Once upon a time, I know that I read an article, or maybe something posted in the forum that spoke of a tool that you can purchase that will help folks like me to make the corners on a square cake... it's some kind of tool that you can smooth the buttercream on the corners and for the life of me I can't find that article... much less the tool anywhere...

I've struggled with the square edges for so many years.... Can someone help me?

Thank you,
Jan

I think I remember that thread. Isn't it about the tool that's specially designed for square corners adn sold on a website? It's not a bench scraper or anything like that, right?

Not sure what tool you are referring to.
Have you watched Sharon's (Sugarshack) video on buttercream? She takes you step by step to do a square cake. Really great.

Yes, tiggy. icon_biggrin.gif That's what I was thinking of. Definitely not for BC though. icon_redface.gif

If your BC is crusted well you might be able to use it on top of a viva paper towel. I use a fondant smoother that way with a light touch.

tiggy2.... YOU are my hero!!!

I've been in this business for more years than I even want to think about, and I have never been able to achieve the quality of edges on the square cakes that I would like... I've watched all the videos... I've read all the "help" books... I guess my brain is not extending to my hands very well icon_smile.gif

Thank you so very much!! Thanks to everyone!!!
