What's included in our collection
Materials & Food Safety Standards
Every product in our ac moore cake decorating collection meets strict food safety standards for direct contact with baked goods and edible decorations. We source stainless steel tools that resist corrosion and maintain their edge through hundreds of uses, while our silicone molds carry LFGB certification confirming they’re free from harmful chemicals.
Our fondant and edible decorating products contain only FDA-approved ingredients that won’t affect the taste or safety of your finished cakes. The food-grade materials we use across all baking supplies can withstand high oven temperatures without releasing toxins or degrading in quality. Metal tools feature smooth, polished surfaces that prevent bacteria buildup, and non-porous materials clean thoroughly in standard dishwashers or with warm soapy water.
Tool Selection & Compatibility
Piping Tips & Couplers
Our piping tips follow standard sizing that fits most reusable and disposable decorating bags. The coupler system allows you to switch tip designs mid-project without emptying your bag or wasting frosting. Choose large round tips for filling and writing, star tips for borders and rosettes, or specialty shapes like basketweave and petal for advanced techniques.
Turntable & Workspace Setup
The revolving turntable works on any stable counter or table surface, and its 12-inch diameter accommodates standard round tiers plus square and rectangular cake pans when you need a rotating platform for all your baking projects. Position your decorating tools within easy reach and keep a damp towel nearby for wiping spatulas between colors or frosting types.
Fondant Working Tips & Storage
Our pre-colored fondant arrives ready to knead and roll, but bringing it to room temperature first ensures the smoothest texture. Work on a clean surface lightly dusted with powdered sugar or cornstarch to prevent sticking, and roll fondant to approximately 1/8-inch thickness for covering cakes or 1/4-inch for sculpting three-dimensional figures.
Store unused fondant wrapped tightly in plastic wrap inside an airtight container at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Properly stored fondant remains pliable for up to six months, though we recommend checking the texture before starting large projects. If fondant becomes slightly dry, knead in a few drops of water or shortening until it regains elasticity. Our ac moore cake decorating fondant formula resists drying faster than traditional recipes, giving you extra working time to perfect your designs.

Cake Decorating Supplies Questions
The stainless steel piping tips, couplers, spatulas, and metal components of the decorating set are all dishwasher safe for convenient cleanup. The silicone molds can also go in the dishwasher, though hand washing helps preserve intricate details over time.
We recommend wiping the turntable with a damp cloth rather than submerging it, as the ball-bearing mechanism performs best when kept dry. The fondant and edible glitter are food products and don't require cleaning—just store them properly in airtight containers.
Our piping tips work beautifully with American buttercream, Swiss meringue buttercream, cream cheese frosting, and royal icing. The stainless steel tips maintain their shape even with stiff frosting consistencies, and the smooth interior edges create clean lines without tearing delicate decorations.
For best results, bring your frosting to room temperature before piping so it flows smoothly through the tips. Thicker frostings work better for structural decorations like roses and borders, while thinner consistencies suit writing and delicate lacework.
Once opened, our pre-colored fondant stays fresh for up to six months when wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep fondant away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which can cause it to dry out or change texture.
If your fondant becomes slightly firm after storage, knead it with clean hands until it softens, or work in a few drops of water or shortening to restore its pliable consistency. Unopened fondant packages last up to two years in cool, dry conditions.
All the metal and silicone tools in our ac moore cake decorating collection work perfectly with gluten-free cakes, vegan frostings, and alternative recipes. The tools themselves contain no food ingredients, so they're suitable for any dietary preference.
Our fondant variety pack is gluten-free, though it contains sugar and may not suit vegan diets depending on the specific formula. Always check individual product labels if you have specific allergen concerns. The edible glitter and luster dust are generally compatible with most dietary restrictions, but we recommend reviewing ingredient lists for your particular needs.
The heavy-duty turntable supports cakes up to 16 pounds, which accommodates most standard tiered cakes for home celebrations. The weighted base and reinforced ball-bearing system maintain smooth rotation even with heavier multi-layer designs.
For extremely large wedding cakes or commercial projects exceeding 16 pounds, consider decorating individual tiers separately before assembly. The 12-inch platform diameter fits standard 10-inch round cakes with room for your hands and tools around the edges.
Our food-grade silicone molds feature naturally non-stick surfaces that release most cakes, breads, and desserts without greasing. For extra-delicate recipes or intricate mold details, a light coating of cooking spray or butter provides insurance against sticking.
Always place silicone molds on a sturdy baking sheet before filling and transferring to the oven—this prevents spills and makes removal easier when the baked goods are hot. Let items cool for 5-10 minutes in the mold before flexing the silicone walls to release your creation.
Yes, our edible luster dust colors blend beautifully to create custom shades and effects. Mix dry powders directly in a small dish before application, or combine them with clear alcohol or lemon extract for painted techniques.
Start with small amounts when creating custom colors, as luster dust is highly concentrated and a little goes a long way. The 18-color set gives you a strong foundation of metallics and jewel tones that mix into hundreds of unique shades for your ac moore cake decorating projects.
