Hello all! I'm sort of new to CC and I absolutely love it
I got my first cake request and am going to use buttercream icing. I want to get the buttercream super duper smooth. I use the method with the Hi Density Foam roller which works very well but my buttercream isn't really "even".
My question is can I use the Wilton Baker's Blade or Cake lifter as a bench scraper? I have several michael's coupon I need to use by saturday and figured I could get two tools in one.
TIA!
The baker's blade should work great, it's basically a bench scraper. I have the cake lifter also and can't see why it wouldn't work aside from it's large size maybe being alittle harder to manage...
i use the wilton dough cutter its like a tougher rubber and it works great! and i have also used the bakers blade it it works also!!! hope you find something!
I just bought a bench scraper sunday at a kitchen store where they also had the wilton bakers blade and the two are almost identical. They are both six inches wide and same thickness also. I only bought the scraper because it was a little cheaper and I liked the handle better, but if you have coupon definately get the wilton blade.
I love my Wilton Baker's Blades. I bought two of them right away. The weight is nice and heavy, the blade is sharp, and the handle is easy to hold. The only drawback is that they have the plastic on the ends.

Yep, you need to find something without plastic ends, or handles which don't allow the blade to sit perfectly square to your cake. I used drywall knives,palette knives, putty whatsamajiggies for awhile, and started wondering why it wasn't working quite so right....got a bench scraper, a REAL bench scraper, with no handle, and I've been golden ever since.
It's like $4 at Bed Bath and Beyond...called Progressive Bash and Chop.
