Have I used the Cranked handle palette knife? Do I need it?
Yes, I use it almost with everything I do in the bakery.
When making sponge sheets, I use it to spread out the sponge, I usually use a longer blade for this.
For cakes, I like to use the small to medium-length blade as it feels like I have more control.
Do I use it every day?
YES!!! This tool is on my “Must have” list. I use the palette knife to help mix colour and flavours into icings or batter. Spread various icings, creams, chocolate, ganche and cake batter.
I use it to level my cakes when I decorate
I may have more than one in my toolbox, and they are all different lengths.
