Cake Decorating Supplies

As most hobbies go you can really spend a lot on different cake decorating supplies. We talked about the basic cake decorating tools you will need to decorate cakes. These are the most important. Here are a few added things to ease your decorating experience and where to buy cake supplies online.

Cake Turntable

If you have a turntable for your cakes it makes it easier to decorate around your cake especially when you are doing a border or a continuous design on all sides of your cake.

I have one and it has made a big difference. It also makes it easier to frost the sides of your cake.

Mixer

My favorite kitchen appliance,
KitchenAid

You need a good mixer especially if you are going to be making a lot of cakes. I recommend a good heavy duty mixer.

My favorite mixer of all time is a Kitchen Aid. It is worth every penny I spent! I haven't met a person with a Kitchen Aid yet that didn't love it.

Tool Box Kit

Cake Decorating Tool Caddy

It may seem silly to buy a tool box for cake decorating but this will keep all your pastry tips, bags and spatulas in one carry all. I like that it holds icing colors and bottles of flavorings and I don't lose anything.

Variety of Cake Pans

You will need several sizes of pans I reccommend having:

2 basic round 8 or 9 inch pans
9 inch square
13x9 pan
heart cake pan but you can get buy shaping a heart out of a circle and a square cake pan.

These will be the basic sizes once you have these you can add on more such as:

several smaller circles about 4 inches and 6 inches-makes fun tier cakes to go with your 9 inch circle or mini cakes.
Large circle pan-often times you can buy a set with an 8, 10, 12 & 14 in. pans
Mini loaf pans- great for making legs or arms if you are shaping your cake. Also fun for mini cake sizes.
Ball Cake Pans.- There are a variety of things you can do with this type of cake pan besides making balls.
Character cake pans. There are many shapes, sizes and themes to pick from. Pick with the idea of how much use you will get out of it. If you aren't a professional cake decorator some people buy speciality cake pans and then sell them when they are done. This is a cheap way to collect these pans.
