I see what you're saying, but, i think the fonts and writing on the cakes will look so much nicer with the Cricut. and for some bordered and scroll work.
Anne-Marie Main said:In my opinion the Cricut is just replacing the constant purchasing of cutters! Think about this, you still have to roll out the fondant or whatever your using. Think about how boring a cricut cut flower would look unless you frilled the edges of it. You can still add luster dust to the cut pieces or dregee's, what-have-you. You still have to use your own creative mind and hands to get the job done. It isn't like a commercial cake machine that makes the cakes, frosts the cakes and decorates the cakes, and you get to box them.
I purchased a bread maker when they first came out and within a few months gave it away because I couldn't use my hands. I felt I couldn't say I made the bread because really all I did was add the ingredience and add water! Nooo fun for me. So I considered that before I purchased my Cricut Cake, because I still want to be creative and do the work myself.

It's nice to know that there isn't a licensing issue!

I just sent them an email though my Cricut Account. They usually get back within 24 hours. They do have some cartridges that are licensed such as Disney etc... and I am sure those would fall under the NO you can not sell the product without a license due to the fact that they are under a contract with those companies. Until I hear from Provo Craft I have put my order on hold. Not purchasing the machine if I can not sell the cakes I make with it. It's too expensive of a toy for home use only for me! I already have several hundred cutters and don't need one more if I can't use it. I was loving the damask and the filigree and the border options with it. I still have my pre order in on it but might pull it if I can't sell my cakes.

Jeri ~ please let us know as soon as you hear something. In the meantime, I'll see what I can find out. I agree with you. No need to have another machine sitting around if it can only be used for the home. Don't need additional clutter.

The bakery industry has been used to paying licensing fees for many years – it is a form of paying royalties to the creator of images when we all clearly benefit from their work. When Provo Craft approached us in the very beginning about testing the cricut Cake, we asked about licensing. They explained the Angel Policy and that it basically allowed for 200 cakes a year using the same design elements. We mentioned that for use in mass production (i.e. cupcakes, cookies, etc) this would not be feasible and the baking industry would need more than that. They promised that they would eventually come out with an affordable professional license. It is the existence of this license, a license we retail bakers essentially asked for, that now got them into a lot of hot water with every one.
We received a call this morning from our contact at Provo Craft. He asked us to relay to the industry as a whole that the Angel Policy on Provo Craft content would be suspended for the creation of cakes. This means that anyone can use any of the cartridges, with the exception of third-party licenses such as Disney, to make as many cakes as they want and sell them wherever they want. Provo Craft said they will announce the news some time today.

No, I live in Richmond, VA and it was shipped from their warehouse in Bristol, VA yesterday so it arrived today. HSN gave me an estimated arrival date of April 26th. So it was extra early.

Anne-Marie ~ I hope your right. I work for a state agency where we investigate consumer complaints and asked one of our investigators to call Provo Craft for us to get an answer. This afternoon they told him that they are looking into licensing each individual cartridge separately. Basically there will be different licensing fees for each cartridge. I hope Provo Craft clears this up and soon because this uncertainty is not good!

I have a thread on here about what they are doing with licensing. This statement came from a top exec at Provo Craft. That told me so it is not hearsay.
