Ateco Offset Spatula

The offset design creates a drop between the handle and the blade, which keeps your knuckles from dragging through the frosting while you smooth the sides of a cake. It provides better clearance and allows for more precise control when spreading icing.

While the spatula is technically dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing it. Frequent exposure to high heat and water in a dishwasher can cause the natural wood handle to dry out, crack, or lose its finish over time.

A taper-ground blade is thinner at the tip and thicker toward the handle. This design provides the perfect amount of flexibility at the edge for delicate smoothing, while maintaining enough rigidity near the handle to spread thicker batters or heavier frostings.

The 6-inch blade is best suited for smaller cakes, cupcakes, and detailed decorating work. If you are regularly frosting large, multi-tiered cakes, you might find a longer blade more efficient for achieving a perfectly level finish.

At 7.2 ounces, this spatula has a substantial, professional feel compared to lightweight plastic tools. The weight provides better balance and stability in your hand, which helps with consistent pressure when smoothing icing.
