Thermoblade Heated Scraper Review - Price: The scraper is £325, with a bundle including four patterns, an apron, and other items for around £350. - Performance: Jess found it heavy (similar to a Kindle) and felt it required too much buttercream to achieve a perfect scrape in one pass. - Value: Jess believes the return on investment is low for most bakers, comparing the cost to a stand mixer or a new fridge. - Market Fit: Jess questioned the timing of the launch (January) and whether the product aligns with current trends, noting a shift toward sugar paste and fondant over buttercream. 2425 - Functionality: The tool does not do the top of the cake well; the creator admitted she had not practiced the top because she does it differently.
