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.

BRUSHES - you'll need them to dust, paint and apply glue.
It's good to have many brushes various sizes and shapes (round, flat), but in the beginning you can just get a few. I use the 'worst' (hard/most damaged) brushes for glue; the soft ones for dusting and the ones with fine, not damaged tips for precise painting.
