Know before you buy
The offset design angles the blade downward, which keeps your knuckles elevated above the surface of the cake or pastry. This prevents you from accidentally dragging your hand through the frosting while you are smoothing it out.
No, this spatula is not dishwasher safe. The natural wood handle can crack, warp, or lose its finish if exposed to the high heat and moisture of a dishwasher, so it should be hand-washed and dried immediately.
Yes, the blade is made from tapered, ground stainless steel, which provides a high degree of flexibility. This allows it to conform to the curves of cupcakes and smaller cakes for a smooth, professional finish.
It is not recommended to use this spatula on non-stick surfaces. The stainless steel blade can easily scratch or damage non-stick coatings, so it is best reserved for frosting and decorating tasks.
At 4.5 inches, this is a compact, precision tool. It is specifically designed for smaller tasks like frosting cupcakes, brownies, and mini cakes rather than covering large, multi-tiered cakes.
