hey all.
so i did a wedding cake this weekend. ugh... long drive + 4 sets of railroad tracks= litle cracks in icing :( i hate when that happens. anyways, i got to the venue and started assembling the four tier cake and all was going well (aside for the travel related blemishes) and i was going to place a tier onto the bottom tier and my hand slipped just a bit i ended up leaving a sizable dent in the bottom tier from where my fingers got stuck under the tier i was placing ... anyhoo, i got it patched up and the cake ended up looking good with the help of meticulously placed sugar roses.. but i was wondering.. do they make a tool that (in my mind) resembles a very wide offset spatula, except not as long that you can use to pick up a cake tier with and place easily on top of the bottom tier? in my head this tool looks like a larger spackling tool but is bent near the base off the handle to slip under the cake boartd. does that make sense? you would need two of them, one for each hand slip them under the cake, lift it and place it. then slide them out with no fingers anywhere near the bottom tier. anyone ever seen anything like this? maybe i'll try to make one....
