cricut pastel glitter card stock. When I used the spatula to get the topper off of the matt, it rips off the back paper of the glitter card in places, so the topper looks so messy and ripped on the back. Yours wasn’t like this. Any advice?

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi Amber, I'm sorry to hear it wasn't as easy to get off. Are you using a brand new mat? In my experience one thing I've found is if the mat is brand new it is really really sticking making it harder to peal the toppers off. After a few uses it is a lot easier to get the card off and slide the spatula underneath. If it was a new mat I would try sticking some paper to the mat and pealing it off a few times to see if it makes it easier to peal off. Cricut also sell different mats with different levels of stickiness, I was using the standard mat. I really hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
