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