Side by Side Comparison of: Cake Boss vs Ateco

These seem to be good quality, I not only used them to mark my fondant but as a scraper once (only because I couldn't find my scraper) lol But all in all, great set! Able to bend around cake with no hassle at all, and clear so you can see what it is that you're doing.

first I was a bit skeptical about it, because I know buddy is an excellent pastry chef, but I wasn't sure about his products, so I give it a tried and I end up buying most of their product. their are excellent well made, do the work so nicely. he knew the real necessities for bakery. I love this. excellent product!

So glad I bought this. I used the large diamond print for a tiered baby shower cake. I used a fondant paddle from HOSL 4 Sets (11pcs) Sugarcraft Icing Cake Smoother Fondant Cutter Embosser Rolling Pin Modeling Tool Kit Set to smooth the Diamond Panel onto the fondant. They lined up fairly nicely. I used too much frosting on the inside so it didn't imprint very deep, will correct for next cake. They are super easy to clean and will last as long as you take care of it. 4 panels included one package. So many other things could be done with these.

When using this product seems a lil dificult but works great just pratice. great for my business @mysulcetreats

I had to make a 20th wedding anniversary cake recently & the customer told me she wanted scrolls on her cake & that I could do them any way I wanted to. I remembered buying this impression mat a while back, but never got to use it so I decided to try it out & I was very happy with the result! I was a bit worried the mat wouldn't work good on buttercream icing since that is what I was icing the cake with, but it worked really well! After I smoothed the cake out I put the mat against each side & pressed somewhat hard all over the mat so it would leave the imprint. After each use I wiped the mat clean to make sure it wouldn't stick to the cake. It peeled off easily without damaging the cake & I could easily see the imprints. I then used a tip #3, with buttercream I piped along the patterns. This size tip easily filled in the lines & dots. I found it very easy to use on buttercream, but I imagine it would be even easier on fondant. I find square cakes are easier to work with impression mats than round cakes, but it will work on both shapes & icings. Now that I tried one of them I can't wait to try out the other patterns!

I love these imprint mat, i was surprise by how nice they look great price! I hope to see more designs from cake boss soon..

We decided to bake homemade for our son's birthday party this year, and since we decided on cupcakes it was essential to have a decorating set. My husband and I both enjoyed using this set. It comes with 12 stainless steel tips which was a godsend to us since we were unable to clean them right away. When you open the packaging the cardboard supporting the tips shows examples of the different uses for the various tips. That was very helpful since we had no idea what we were doing. We played around a bit with different looks until we found what we were looking for. I believe we used the 30 tip the most for the cupcakes. The only problems we came across had to do with packaging. As nice as it is to have a container for the tips, I wish there was a better way to organize them. For example, when you open the packaging it is pretty and organized. The tips come through the cardboard from the bottom, but when you want to pull one out you have to pull all of them out and the cardboard. It gets really messy and hard to put back together. As that issue is minor and does not affect the way the product works, it gets five stars. It was very easy to use and professional quality.

If you do a lot of baking, this set comes super handy. I used this to make Macarons and it made my life so much easier. Prior to this, I was using zip lock bags where I'd cut a little hole in the corner. If you want to make good looking circles or other shapes, this kit will make it easy for you. It comes with a case for you to store the bag and the various tips so that you don't lose them. It's also very easy to clean and dry.

We use this product all the time to make our deviled eggs it's awesome. My daughter uses it to decorate birthday cakes and thinks it does a super job. We love the reusable bag that was included with the tips.

