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.
SCALPEL - use it to make precise cuts. Make sure that the blade is dry and clean before cutting (if it's not , it will pull the paste and you won't get a clean cut). 

If you need to make longer straight cuts use a SMALL KITCHEN KNIFE or a CHEF'S KNIFE. Choose the ones with thin blades (they are more precise).
