Ok, here's a square dummy with the two edgers I used last night (click to see a larger image of this pic):
The edger to the left is the SIDE edger, which smoothes the side (and the bottom when using a fondant covered board).
The edger to the right is the SHARP TOP edger (which makes the sharp corners and edges).
Hopes this helps. |

Yep. that's who gave me Valerie's contact info. I think they got such an overwhelming response from so many CC'er's that they decided to place their order sooner rather than later...LOL That's great! I think their prices are decent given what it cost to ship items overseas. |

I got the rounded one I wish I had seen those. May have to get even though at this moment I haven't done any cakes in several months. Yes months. Oh well. Family comes first. Now my next cake is for my youngest son's wedding in July I may need them then, we'll see. |

Thanks Gingerela, that's a great picture! I definitely want one of the edgers you ordered from Valerie and then I'll order another from  GlobalSugarArt.com when they get some in. I always need more than one of everything because I seem to misplace tools just at the moment I need them!!! Please pm me with all the purchasing details!! |

Hi,
Just received a reply from Alan at Global Sugar Art and he stated that he expects to have the "Sharp Top" edger back in stock in 2-3 weeks. Just thought I'd pass this info on.  |

K I have a suggestion here guys. You can get tools like these in the states for lot's less at the hardware store in the drywall section. Here are some pics of the tools themselves. And what's better? The top one is like 10 bucks and the bottom is like 8. |

chaptlps, this is the tool I used! Do you use these? If so, how do you avoid the metal cutting into your buttercream? Also, they are quite heavy compared to a plastic smoother. Please do share. I'm a sucker for a good bargain. |

O man hun, I haven't used em on bc but have used em on drywall. They just seem to be a far less expensive way to accomplish the objective. LOL
I will have to go n get some new ones (the ones I do have have drywall mud all over em. lol But I do like using the large 12" stainless paint edger for the tops (makes em nice n level) But like I said I'll have to go n get new corner tools so that I can use em on cakes instead of the wall. 
p.s. just let me say though that these would work great on those non crusting bc's and whipped icings out there. I learned how to smooth my frosting without it getting crusted. So that's where we differ I guess. Whipped icings are notorious for not being able to get nice edges n corners. But these tools would work good for that particular technique. |

Please do share the technique because I'd love to smooth a cake with IMBC which doesn't crust.
I've used these to tape corners with drywall mud and they are definitely awesome - very easy to use, but they didn't work on my cake. Take pics, if you can. I am sure I am not the only one dying to see!
Gotta love this place. |

Gingerela,
I'd be interested in having several of these edgers. The one that does the corner and the board, was that on GlobalSugarArt.com'a site? Did I miss a link to the place in London where you can get these? I'm trying to get my pool taken care of, pack for a trip AND keep up here. UGH!!! Thanks for all this info by the way.