Maybe it's just because I'm new to this whole piping business, but I found myself attempting to reciprocate the designs shown on the package and failing miserably. I wanted to believe it was the product and not me, because I was so eager to use the item... but then my baker friend took over for like 15 seconds to show me how to recreate the pretty shapes and it was then that I realized that I was the defective one. The items come just as advertised, no secret monster in the piping bag, no switcheroo pieces, nothing fishy. Great deal, Great price, Great products!But seriously, if you don't know how to use these items, don't worry, practice makes perfect, its you not me. :)

I really liked this set. It's inexpensive, easy to clean, reusable, and I felt like it was easy to use and made frosting cupcakes much faster as a novice, for both buttercream and egg-white based frosting. The different decoration caps screw on, so don't have to worry about seepage, which I like. It seemed like every cheap set you'd see at places like Bed, Bath and Beyond were just clear plastic throwaway bags where you just cut a corner of the bag and push the cap inside the bag, which just makes for a mess. So finding this on amazon just in time for St Pat's day Guinness chocolate cupcakes was perfect. I can't say personally if its a good set or not if you are really good at decorating, which I'm not at all, but I would certainly recommend it if you occasionally need to frost a cake or cupcakes and aren't that into making it look pretty.

I ordered this a little while ago, but waited to write my review until I had used the product. I can say I have used this numerous times and have never been disappointed! It's easy to use and even easier to clean! The only advice I have is to clean the bag right after use to prevent the icing from drying out inside the tip. I definitely think that this was worth the price!

I like these. But the hearts on the designs look like they were drawn by a child. I'll still use them, but I'll have to fix each heart.

this is big or small they must have a medim size, but is ok

Wonderful product very convenient

It did the job. Extremely thin and may crack so be careful.

Like I read in previous reviews-make sure you press very hard on fondant to get the pattern across. When I thought I had pressed hard enough, part of the pattern disappeared when lifting the stencil which was kind of a pain because then I had to try and match up the parts that were already transferred exactly so the cake wouldn't look like crap.

I used these as guide lines on a buttercream wedding cake. I was using butter cream, not fondant, so I had to imprint them onto the cake. It worked pretty well, but the plastic is a bit stiff for trying to bend to the curves of a round cake. For fondant work, it would work better if it were laying on a flat surface. This is just my opinion and I'm not a professional.

The product I received was exactly as expected. The included piping bag and assorted tips worked well for making French macarons. The other tips offer a wide variety of decorative options but I have only used the #12 tip so far. I rated 4 stars due to the fact I believe the addition of a #8 (or so) tip would make this set even more useful. Overall, really pleased with my purchase.

I love this set for baking! The plastic bag is not stiff like others that I have had, making it easier to squeeze out its contents. The tips cover all basic decorating needs. It comes in a plastic clear box that is really plain and adorable. I use it as a lipstick holder.One complaint is that when you are flipping the bag inside-out to clean, be sure not to pull too hard or the bag will come off of its couplet attachment.

I recently fell in love with baking and bought this set. I used to have a ziplock bag as my piping bag. I did okay with that and wanted perfect decorated cupcakes. This was a great product at a great price. The bag is washable. People said the icing is hard to remove but if you wash it right away with hot water it doesn't stick. The tips are great. SO much variety. I made flowers and leaves and daffodils. However, it does not have the giant tip for the big roses. But you can buy an additional one for almost $1. Which I did so no worries. The pieces come off easily when washing. Great Buy!

The tips in this kit are of nice variety, and I've found them to be reasonably rust resistant. They all have a pretty small opening, I find myself not using a tip when piping cream-puff dough. The small tips are great for filling them though. The bag that comes with this is a very durable plastic, and it handles dense dough just fine. I found the bad serviceable but a bit small for piping large quantities of anything, filling it several times keeps everything much cleaner. The coupler is sturdy and basic.A good starter kit, but you may find yourself looking for larger tips sooner rather than later.

I've used this set a few times, and I have to say it's a great value for the price if you need a decent selection of icing tips.My only complaint (but easily remedied) was the included bag with the attached coupler. The bag is only useful for small decorating jobs -- I'm on a macaron-making kick, and it definitely is a pain having to constantly refill the bag. It's also not that easy to completely clean.My solution? I took a pair of scissors and a paring knife and just cut the bag off (it came off quite easily) and threw it away. I kept the coupler (rather than buying a separate one) and just purchased a roll of larger disposable plastic bags.

