Fondant smoother

Guest · 2021-01-30T15:16:48.876Z

I would like to try my hand at cake decorating and am therefore still looking for a good, uncomplicated way to work with fondant. I have now seen that there is a fondant smoother in Migros (https://migipedia.migros.ch/de/cucina-tavola-fondant-glaetter) Does anyone have any experience with it? I am also wondering whether there are other fondant tools (such as those presented in the following article: https://www.dieprofibaecker.de/fondant-werkzeug-test/) available to buy or whether they could be included in the range...? Best regards! :)

A colleague of mine has the fondant smoother from Migros and likes it. She wasn't a professional baker, but bought it to try her hand at cake decorating. She is very happy with it and is getting better and better at cake decorating every time, true to the motto "practice makes perfect" ;-) I don't think that Migros will be adding professional baking tools to its range in addition to the existing baking aids/utensils. There are specialized stores for that or you have to order them online.

You can't go wrong with the fondant smoother. But I would buy other things online, there are also stores in Switzerland. Massa Ticino brand fondant, available in Migros, is great. The taste is not quite as extremely sweet as fondant usually is and it is silky smooth without lumps. https://produkte.migros.ch/massa-ticino-fondant-white

What no longer exists (possibly since the silicone/rubber scraper came onto the market) are simply wide plastic spatula scrapers. They used to be used in home kitchens. Simply a semi-circular plastic plate (approx. 15 cm diameter) with which you can clean out bowls etc. like smoothing them out. (These silicone things on a stick are quite nice but much too narrow for certain tasks.) Something like that back in the range would be great! I remember them as a child, it was practically the kitchen standard.

Yes, I loved those silicone scrapers. I grew up with them and I don't think you can buy them anywhere anymore. I would also be in favor of Migros reintroducing these scrapers to its range.

I know these scrapers too, and have some of my own. But I find them unsuitable for smoothing fondant, although they are great for getting clean edges on the cake before the fondant is applied.

Hello everyone, We no longer have a spatula like this on offer. However, we can still offer you our cake lifter: https://produkte.migros.ch/cucina-tavola-kuchenheber It is ideal for smoothing things out. It is very wide compared to conventional cake spatulas and the raised handle makes it ideal for smoothing out a mixture that is already in a ring. We also have normal dough scrapers in our range: https://produkte.migros.ch/cucina-tavola-teigschaber-set-2-stueck https://produkte.migros.ch/cucina-tavola-teigschaber-703949200000 https://produkte.migros.ch/cucina-tavola-teigschaber https://produkte.migros.ch/cucina-tavola-teigschaber-aus-silikon Best regards, Angela

The problem with these silicone dough scrapers is that they can't replace the hard plastic scrapers of the past. For example, if you make dough and knead it on a standard built-in kitchen, you need something to lift the dough and scrape it off the worktop. I have a metal one, but it would scratch these standard wooden worktops. These silicone ones are more for scraping bowls, so they're not suitable. Why are they no longer in the standard range? People who still use them have a marble worktop and can therefore use these metal scrapers?
