Icing Spatula / Straight Knife 12-inch

A 12-inch straight stainless steel icing spatula with a thin, flexible blade for applying a crumb coat of buttercream, spreading ganache across the top of a cake, and producing a flat, polished surface on a fully frosted layer cake. The 12-inch length covers the full diameter of a 10-inch cake in a single stroke without repositioning. Suited to serious home bakers and professionals who aim for smooth, bakery-standard finishing. Hold the blade at a shallow angle to the cake surface and use light, confident strokes without pressing; pressing too hard creates ridges that are difficult to smooth out afterwards. Wash and dry flat; a bent blade affects accuracy.
