An icing smoother is a type of scraper, either plastic or metal (usually aluminum), that is used to smooth buttercream on the tops and sides of cakes in preparation for decorating. Some smoothers even have different sides that can create cool designs on your icing - in that case, it is known as a decorating comb.
We use this smoother by Ateco:
There are lots of brands to choose from so depending on your needs, you can get one that does the job. Online merchants such as Global Sugar Art carry them.
Since we got one, our crumb coat for fondant has been the smoothest ever!
Happy baking!
