* Couplers – this are put at the tips of the piping bags and held in place by coupling nozzles. This will give you to choose different tips you needed in decorating your cake.
* Rubber spatulas – This is used to scrape cake and frosting bowls. It is flexible to totally utilize its used.
* Metal Spatulas – You should have the large and small angled one. These metal spatulas are used to spread the frosting to your cake. For thin layer of frosting the small angled metal spatula would be needed. Now you can spread on a normal layer of frosting because crumbling of the cake is prevented.
* Food coloring – It should be a paste, gel, or powder that is much concentrated than the liquid food coloring and it won’t cause to thin the icing.
Put your ingredients at room temperature for easy mixing. It’s better you had an electric bitter, to remove all possible lumps. Don’t start decorating if your cake is still warm. You may cool your cakes by inverting it into a wire rack. Don’t forget this otherwise the outcome decoration is not that what you want.
Remember that the bottom of the cake is much smoother and best to use as the top of the cake, decorate it with icing. Since you want to save money it is better to use large piece of stiff cardboard. To prevent it from smearing, you may put cut up strips of waxes paper under the cake. You can use colored foils to make it more impressive cake board. After you’ve done decorating pull gently the cut up strips.
