Baking With Bitty

Tools For Decorating

Tools for Cake Decorating:


1. Pastry Bag. If you need a quick makeshift pastry bag use a gallon sized plastic bag.
Pour icing into the bag and cut a small hole at one of the bottom corners.
2. Food Coloring, best to get a multipack to make different color creations.
3. Cake Leveler to make different layered cakes and cookies.
4. Pastry Bag Tips, it is best to get these in a whole set, rather than individually.
5. Cake Stand, to display the cake!
