About this project
- Do you have too many tools without even using them?
- Are most of your tools made out of plastic?
- Do you often need to replace your favourite ones?
If your answer is YES to all three of these questions I have good news for you!
Together with Studio Mango we have been working on the perfect set of Modelling Tools. With an eye for an ergonomic and stylish design, each tool has unique features so the possibilities of creating are endless.
They will work perfectly with Cake Dutchess Modelling Paste but they are designed for any kind of medium. Whether you are working with Fondant, Ganache, Modelling Chocolate, Gumpaste, Buttercream, Cold Porcelain or Polymer Clay, these will help you to do a perfect job.
Pro TIP: Place these tools in warm water for a couple of minutes and let them do their magic on Chocolate Sculptures!
For the tools we use a high quality Polished Stainless Steel 304
304 can withstand corrosion from most oxidizing acids. That durability makes 304 easy to sanitize, and therefore ideal for kitchen and food applications.
In the set you will find 4 tools with 8 different tips, great for doing modelling, making flowers, sculpting, detailing, cutting and much more!
Each tool will weigh about 90 gram.
You won't have to worry about breakage and they will be easy to clean, just rinse them off with some warm water!
As you can see in this picture above, this set will have you covered for almost any job when it comes to modelling and sculpting!
We made 3D printed prototypes to test functionality and ergonomics. The recessed finger hold makes it really easy and comfortable to use for right and left handed users.

There are choices between a set of Modelling Tools or Complete Packages including Cake Dutchess Modelling paste and an online Masterclass with me!

Why is shipping to my country so expensive?
We carefully pack and ship the tools in the Netherlands and will provide you (if possible) with a Track & Trace so you can follow your order.
This way of shipping is a bit more expensive but in case your parcel gets lost we will be able to sent you a replacement set or a full refund!
Please note: You are responsible for any of your country’s Customs Fees. There may be Customs hold ups that are beyond my control. If you haven't received your package in the given time frame, please contact your local Post Office and/or Customs Office to inquire if your package is being held for Customs fees.
Risks and challenges
The prototypes and technical drawings are already complete!
When we reach the funding goal we need to create the moulds used by the manufacturer for production.
A test panel including myself will test these to see if the final product is 100% perfect or if the tools need a few more minor changes.
Please allow about 3 to 4 months for us to finalise the tools. I will be fully transparent with all backers and keep the lines of communication open via the Kickstarter blog for this project. New Kickstarter Project Updates are emailed to backers, so please check your email for each update.
My goal is to have the tools ready before Christmas 2017
