What are you favourite cake tools or accessories? I have a mish mash of cheap stuff and want to treat myself to some better tools in the hope that it will improve my technique. 

My latest purchase was an extruder. No more trying and failing to roll even ropes of fondant. 

Would a fondant mat be a good buy? What else would you recommend?

i'm not gonna be any help -- i love allll of my stuff -- every little bit of it --

oh for sure fondant mat -- some cool rolling pins -- a pedestal turntable -- 

and trust me on this -- keep everything -- you will live to regret cleaning house on your stuff --

best of the cake toys to you always
