Modelling tools & fondant knives
There are 18 products.
Figures, bows, geometric patterns and fine details all call for precise tools. In this category you will find modelling tools and fondant knives for shaping, cutting and texturing fondant, flower paste and marzipan. From a compact starter set to specialist tools for experienced decorators, everything you need is here.
Tools for shaping
The 6-piece and 4-piece modelling tool sets cover the essential shapes: ball ends for curves, cones for openings and grooves for folds. They are joined by the ball tool with small and large ends, the 17.5 cm double-ended modelling tool and the Sail tool with soft silicone blades. The fine needle tool scores lines and pops air bubbles. The extruder with 20 discs and the Decor Twist with 20 attachments press out ropes, braids and borders.
- Modelling: 6- and 4-piece sets, ball tool, Sail tool and fine needle
- Cutting: Sugarcraft knife with 10 spare blades, 11.5 cm fondant scissors and cutting wheel
- Geometry: hexagon, diamond, square, puzzle and triangle multi-sets
- Work surface: set of 2 modelling boards and round foam pad
Precise cutting and detailing
With its sharp blade, the Sugarcraft knife cuts fondant without stretching it. Replace the blade as soon as it becomes dull, which is what the pack of 10 spare blades is for. For tiny pieces, use the precision tweezers. The geometry multi-sets cut out identical hexagons or diamonds that you can arrange into modern patterns. To thin the edges of petals, work with the ball tool on the soft foam pad. Tools for sugar flowers are available in our Gumpaste flower category.
Care and tips
Keep your tools clean and dry so that nothing sticks, and dust them with a little starch if the paste is tacky. Let figures dry overnight before placing them on the cake. More basic tools are waiting in our Fondant essentials category.
With the right tools, simple pieces of fondant become small works of art.
