"So the basic tools for a cake decorating are, umm especially if you're gonna use sponge
dough of course we need a spin table, and you can use a rolling pin.. umm You can use
a rolling pin of any kind. It doesn't really matter. This is a combination of sponge dough
and confectionary sugar. Basically we use it on the table so that when you're rolling
your sponge dough it doesn't stick to the table. This is a smoother and what it does
is, once you've applied your sponge dough to your cake you want to use this to smooth
it out. It also gets out the air bubbles if there are any and giver your cake a nice smooth
finish.So we'll see how to use it later. And this is a tool that i love using. You can
use any pizza roller but i like this one cos it has siix rollers on it so its great for
making ribbons and bows and for cutting mouthable stripes a set of one at a time.So this a great
tool. You need a knife thats just for cutting your cake even and for evening your cake out.
I like to use a pen knife mmm cos it has a really nice sharp edge and gives you a nice
clean cut. If you dont have one of these, you can get it from any craft store or baker
suppliers store. these are just the cup holer tubes that you can get from any cake decorating
store. It just helps you to make indentations in your sponge dough and this one has some
lines in it. If you wanna make some lines on your cake you can use this. There are lots
of these and they
have different purposes. So you can use it for just to buy anything. And then most people
make a glue for their sponge dough i find that water with a paint brush works just as
fine just a little bit on the sponge dough and that'll help you to stick your decorations.
Or you can use just a little bit of icing.So these ar most of the general basic tools you
need for decorating."