This is a great basics set for someone that would just be doing basic decorating of cookies, cakes, maybe some pretty decorations on appetizers or deviled eggs and the like. The tips are nice quality and they're the standard size, so the kit would be easy to upgrade if you get more into this kind of stuff. The bag is small if you're going to want to do a large quantity of any particular color or type of icing, but you can easily get a larger one as you progress into the hobby. Overall, I think it's a great value.

One of the sheets was not usable as it had a wrinkle in the plastic mold.

Ok...not as neat lines as I would have liked.

I only received the large diamond pattern instead of the large and small, so I'm disappointed there. I guess I didn't realize until months later when I had an occasion to need the pattern. The large pattern worked well for my buttercream cake, but there is a learning curve. I started in the middle of the mat and worked to the two sides. If the matts were large enough to go around a 10 or 12" cake, I would like it more. It was a little bit of a pain to get the next pattern lined up and they didn't match exactly in the back. Other than that, it is much faster than using a triangle and ruler.

Plastic is a little thin, but items work great. Arrived on time

Fine for using as a template/guideline. You have to go over lines with ruler or other sharp edged object, to achieve noticeable indents.

I purcha sed this product for a wedding cake. I was never able to use it because you need to make a higher pile cake for it to be transferred on. I used a standard 12" 10" and 6" cake pan and doubled them and It still was not high enough to transfer design onto. I will try them next time by using 3 completed cakes to stack instead of 2.

Hard to clean, but works ok.

Ok for a starter set. Not something I would buy again. The quality is ok for the price, but if I had to pay shipping too, I probably would have given it one less star. I bought this with other items, and this was the only reason I kept it. It is cheap, and ok if you need something quick, but not my go to item for decorating. I have used it a few times, and I am afraid the screw on tip is going to let go any time now. I don't mean to be negative, but this is my honest opinion of the item. As far as positives go, I would say the storage case is nice, and keeps all the pieces together for storage. If you are not overly serious about decorating, this is an inexpensive starter kit, and might be just fine. I got what I paid for, and cannot give my recommendation for this item. I paid full price for this item, and this is just my opinion. I hope this review is helpful when making your decision as to whether or not to purchase. Happy decorating!

Seems to be non-standard sizes

They are all very small nozzles. You wont be able to pipe a thick layer of frosting onto a cupcake in 2-3 circles.

Bought it for class but didnt have the tips i really needed but made it work

This set was ok, but it was too small to make the traditional swirls. It was great for beginners! It was not what I was hoping for.

Didn't work well on a fondant cake. As I see it, you cannot use this before putting the fondant on the cake b/c then the lines would disappear as you smooth out the fondant and I'm not even sure I would be able to get the lines on straight that way. I tried it after putting the fondant on the cake and pushed hard, but no lines showed up.

Very tough to use them properly as they don't make enough of a mark on fondant. I suggest only using with butter cream.

Don't put in your dish washer!

Not what I expected

Smaller than expected details hard to see have to push in real hard to the point of pressing through fondant

still cant figure it out and no instructions

Not functional

The bag absolutely stinks and I mean that quite literally. I will just use the tips but I find there's still more tips needed in order to properly decorate.

too small

not pleased with product.

Poor qualityNot the same as picturedIt's just a plastic clear not white

Item is not so sturdy and that is needed for working with Fondant

Not good at all. Should've followed the previous reviews. These molds are hard to use. They barely made an indentation on my fondant, so basically they were useless. Waste of money.

I did not like the quality and it was very hard to work with this product. I`m returning this merchandise.

das habe ich nicht bekommen!

Maybe it's me but they did work good

Had to cancel order. Months we talked by.

cheap Chinese junk!!!

arrived damaged

The quality of this product is good, but the bag is really hard to clean every time, also the tips in this set are not useful for me since I want to use it for making butter cookies, because the size of tip is smaller, can not make perfect cookies, not satisfied, got refund from amazon. I will looking for something else.
