Cake Decorating & Assembly

Everything after the bake. These are the tools for filling, stacking, smoothing, and finishing a cake.

Spatulas run from 4 to 12 inches in offset, straight, tapered, cookie, and jumbo profiles. Offset blades keep your hand clear of the surface for smoothing sides and tops. Straight blades suit filling between layers and lifting. Cake turntables come in 3 and 5 inch heights, so you can choose a low profile for tall tiers or a raised platform for working at eye level. Disposable pastry bags come in 12, 18, and 21 inch lengths in packs of 20 and 100. The dough and icing leveler set gives consistent thickness on rolled fondant and even icing depth on a stacked cake.

For a first decorating kit, most bakers start with a 5 inch turntable, an 8 inch offset spatula, a 10 inch straight spatula, and 12 inch pastry bags.
