My Must-Have Tools
These are the exact tools I use for my custom cake orders at Alpin Delights.
Fresh Star Piping Tips Set
This is my go-to set for creating smooth and detailed finishes on cupcakes and cakes. I use these regularly for my custom orders.
Wilton Piping Tips Set Big
This is one of my go-to piping tip sets for creating clean, elegant designs on cakes and cupcakes. It includes a wide variety of tips, making it perfect for everything from simple swirls to more detailed decorations. I especially like the quality and the organized storage case — ideal for both beginners and more advanced bakers.
This set is perfect for creating detailed textures, borders, and classic swirl designs on cupcakes and cakes. I like using smaller star tips like these for more precise work and finer decorations. It’s a smaller set compared to the Wilton piping tip set, making it ideal as an addition for more detailed and delicate designs.
Plain Tube Set, 10 Pieces
This set includes plain piping tips, which are ideal for smooth lines, writing, filling, and clean, minimal designs. I use plain tips when I want a more elegant and simple finish compared to star tips. Unlike star piping tips that create textured designs, these give you precise, clean results. This set is a great addition to any decorating kit for more control and versatility.
Springform Cake Pan Set (Perfect for Layered Cakes)
A good springform pan is essential for clean, professional baking results. I use pans like these for cakes that need easy release without damaging the edges — especially for layered cakes or cheesecakes. This set gives you flexibility with different sizes, which is very practical for both everyday baking and special occasions.
Cake Collar (6 Inch – For Perfect Layered Cakes)
Essential for assembling layered cakes with clean edges and a professional look. Especially helpful for cream and mousse cakes.
