Before you buy these five cake
0:01
decorating tools, try these shortcuts
0:03
instead. A microwave ring on wheels
0:06
spins surprisingly well. Want textured
0:09
buttercream? If you don't have textured
0:10
cake combs, a spoon creates lots of
0:13
gorgeous rustic textures instead without
0:15
needing any special tools. And to pipe
0:17
flowers, instead of a flower nail and
0:19
parchment squares and piping tips,
0:21
Ziploc bags work really well for simple
0:23
flowers and for designs with dots and
0:25
lines and for beaded borders, too.

Instead of trying to flatten domed cakes
0:31
with a serrated knife or a cake leveler,
0:33
bake with cake strips and your layers
0:35
will come out so flat you won't even
0:36
need to level them. Instead of buying
0:39
cake stencils, cut your own from
0:40
parchment paper. Use a different stencil
0:42
for each color and layer them, chilling
0:44
the cake in between each color so your
0:46
stencils don't smudge the parts already
0:48
on the cake. Then when you're ready to
0:50
upgrade, comment upgrade for a list of
0:52
my favorite cake decorating tools.
