Smoothers and smoothing tools
Fondant smoothers, edge smoothers, and smoothing tools for cakes with sharp edges and perfect surfaces.
Smoothing fondant and cream
The fondant smoother (often in pairs) removes creases and creates sharp edges. The edge smoother and angled spatula even out buttercream for a clean finish. Two smoothers work the top and side at the same time.
Finishing techniques
For a professional finish: rotate the cake on a turntable, smooth the firm cream (a hot smoothing for buttercream melts the marks), then define the top edge. For fondant, smooth from top to bottom, folding down creases.
