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.
BALL TOOL & BONE TOOL - You can use them to make round indentations. It's good to have a few different sizes. For example:
  • 4 mm (or similar size)
  • 7 mm (or similar size)
  • 10 mm (or similar size)

If you don't have the proper size ball tool, use a smaller one and enlarge the indentation by making circular moves with the tool inside the indentation.
