Where I Shop

A student once asked whether she needs to buy a lot of small tools for fondant work. Initially, you dont need many, but as you progress, think of tools as an investment. If it helps you be more efficient (speed) and effective (higher quality work results), and you will be using it often, then it is good investment.
