At the same time, it\u2019s the icing and edible decorations that make it too beautiful to be eaten. Now, when you have mastered the art of baking moist, fudgy cakes, it\u2019s time to give wings to your creativity by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floweraura.com\/blog\/best-ways-to-decorate-cake-without-icing\">decorating your cakes<\/a>. <\/p>\n<div style=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/floweraura-blog-img.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/Cupcake+Settle\/cover.jpg\" alt=\"Cake Tools\" title=\"Cake Tools\" style=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>For embellishing your cake, you would need cake decorating items. We have listed for you the important ones.  <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">1.\tPiping Bags<\/h2>\n<p>Piping bag, also known by the name of a pastry bag is a cone or triangular shaped bag of cloth, paper, or plastic material. Semi-solid foods like frosting and icing cream, melted chocolate are poured into the bag and are gently pressed to make them pass through the narrow opening at one end. It is used for cake frosting and icing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">2.\tCake Toppers<\/h2>\n<p>A cake topper is a mould that sits on top of the cake. Cake toppers come in varying designs&#8211; acrylic cake toppers, personalised cake toppers, bunting cake toppers, and edible cake toppers. Edible cake toppers are sugar lollipops, candy balloons, marshmallows, fruits, candies and chocolates, and edible flowers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blog-all-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/floweraura-blog-img.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/Cupcake+Settle\/cake-topper.jpg\" alt=\"Cake Toppers\" title=\"Cake Toppers\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">3.\tPiping Gel<\/h2>\n<p>Piping gel adds to the cake a shiny finish, and from glueing fondant figurines to transferring images to cakes to preventing whipped cream from liquefying, the piping gel is a vital cake decorating item.  <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">4.\tFood Colours and Sprays<\/h2>\n<p>For that particular shade or tint, one needs food colours and sprays. Food colours and sprays are edible and come in every colour you could think of. Gel food colours, metallic colour sprays, edible glitters are some of the available varieties.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blog-all-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/floweraura-blog-img.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/Cupcake+Settle\/food-colour-and-spray.jpg\" alt=\"Food Colours and Sprays\" title=\"Food Colours and Sprays\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">5.\tCake Sprinkles and Confetti<\/h2>\n<p>Toss some confetti in the cake and celebrate! Decorating cakes with sprinkles and confetti is one sure way to please everyone\u2019s taste buds and hearts. Sprinklers and confetti come in varying forms like snowflakes sprinkles, unicorn confetti, silver balls, romantic heart sprinkle mix, etc.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blog-all-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/floweraura-blog-img.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/Cupcake+Settle\/cake-sprinklers.jpg\" alt=\"Cake Sprinkles and Confetti\" title=\"Cake Sprinkles and Confetti\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">6.\tSugar\/Fondant\/\/Icing sheet<\/h2>\n<p>Another alternative to buttercream cake is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floweraura.com\/cakes\/themed\">fondant cake<\/a>. The cake base is covered in a fondant that is further decorated either with fondant figurines or other cake decorations. Photo cakes are made edible by using sugar sheets or icing sheets. You can also make fondant at home with sugar, water, gelatin, vegetable fat and glycerol.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>A checklist of cake tools for decoration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">1)\tCake Nozzles<\/h2>\n<p>Cake nozzles are fitted at one end of the piping bag to decorate cakes with different frosting designs. Nozzles with different openings are put into use to make different patterns. Like a closed star nozzle is used for creating shell-like patterns, a rose nozzle is for roses and stacked ruffles, etc.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blog-all-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/floweraura-blog-img.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/Cupcake+Settle\/cake-nozzle.jpg\" alt=\"Cake Nozzles\" title=\"Cake Nozzles\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">2)\tFondant Rollers and Smoothers<\/h2>\n<p>For decorating a fondant cake, these two are of utmost importance. Fondant rollers are for rolling the fondants either to cover the cake or to make figurines out of it. Fondant smoother is for releasing the air bubbles trapped under the fondant, thus giving it an impeccable smooth finish.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">3)\tIcing Spatula and Bench Scraper<\/h2>\n<p>If you do not wish to struggle for a clean buttercream coat, invest in icing spatula and bench scraper. Spread the icing with the spatula, smoothen in with the scraper.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blog-all-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/floweraura-blog-img.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/Cupcake+Settle\/icing-spatula.jpg\" alt=\"Icing Spatula and Bench Scraper\" title=\"Icing Spatula and Bench Scraper\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">4)\tKnife and Modelling Tools<\/h2>\n<p>Paring knife helps slice edible decorations such as fruits and chocolates. Levellers are for slicing even cake layers. Other kinds of sharp knives and blades are useful for precise lines, detailings. Modelling tools are required when working with fondants.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">5)\tCake Tins, Turntables and Boards<\/h2>\n<p>One of the essential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floweraura.com\/blog\/10-best-cake-decorating-tools-for-beginners\">cake making tools<\/a> is cake tins, then comes turntables and cake boards.
