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.
METAL CUTTERS - in the beginning buy just basic shapes. I find the round ones and square ones most useful.

PIPING NOZZLES - I use them to cut out small circles (f.ex. pupils and irises).
