To help all those starting out, I’ve put together a list of basic equipment. The tools shown on this page are the ones I use most often.
Each cake decorator ends up with their own methods and set of tools. There is no right or wrong, just what works for you. The more figures you make, the more aware you will be what kind of equipment you need.

SMALL ROLLING PIN - It's easier to roll out the paste very thin with a small rolling pin. So if you have a large one only, consider getting a small one as well. You can also use it to thin out and to frill the edges (f.ex. leaves).
SPACERS - They help to roll out the paste to the thickness you need. You can buy spacers which you put on the rolling pin or you can use wooden lollipop sticks. You'll find more information about spacers here.
