My Top Cake Decorating Tools

Stop collecting and get decorating! The best gear for making beautiful cakes.

Overwhelmed by the cake decorating aisle? Wondering if you need dozens of piping tips, various spatulas, or specialty brushes? I’m going to let you in on a secret…

In my 15+ years of cake decorating, most cakes coming out of my kitchen are made with the same 5 tools. 

Top 5 Cake Tools

I, too, have a drawer full of one-use tools, every size spatula and palette knife available, a caddy of piping tips, baskets of sprinkles, edible glitter, etc. However, it’s these same 5 tools I grab nearly every time I settle in to make a beautiful cake. From my signature watercolor design to rosette-covered cakes, you will be surprised how many different cakes you can decorate without needing a shed full of supplies.
