items If you are starting your cake journey, this list is a great place to start! I have been baking professionally for 3 years now, and it he things on this list are my go-to items for all things cake decorating!
I have NEVER had one of these bags break! Perfect size to control piping details without constantly refilling
Prestee 100 Anti Burst 12" Piping Bags
This set of piping tips is perfect for beginners, it has every essential in it! (Be sure to check, as there are different ones. The one pictured above is the best option!)
12PCS Stainless Steel Piping Tips Set
Call me crazy, but I have always preferred an offaet spatula to a bench scraper to smooth my cakes. This one by Wilton is my favorite as it is long enough to do the sides of my 3 layer cakes and the top of my 12" easily
Wilton 13" Angled Frosting Spatula, Steel
A great turntable is ESSENTIAL when you are trying to get straight sides and smooth edges. Metal will always hold up better than plastic and I love how smooth this one rotates
Kootek 12" Aluminium Cake Stand & Turntable
Finished cakes need a safe board to transport. I can't tell you how many times I have purchased this set, as they have never had a single issue, even with 3 tier wedding cakes!
BOARDS+ 8, 10 & 12 Inch Cake Drums, 12 Pack
Simple, inexpensive, and such a time saver! Be sure your cakes are level and layers are the same thickness without really trying. I can't recommend this enough!
Wilton Adjustable Cake Leveler & Slicer
These little babies will stabilize your layers and support your tiers. I have used these to support up to 3 tier cakes with no issues.
Jumbo Straws
These are so underrated! I use these to scoop out my buttercream onto the cake and for mixing colors. They are stiff enough to hold their shape but flexible enough to scrape the sides of the bowl thoroughly. A must in my kitchen! (I think I have 6 of...
Silicone Spatulas
While I don’t use the bake strips, this set of pans is perfect. I bought 2 sets and have added a 3rd pan for those sizes I get lots of orders for, but having at least 2 of each size makes for a much easier/faster baking experience.
Bake-Even Strips and Round Cake Pan Set, 8-Piece - Wilton
If you are going to brave fondant, I always use this. It is easy to pull off sections and dye it to change color and the price is worth it if you buy in bulk. Keep it sealed between uses and it will last a long time! *Pro tip* When working with fonda...
Wilton Decorator Preferred White Vanilla-Flavored Fondant, 10 lb. Tub
I would consider this a must for anyone wishing to cover a cake with fondant. The rings on the ends are different thicknesses and will ensure your fondant is uniform which helps prevent rips and air pockets.
Wilton Fondant Roller with Guide Rings, Fondant Tools for Cake Decorating, 20-inch
A piping nail is a huge time saver for new pipers. It allows you to spin as you pipe your flower petals, and if you’re like me, you can place a small piece of parchment on your nail with buttercream or a drop of water, and freeze your flowers before ...
Flower Nail by Celebrate It
Stick with me on this one! I love this product for 2 reasons: 1. I can cut rounds out of it to keep my cake board from sliding on my turntable when decorating, and 2. I place it in the bottom of my cake boxes before delivery to keep the cake steady o...
Shelf Liners - DollarTree.com
I bought 2 of these about a year ago, and I love the storage options they give me. I keep my fondant tools in one basket, piping tips I plan to use on a small tray, spatulas for icing in one basket, scissors hanging on a hook to cut piping bags, etc.
