Sweet Surrender

Offset spatula image found on pioneerwoman.com.

Sitting in my sun room office writing about icing spatulas, whisks, pretty pale-blue prep bowls....I finally understand why I need an offset spatula. That's the one where the blade is bent near the handle, instead of being one straight flat surface. It's kind of like a step down near the neck, with the blade/spreading surface below. It keeps your hands/wrists out of the frosting and is great for coating mousse cakes and Sacher tortes with rich, warm, glossy chocolate glazes. You have more leverage and height than with a straight spatula. The offset is also supposed to do a sweet job of spreading cake batters.

On that useful note, good night.
