I would think the fancy lines on cakes and brownies might be piped on. at least, that's a way I could see of doing them with a visual impairment. Spread most of the frosting evenly over the cake/brownies and then pipe the lines on using a pastery bag.
Just a thought,

Hmmm! I will ask my cousin, Linda.  She works at a bakery.

Yes, indeed! Sighted people might frown on this, but washing the hands is
the main thing, which, of course, all of us do!
The one thing I still would like to know is when a sighted person puts
frosting on a cake or on a brownie, how do they get those fancy raised
rippley lines on top?

Sandy, I'm glad to have someone on the same side as myself regarding the
issue of using your finger to even out peanut butter spread or any type of
other substance like batter in a cake pan.

Like the saying goes: "Fingers were made before forks and knives", when you

can't see, the finger is the determining criterion in the art of cooking.

I do use a rubber spatula or the back of a wooden spoon to start; but to get

rid of any "hills and valleys" in the spread, the finger is the final
determinant.

I know this sounds crazy, but if you have the knife moistened with
water,
it
will make it glide on bread more easily. I normally do not do peanut
butter
sandwiches, and my kids are all grown and not home, but it used to work on
bread or crackers. If you want to be sure it is spread evenly, wet one of
your other fingers to give it a good touch, and it also will glide really
smoothly!
The reason I said I do not do peanut butter is merely that I cannot stand
the stuff! I will make peanut butter cookies for folks.

Does anyone know a good way for a blind person to spread peanut
butter? _______________________________________________
