Are you a cake decorator? These tools are the top cake decorating tools for 2018.

These tools will literally transform your cake decorating and are must-haves for anyone looking to grow their cake decorating business, start a cake decorating business, or transition from hobbyists to full-fledged decorators.

My Top 5 Tools:

  1. Marvelous Molds

Marvelous Molds are a game changer for adding 3-D designs onto a cake. They are made of silicone and easily allow fondant or gum paste designs to be transferred onto a cake. It is so easy to use, that you will want all of the different designs. Try the easy to use marvelous letter molds also.  You will fall in love with how easy they are to use. These molds are addicting, you can’t have just one!

2. Kitchenaid Mixer

This Kitchenaid Mixer is a 5 -quart Tilt Head Mixer. These mixers are super reliable and dependable. Don’t believe me, check out the over 8,000 customer reviews.  I purchased my stand mixer almost two years ago to the date of this post, and I have used it consistently since. I loved them so much that I actually purchased a second! Yes, I now have two!!

3. Flex Edge Beater

There was a time that I knew nothing about the flex edge beater and imagined a better way to clean my paddle attachment with a spatula. Then I discovered the flex edge beater. This is another of the best-kept secrets of top bakers and cake decorators because it scrapes the sides as it mixes, reducing the need to stop the mixer so often to scrape the bottom and sides. If you choose to order this, be sure to match the model number with the model number of the mixer that you have. 



4. Pasta Roller

For the die-hard cake decorators, you know how important it is to maintain consistency in rolling fondant. This tool will become one of your most used tools for rolling fondant and gum paste. This pasta roller is like a mini-sheeter, it has manual settings that can be changed to set the thickness of the fondant. I usually roll it through twice for good measure and measure and cut as needed.

5. Cake Airbrush System

Airbrush kits are perfect for adding depth and dimension to cakes, as well as an even color distribution. There are so many cute cake stencils that can be used with the airbrush to give your cakes a new color, styles, and flair!

I hope that this list was informative and helpful. 2018 is all about working smarter not harder. Using these tools will certainly make your life easier, and leave more time for your loved ones. Thanks for reading!
