Kaiser Bakeware Patisserie One Wire Layered Cake Cutter Review

Kaiser Bakeware Patisserie One Wire Layered Cake Cutter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I made two multi-layer cakes for two different dinner parties this week and received many compliments on the beauty of the cakes, especially the evenness of the layers. I explained to all that it was the result of this magnificent layer cake cutter with serrated wire. I decided today to send out a link to others to purchase it and Amazon seemed to be the best. I just read the reviews, however, and I am mystified at the range of responses. This cutter is absolutely perfect for me, so I can only conclude that those who have written poor reviews may not have used it as effectively as I have.
I will share with you my technique which works every time. Very simply, you must place your cake on a large flat surface to give you enough room to work the 15" cutter and use a gentle, slow sawing motion (back and forth)to cut the cake. Depending on the cake, it may take a moment or two to cut through the outer crust. Be patient. Once you cut through continue sawing gently through the cake. I have cut layers as thin as 1/4" - the easiest Dobos torte I have ever made! I have used this cutter to slice butter cakes, genoise cakes and tortes made with either bread crumbs or finely ground nuts, such as walnut, almond and hazelnut. I have not used it on chiffon cakes, flourless cakes nor bundt cakes, so I offer no opinion there.
If this wonderful cutter is not working for you it is probably not the cutter but rather ineffective technique in its use: 1)not using a gentle, slow sawing motion; 2) pushing the wire through the cake rather than sawing; 3) rushing the cutting; or 4) not having a wide flat surface upon which to work.

Ateco Plastic Coated Pastry Bags 3-pc. Review

I bought one of these bags 7 or 8 years ago, and I have used it exclusively for decorating cakes for that entire time. (I bought mine at Williams Sonoma for a lot more $$$) It is in awesome shape still! The grip is nice and allows you to control the bag much better than even the Wilton brand bags which are slippery. These also have a hole on the back for hanging to dry, hanging to fill, etc. I was very excited to see them available on Amazon.com. Happy decorating and filling!

For those who are familiarizing themselves with using a pastry bag, this set is the one you'll want to get you started. Affordably priced, these textured bags are quite durable and are lined with plastic. The outer part of the bags never becomes slippery, and they clean easily once you're finished with them. The 3 bags include a 10-in., 12-in., and 16-in, and work well for decorating and filling pastries or creating hors d'oeuvres.

Tilting Turntable Review

Tilting Turntable
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was looking for a tilting turntable for cake decorating. This will work fine for 8 inch or smaller cakes, which cake decorators rarely make, but I have doubts about larger cakes like 14 inch. A two layer 14 inch cake is pretty heavy. The seller tells the diameter in the description and there is a 20% restocking fee plus buyer pays return shipping so it's not really worth returning if you don't like it. So don't buy it if you are looking for something to do stringwork on a wedding cake. I just think it's too small. Since most cake decorating turntables are 12 inches, I just assumed this one was too. It is made of plastic as well but the photo looks like a heavy duty steel. Don't just look at the picture like I did. Read the description before you buy..

Here is a versatile decorating wheel that tilts and rotates. The quality is wonderful. It consists of two heavy plastic plates connected by two hinges. Loosen the locking handle on the side and you can tilt the tabletop as much as 30 degrees. There is a thumbscrew under the top plate that allows you to lock the turntable, if need be, so it doesn't rotate or you can let it rotate freely on a high quality ball bearing ring fixed beneath the top plate. This wheel is useful in all sorts of crafts as well as being used for cake decorating. It's heavy enough not to move around and the 7-3/4" diameter top surface is covered with a non-skid material that will grip the object placed on it even at the maximum angle. All components are very good quality and will give years and years of good service.

Kwik Icer Tube, Ateco Review

I'm a professional decorator, and I just switched jobs to a bakery that swears by the Kwik Icer. I was amazed at how much easier it is to frost a cake with it. I am getting one for use at home. It cuts frosting time down to minutes. I don't even need to crumb coat cakes with it!

Icing a cake has never been quicker! Giant 2" wide metal tube makes icing cupcakes or sides and top of full cakes a snap. Save time, motion and mess. Use with a large (18" or larger) decorating bag (not included). One side of tube is smooth the other ridged.

ran into walmart on the way home after I order this (Walmart is next door). THey sell the exact boards for $4.00 for 5. These are $11.00 for 6. I could get 10 of these at Walmart for LESS. And within the hour of the order on CHRISTMAS EVE...it's too late to cancel. THe other orders that are not so overpriced and will be delivered at the same time. WEDNESDAY 12/29 can still be canceled. Today is Friday. How can they not stop it now...but also can't get it to me until WEDNESDAY next week???

Okay, I love to bake and thought that these would be cute for cupcakes. Well, I was wrong. If you put these on top of the cupcake the icing sticks to the stencil (of course), but if you hold it away from the icing the sprinkles go everywhere. It just made a big mess.

I couldn't believe how poorly this performed. I bought several thinking it would make for a nice activity for kids to decorate cookies. Think again! When you push the plunger down, no matter how slowly, the icing works its way above the plunger. It's a mess and very frustrating. The fit is not tight enough to perform the basic function it is supposed to perform. I have used other syringe decorating tools. This one is just too cheaply made to work.

Fox Run Seven Piece Icing Syringe Set Review

Fox Run Seven Piece Icing Syringe Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
So far I've only used this to fill cream puffs, despite being an icing syringe set, but I will believe the info here will be relevant regardless of what the application. When using the syringe, the plastic top will often come off if the filling requires a decent amount of force to push out. This causes the entire bottom half (tube & filling) to fall down. I would imagine that if this is being used to decorate a cake, it would make quite a mess! It is really hard and frustrating trying to secure the top lid to the tube.
