I haven't used them but took a class with Nicholas Lodge and he uses them. He says they really save time so I'd buy them!

I ordered them recently but haven't tried them yet...

Look like they would be good for the larger sized dragees, but maybe a bit cumbersome for the smaller ones, unless you were dropping them into place...

i picked up a pair of angled head tweezers for placing dragees from fancyflours.com

Well I think im going to order them, and some angled tweezers, then hopefully im set , I'll let you guys know what i think when i get a chance to use them. Thanks!

I have a pair. I love them. They have a littlt indentation for the pearl to set in and the rubberized tip is great so that the sugar pearls do not slip. I use them all the time.

I'm excited to get them now, thanks for letting me know theyre worth ordering

Just a heads up, if you've not ordered from Golda's before, and you live in Canada.
Golda's shipping charges are very expensive for Canada. They charge more for Canadian orders than they do for American orders, and, Golda's is located in Canada.
Be sure to check how much your shipping charge is before confirming your order, as it could be triple or more than the cost of the item/items.

If you live near the store, then no worries as you can go pick your order up.
I ordered a tiny cutter ($4) that would have weighed next to nothing from Golda's once, but cancelled when I saw they wanted $11.96 to ship it to British Columbia. That was the end of my dealings with Golda's. They are way too dear for my pocketbook.

There are a few like these on ebay if you search rubber tip tweezers, some are cheaper, like alot of things the price goes up when they add to the cake decorating section

I just spent 9+ hours holding those exact tongs this weekend! Let me tell you, if I didn't have those I have no idea how in the world I would have put all the dragees onto the cake I was doing. Definitely worth the $6 that I paid for them!!!

Oh I need these too! I have regular angled tweezers and you don't know how many dragees go shooting across the room when I try to pick those slippery buggers up!! The rubber end is where it's at I'm sure! That makes so much sense so they don't slip! Duh!

Here they are if you live in America.

I havent placed my order just yet, but i will be this weekend, I saw how much their shipping is too! But some of the things I need I can only find from them in Canada,but it is a large order I'm making so my shipping will be $15 for about $120 order, I guess I have to suck it up and pay the shipping to avoid the brokerage and duty I'd get from ordering in the US, I did just get my order from Vanilla Food Company,they have $7 flat rate shipping to Canada and $9.95 flat rate to US, customer service was awesome too. I checked out icing inspirations, bc they have free shipping on tuesdays on orders over $75, but they dont quite have everything i need I cant wait to get those tweezers, I'll have to find an excuse to try them lol

I like the looks of them. I think they could be used for other things as well.

Just on a side note....for those of you who are thinking of ordering from the Canadian website........... Canada Post is in the midst of a possible strike starting Tuesday midnight and all delivery may be stopped. If you need the tweezer soon, I would suggest checking into the delivery time anticipated.

I just learned a trick the other day at work. I was putting sugar pearls on a cake but wanted them to go in certain areas. My boss says, "wanna learn a trick?!" She grabs a wooden skewer, dips just the tip into the buttercream, and then picks up a pearl with the sticky frosting. Sits the pearl on the cake and goes back for more.

My mind exploded when I saw her do that. It's my new favorite trick.

I get what you mean. I'll be trying this out next time I have a heap of peals to deal with, thanks for the tip!
