Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a straight and an offset palette knife?

A straight palette knife has the blade in line with the handle, which is ideal for spreading icing on flat surfaces and getting under delicate cakes. An offset (angled) palette knife has a bent blade that lifts your hand above the work surface, making it easier to spread frosting across the top of cakes without your knuckles touching the surface.

Can I use this for smoothing the sides of a cake?

Yes, though a cake scraper or bench scraper typically gives a more consistent result on the sides of a layered cake. The palette knife is best used for applying and roughly smoothing the buttercream before finishing with a scraper.
