You are crazy talented! I am basically a tech-idiot. Don’t understand any of it but I love your step by step teaching style. I looked up the price of this damn machine tho and gaaaaah-dam! It’s an investment for sure! I bake cakes but I may just continue to purchase my toppers from others lol
You can search this laser cut and engrave machine TTS-55. Its not as expensive as the others and it will do justice to your toppers. Im also learning my ways how to make some layout. :) Good luck to us! :)
I’ve been looking all over for a video like this as I am a cake maker and would love to create my own cake toppers instead of ordering them from someone else. Thank you so much!!! Now off to research the software and laser cutter you used. ✨
Glad it was helpful. Watch this video to learn about my laser czcams.com/video/rbmSO4wkBFU/video.html The software I use is coreldraw. If you decide to purchase you can save up to $500 using My Referral Code: glowforge.us/f/QWABAKFC
I really appreciate your videos. You inspired me to buy a pro for my Wife's Christmas present. You should have a $500 credit by now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Best to you and yours this holiday season.
I love your videos. So detail. I wonder if you can do a video on how to make Embossing one. It's were if you use fondant it make the design show detail come out instead of in.
Where did the dot over the i in Birthday go?? Could you just have it touch the r to cut it too? I am about to do my own wedding cake topper and this was super helpful.
I came to see what settings are used for the glowforge to cut different acrylics! 😭 would you be able to share a video of what settings you use? Love your content!
Any recommendations on the acrylic. I know you mentioned the type but where do you buy from. Amazon doesn’t have too many options. Links would be great
Hello Troy, i currently have an older version of Corel Draw (CorelDraw 12) and i'm trying to sharpen the tip of the cake topper to no avail. The end doesn't come out sharper rather in comes out ovalish in someway could you kindly help, please.
I would use the combine tool and virtual erase tool. Maybe put a triangle upside down and combine them and if it is a line in between erase it. Hope this helps.
Troy--great stuff as always. Question: What settings do you use for 1/8 acrylic? Do you mask the acrylic? I've made a few of acrylic projects and the cuts always come out bubbled and scored around the edges. Thank you for your great channel!
Are you using cast acrylic or extruded acrylic? I didn't realize there was a difference and bought some less expensive extruded acrylic at Home Depot. It didn't work very well - kind of melted where the cuts were.
Hey Troy, Cluing in from Canada... What can you list the equipment other than glow forge that you use to make the cake toppers. The laser cutter, printer and so forth to actually get the topper cut out. Thanks.
Yes, I blend it with the bottom part to make it stronger so it will not break. I have glued a small piece of clear acrylic in between the top and bottom part of an i but that was a headache and the customer wanted it separated and paid extra.
I’m having the hardest time with this. I just purchased Corel Draw 2022 and I’m struggling. I’ve started this project over about 5 times now. I’m currently at the step when you said we need to break apart the design after you until it. My break apart isn’t high lighted. Please help me if you can.
I buy from Glowforge and locally, but the mirrored acrylic came from www.inventables.com/categories/materials/acrylic?utf8=%E2%9C%93&selected_filters%5BEffect%5D%5B%5D=Metallic

What are the glow forge settings for the toppers? Do you use a masking on the acrylic?
160 speed full power and yes I use masking tape.
Can I ask , do you add an additional masking to the acrylic that comes already masked? I so, what masking do you use?
I just subbed.. your videos are awesome !
Thanks a Million!
What machine?
Hi Troy, do you use CorelDraw 2020 for Mac or PC (I’m wondering if there is a difference)?
I use for Mac, but I did use coreldraw on PC. No real difference but I like how it looks on Mac. I'm also a APPLE fanboy 🤦🏾♂️
Troy--great stuff as always. Question: What settings do you use for 1/8 acrylic? Do you mask the acrylic? I've made a few of acrylic projects and the cuts always come out bubbled and scored around the edges. Thank you for your great channel!
Yes, please answer this one, because I’m having the same issue.

@@MakingwithMarilyn I'm using acrylic purchased from Inventables--the same item used by Troy in his vids.
@@gresev2588 I looked on their website after seeing Troy's video. They have beautiful stuff! I hope someone is able to help you.
Thanks a Million! I do use masking paper and the settings I use for 1/8" mirror gold acrylic is 160 speed, Full power.

Hi, what kind of cutting machine have you used for cutting the toppers. Tia
It’s s called a Glowforge. My Referral Code: glowforge.us/f/QWABAKFC
Hey Troy,
Cluing in from Canada...
What can you list the equipment other than glow forge that you use to make the cake toppers.
The laser cutter, printer and so forth to actually get the topper cut out.
Thanks.
I designed the cake topper in coreldraw myself.
Is there a way to attach the dot in the “i”?
Yes, I blend it with the bottom part to make it stronger so it will not break. I have glued a small piece of clear acrylic in between the top and bottom part of an i but that was a headache and the customer wanted it separated and paid extra.
Hey Troy! Great video, how long would you say it took for the glowforge to cut 1 cake topper?
Depends on the size but that one was a couple of minutes.
@@TroytheMaker Thank you
Hi do you think the glowforge can make acrylic popsicle sticks? Even some with stamped out writing on them?
Hey. Yeah I’m pretty sure. That’s a good idea. ✍🏾
Did you spray paint the acrylic or is it bought like that? If so where do you get your acrylic?
It is already like that. Mirror gold acrylic 1/8” thick.
I’m having the hardest time with this. I just purchased Corel Draw 2022 and I’m struggling. I’ve started this project over about 5 times now. I’m currently at the step when you said we need to break apart the design after you until it. My break apart isn’t high lighted. Please help me if you can.
Hey. At what time in the video are you at?
I have a glowforge what software are you using?
I just purchased a Glowforge. What program do you use to make your creations?
Thanks a Million! I appreciate it more than you think! I like coreldraw but you can go with adobe illustrator. Also inkscape is really good and free.

What is the brand mirror acrylic that you use?
It came from www.inventables.com/technologies/gold-mirrored-acrylic-sheet (not sponsored).
How did you get it to text the letters and not the picture's
It all done in the graphic software.
Awesome work! Question... Where are you finding the various types of acrylic sheets?

No it’s acrylic. The machine is called a Glowforge.
Thank you for this video, it seems easy but it’s not, you have to master the coral draw to be capable, I wish I can,
I plan on making a video using only glowforge interface premium subscription very soon.
