Pastry tools are essential items used in baking to create delicious pastries and desserts. Common tools include rolling pins for flattening dough, pastry brushes for applying egg wash or glaze, and cookie cutters for shaping cookies. These tools help bakers achieve the perfect texture and presentation in their creations. In addition to these basics, specialized tools like pastry bags and piping tips allow for intricate designs and decorations on cakes and pastries. Dough scrapers help in managing sticky dough, while baking mats provide a non-stick surface for rolling out pastry. Together, these tools make baking easier and more enjoyable.
