Give your cake a super smooth finish with the smooth decorating scraper. Holding the scraper in your dominant hand, run the edge along the sides of the cake while rotating the turntable in the opposite direction to blend away any imperfections. This easy-to-grip scraper is also an essential tool for applying an initial crumb coat to seal in any crumbs before applying the final coat of icing.

Or if you prefer a more textured finish, use the textured cake scraper, with four different combed edges to add different patterns and intricate designs. Both scrapers are dishwasher-safe.

With 14 different sized stainless-steel nozzles and 10 reusable piping bags, use the piping set to give your cakes and bakes a truly professional finish.

Simply choose your nozzle, fill your piping bag with buttercream, cream or meringue and create decorative swirls and roses, ruffles, stars, and drip effects with ease, or handwrite celebratory messages. It’s also a useful tool for filling or covering your cakes, and even piping out choux pastry shapes.

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.

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.

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.

With the right tools, you can produce truly impressive results. Decorated with raspberry buttercream, chocolate brushstrokes and a freeze-dried raspberry crumb, this stunning lemon celebration cake is a real showstopper that showcases a range of different decorating techniques.
