Kitchen Tools

Icing spatulas are sometimes called cake spatulas and are very important to properly decorate cakes as well as performing other tasks in the kitchen. I like to use mine to also collect freshly cut cookies from the countertop (before baking when they are fragile) or to prepare crepes on my crepe maker.

Flat icing spatulas are made in multiple sizes anywhere from 4” up to 14”. Most important is to have a 12” spatula because it is large enough to comfortably decorate a whole cake and also have one small 6” spatula that will be very convenient for any other applications.

You should purchase commercial versions since they last significantly longer than those made just for household use.
