For you experienced cake people, what would you say are the must have tools for baking/decorating?
I started with the following: round, square baking pans in different sizes, disposable decorating bags, basic paste colors, a chip swivel plate and tips #1,2,4,5,12,14,17,21,32.
Cake Movers,
My mother just this last year got me the Pampered Chef, I call them Cake Movers, they are hard plastic 1/2 moons, 2 of them, I use them to pick up my cakes and move them to their boards or on top of another, It sets the cakes on top of others without breaking them and little or no icing sticking to them when moving them from between layers. Don't know how I got along without them. Heather
Icer tip, disposable bags, large angled spatula, large flat spatula; double's of all your round pans; lots of cooling racks of various sizes; clear contact paper; good cake boards...and my all time favorite...drum roll please......<TADA> "The Cake Mix Doctor" book
I need to get that book so I can get the brides white cake recipe....Our wal marts here are out of stock on them....
Good luck on your cake..

Yes, they actually do look like the plastic strainer thingies, there are 2 of them , solid and with small handles. Work great.

Here's a link to the lift and serve. I got them too for fondant but the definitely come in handy for moving the cake with good support.

The comb can be used around the sides of a cake or even on top to make a wavy pattern. It also used to make pages on the book cake! Here is an example:http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&meta=allby&member_id=492&cat=0&pos=3
My favorite tool/toy is my Easy Icer "pump action icing gun"! I can do my piping and decorating without hurting my arthritic hand! Janice
I love my tall cake turntable that I made (no more backaches) and the spackling knife for smoothing my cakes.
Couldn't do without them
This is the kit I came up with that comes with my first class:
2 couplers, 1 disposable bag, 1 pastry bag, 1 parchment triangle, 1 clown head, angled spatula, flower nail #7 and tips: 3, 12, 16, 21, 47, 67, 104, and 2D.
The clown head is for figures, otherwise, I find them kind of freaky looking.
