I had to watch the video to find out what the thing is.

Seems to cut shapes out of bits of paper.

They cut shapes out of icing for cakes!

suppose if you were in business you would get one but not really worth it for home users. looks like just another poor american effort to commercialise and cash in on things like halloween, grandparents day + christmas (give me an old fashioned traditional christmas anyday and im not old im only 23! but as the years go on christmas is fast becomming one of my most hated times of year esp when i get the shopping list off people wanting £50+ spent on them!)

I had a quick glance at it whilst channel hopping because there wasnt anything decent on lol thought the woman selling it was annoying, usually i love americans but for the whole 2 mins I had it on she got on my nerves.

the whole.........

"oh yeah I go home in 2 days and its my daughters birthday a few hours after i get home (yadda yadda yadda) i made these before i came over to the uk and froze them so all i have to do is pick up the cake i pre ordered take the pre cut decorations out of the freezer and stick them on.. no stress and IM NUMBER 1 MOMMY YEYY"

And the cost of the accessories to! £29.99 for the hand tools

UGH for the cost of the machine and accessories. how many shop bought cakes could you buy? Hell you could even go and pay to have lessons in how to decorate cakes!

always thought that home made birthday cakes were better anyway and i happen to think it looks quite cute if they arent 100% PERFECT shows more thought and love has gone into it!

I used some compensation money to treat myself. I must admit, i don't get as much use out of it as i should, but i use it for scrapbooking, cards and wedding invites that i make and sell. I love it :P and the kids do to however i dont think it was worth the money!
Dont understand the whole cake one though

They do work out stupid money though, once you have the machine you have to buy the cartridges, extra mats, new blades, pens to draw instead of cutting. Mega investment but only worth it if your a sessoned crafter!
