Palette Knives

A palette knife, also known as an icing spatula, features a thin, flexible blade with a rounded tip. This makes it easy to use when spreading icing onto cakes or lifting them into position, for example. Some palette knives also have a slightly offset handle from the blade, which is ideal for delicate applications as it helps to prevent hands from getting in the way. However, the shape of a palette knife makes it ideal for a range of tasks such as spreading sandwich fillings, lifting baked goods from baking trays, folding colouring into icing and trimming icing on the side of cakes.
