Not every single tool you’ll need to decorate cakes with will be some super sparkly, expensive, baking specific gadget of wonder. Sometimes all you need is something as humble as a toothpick, a disposable cup or a teaspoon. In fact, as you and your cake decorating progresses you’ll probably find that you’ve gathered an insane collection of items in your tool kit! Some essential items we have in our bakery drawers and cupboards include pizza cutters, zip lock bags, double sided sticky tape, paper plates, make up brushes, dressmakers pins etc.
In this weeks CAKE101 cake decorating / baking tip we recommend one of the everyday items we use the most… wooden toothpicks and kebab skewers!
“Invest in lots of toothpicks and kebab skewers. Little things like these end up being incredibly useful for adding colour to frosting and icing, scribing patterns, adding structure to fondant characters or holding flowers in place!”
EXTRA TIP: To stop your sticks from splintering if you need to cut them up soak them in water beforehand.
