Can this be used with an exacto knife and can you cut fondant on it?

I use an exacto knife on mine, I use for cutting gaskets and for cutting out stencils. Isn't fondant cake for decorating cakes? I'm not sure if this mat is food safe, you'd have to contact the manufacturer about that. This is a very nice cutting mat though.

I think it would work great. I purchased it specifically for cake decorating.. I use mine to cut perfect even strips of fondant which has a dough like texture and it works perfectly every time!

i have only used it with fondant . I would try it with sugar veil and see what happens. just be sure to dust it with corn flour first.

Yes you can I have used this mold with chocolate, gumpaste,wax,clay,and fondant works well with all I have made a total of over 400 of these babies and never had a problem with this mold

It would not be able to because it does not open. The item to be cut needs to be flat enough to go through the cutting part. It is sharp enough, but won't work on anything round like pipe.

I think that would be a great use for this. (Thanks!) I haven't used it for fondant, but I have used this machine to make crackers. As Amy said, this would be best for fondant decorations as you would be limited by the width of the rollers.

It's not sharp but it's not super thick or dull at the edges. I'm not sure if you'd be able to cut a wedding cake perfectly with it. Maybe you can get it sharpened... I don't know. Awesome idea by the way

They do make a hot knife for cutting Styrofoam, but I have never used one. You may want to practice of a extra piece to see if it works. I found a link: http://www.ehow.com/how_13447_cut-styrofoam.html

I don't know why not, as long as the machine is well cleaned and dry before using. Roll the fondant out and cut to fit the machine, dust it with cornstarch, XXX powdered sugar or tapioca flour to keep it from sticking to rollers.

I got the cricut cake for my birthday and I have been able to use it for both. I bought a separate mat and a deep blade housing and blades. You have to play around with the settings depending on the thickness of your paper and what not but I was happy with the way it cut fondant and paper.

It is good for the "regular" cake but if you have a cake with fondant (the hard covering that encases a design) then no it is not sharp enough to cut an entire cake. I used it for the initial cut but for the entire cake we used the knife provided by the catering hall

No, I dont believe it would work for that. I use it to cut fondant for cakes and it works wonderful. I dont believe that you would have any luck trying to use it on vegetables.

You could but I would not recommend it, this is more for pastry and dough then it is for cutting.

Yes it's possible & practical to make dado cuts with this saw depending on what your intentions are. However you need to understand a few things. It WILL NOT take a dado blade. The method used is to set the stop so the saw will lower to the desired depth and nibble away with the blade. This is very practical if you want to say make some quick half lap joints with 2x4's (for instance) or perhaps for a small shelf setup as apposed to setting up the dado blade in the table saw but I wouldn't want to use it for any large dado job that need precise accuracy. Hope this information help you some with your dado needs.

Hi, the answer is yes and no. I do cut on it and it does self heal without any problems as long as they are not deep cuts and made carefully without too much pressure. I did damage the first one I bought by making some deep cuts (through and through) applying excessive pressure with an exact-o blade on it (I was cutting out deep letters). So as long as the cuts are made with care without excessive pressure the superficial cuts do heal and wont leave marks on the fondant when rolling it. hope this helps.

Yes you can. On some cuts, thats the only way I could get a nice clean cut, as the stone was so soft. You can't beat the 'bang for your buck' you get with this saw. Used on two tiling jobs using granite and ceramic tile, and was very pleased with its performance.
