Must-Have Cake Tools
Having the proper cake tools can make all the difference when it comes to baking and decorating cakes. The right equipment allows you to efficiently and consistently measure, mix, prepare, bake, frost, and decorate cakes. While you can certainly bake a cake with basic kitchen tools, investing in some specialty cake items will make the process much easier and more enjoyable!
Here are some of my top cake tool recommendations: a stand mixer for making smooth batters and frostings, cake pans with removable bottoms, a rotating cake stand, offset spatulas for spreading icing smoothly, and piping bags and tips for cake decorating. The proper tools enable you to achieve even baking, frost cakes smoothly, pipe designs, and ultimately, make bakery-worthy cakes in your own kitchen.
