My oldest decided that he wants a Harry Potter birthday and he wants stacked books for the cake, including "The Monster Book of Monsters." icon_eek.gif
I need to know which tool is best for book pages.
Thanks.

I have both and have used both with mixed results. Your icing consistency is very important if you want it to look nice and smooth. Practice with a little icing on the side of a pan or something first, just to get the hang of it.

What's a good consistency? I would think it can't be too stiff am I right?

I have never been able to use the comb thing...I think because my icing crusts too fast.....I plan on trying it out on a non-crusting at some point...

I would recommend using the fine teeth of a triangle. I like the results. Just ice cake as you normally would and then quickly, run the comb over the surface.

I use a crusting buttercream, and like the results the comb gives IF you work quickly after the icing is applied, before it has a chance to set!
