Hoe gebruik je de Kenwood decoratieset
Of je nu een beginner bent in taartdecoratie of een ervaren bakker die geavanceerdere technieken onder de knie wil krijgen, de juiste tools zijn essentieel om een echte wow-factor te creëren.
Met een roterende taartstandaard van roestvrij staal, decoratieschrapers, een spuitset, een biscuitzaag, twee paletmessen en een siliconen spatel, bevat de Kenwood decoratieset alle hoogwaardige tools die je nodig hebt om je taarten te egaliseren, decoreren en perfectioneren.
Decoratieschrapers
Geef je taart een perfect gladde afwerking met de gladde decoratieschraper. Houd de schraper in je dominante hand en laat de rand langs de zijkanten van de taart glijden terwijl je de draaiplateau in de tegenovergestelde richting beweegt om oneffenheden te egaliseren. Deze makkelijk hanteerbare schraper is ook onmisbaar voor het aanbrengen van een eerste kruimellaag, die voorkomt dat kruimels zich vermengen met de uiteindelijke laag glazuur.
Wil je liever een textuur in je afwerking? Gebruik dan de getextureerde decoratieschraper, die vier verschillende gekamde randen heeft om diverse patronen en gedetailleerde designs te creëren. Beide schrapers zijn vaatwasmachinebestendig.

Palette knives and spatulas
A good set of multi-purpose icing spatulas and palette knives is a must-have for any cake decorator. This set includes two premium stainless steel palette knives and one stainless steel and silicon spatula.
The 20cm straight palette knife is ideal for spreading, filling and smoothing the sides of cakes, while with its offset handle, the 20cm angled palette knife allows you to ice cake tops without smudging the icing with your hand, as well as carefully lift slices of cake when serving. Palette knives can also be used to create different decorative effects and textures, including swipes, brushstrokes and scallops.
Finally, there’s the heat-resistant silicone spatula with stainless steel handle. The flexible silicone head is perfect for folding, mixing, spreading and scraping bowls. All three tools are dishwasher-safe.

Sponge cake cutter
If you often find your cakes come out of the oven with a domed top, or you need to split layers, this sponge cake cutter is an invaluable tool. With an adjustable 28cm cutter wire and soft grip handle, use it to level your cake layers, creating an even surface ready for stacking and icing. Just be sure to let your cakes cool completely before levelling, otherwise they may break up.
Rotating cake stand
Once you’ve used a rotating cake stand, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it- it really is a gamechanger that makes cake decorating so much easier. Gently spin this 28cm diameter stainless steel cake stand 360° as you smooth icing, fill imperfections, pipe and decorate, with the cake sitting at the perfect height to make it comfortable to work.
