What are these things called and where can I get one?! Please help!?
Hi!!! I'm making one of my world famous cakes (lol) for a birthday, and I'm trying to make it look professional. I usually just use a piping tool to make a decorative design on the cake, but this time I want a very smooth look with elegant detailing. Therefore, I need one of those "frosting spreaders," but I don't know what the real name is, and I don't know where to find it! It looks almost like a flat, thin, 1-inch wide piece of metal that has a crink in it, and professional bakers use it to spread frosting. I see it everywhere, on all the cooking shows! Let me try to draw it online:

^That's the basic shape of it (never mind the dots on the bottom that are just holding the space).
Does anyone know the official name of this and/or where I can find it? THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'll PICK A BEST ANSWER TONIGHT!!!!!!!

Ah, damnit. Never mind that second attempt at drawing it! LOL
Answers:
Get yourself a bakers spatula and some fondant. With the white fondant, you can add food coloring to make it what ever color you want which is really fun and you can use your imagination to really do some creative decorating. Also with the fondant, it makes it easy to adhere the decorations and you will have a smooth brilliant work of art. Good luck and put your creative inner artist to work! P.S. If you have cable, you should watch The Food Network channel, there is a guy named Duff on his show called " Ace Of Cakes " he is from Baltimore, and does some really creative and excellent cakes! I'm sure you will make your birthday recipient very happy :-)
