    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! :)

      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.

    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.

    • @TroytheMaker

      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.

    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.

    Why do you laser cut the acrylic sheet with the paper attached to it? Can't you do it without it?

    • @TroytheMaker

      Yeah you can but without the paper the cutting will leave residue.

    I wish I could everything needed to make acrylic toppers here in Zambia. Anyone feel like giving away their stuff? Anyone?
