Decorating Tools

Quintbelles has been baking and cake decorating for about 15 years. If Malcolm Gladwell is correct, we are about to hit the big time soon. Calculating the total amount of time we've clocked in cake decorating, we have about 8,000 hours each! That's a lot of time in the kitchen, right? But we have to continue to learn new things!

Here are some things we'd like to share regarding Equipment and Tools we use:

Xacto blades are awesome.

For the longest time, we've been using disposable large cutter blades-- but xacto blades can make more intricate cuts and shape! Perfect for making chinese characters too!

Dry pastry brushes makes you feel like paleontologists excavating fossils but they're really perfect to brush away excess powdered sugar in the cake.

Wet pastry brushes are great for everything else-- painting on the cake and gluing pieces of sugar decos.

Not all cake deco tools are needed. Craft tools are great too! But make sure that to use them solely for cake decorating.

What tools can't you do without? Leave a comment! :)
