Ditto on what cupadeecakes said about the wet towel. I recently discovered this and it has saved me from the dust cloud that settles on everything. I justify most of my equipment purchases with each cake I sell so one of these days I might actually make a profit :) I bit the bullet and purchased an Agbay a few months ago and my life has never been the same. It’s truly amazing. Cuts out so much time and energy spent making sure things are level. I had two cheapos before and they were awful… one even broke. I keep my Agbay in bubble wrap in the box and guard it with my life. My supplies are stacked to the ceiling now as we are in the process of building a new home so trying to rummage through and find what I need is a major task. I resolve to be much more organized when the house is done. I’m a beginner as well (sold my first cake in January 2011) and I agree with this entire post!
