at least one blade adapted to sculpt icing; and

said at least one blade having an extending protrusion sized and shaped to engage the channel of the handle so that the blade is removably positioned in the handle cavity.

2. The tool of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of channels are formed in the inner sides, the plurality of channels extend a width of each of the inner sides.

3. The tool of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion extends from a top and bottom surface of the blade.

4. The tool of claim 1 , further comprising a clip, the clip having a recess for receiving the outwardly extending flanges of the handle.

5. A tool for sculpting icing on a baked good, the tool comprising:

a handle having outer sides and ends and opposing inner sides defining a cavity with a channel formed in at least one of the inner sides;

at least one blade adapted to sculpt icing;

said at least one blade having an extending protrusion sized and shaped to engage the channel of the handle so that the blade is removably positioned in the handle cavity; and

a clip having a recess for receiving the ends of the handle.

6. A tool for sculpting icing on a baked good, the tool comprising:

a handle having outer sides and ends and opposing inner sides defining a cavity with a channel formed in at least one of the inner sides;

at least one blade adapted to sculpt icing;

said at least one blade having an extending protrusion sized and shaped to engage the channel of the handle so that the blade is removably positioned in the handle cavity; and

the outer sides of the handle having a projection for accommodating a user's hand while using the tool wherein the projection includes an oblong rim that curves downward toward a flat center portion.

7. A tool for sculpting icing on a baked good, the tool comprising:

a handle having outer sides, opposing inner sides, and ends defining a cavity therebetween with a channel formed in at least one of the inner sides;

at least one blade adapted to sculpt icing;

said at least one blade having an extending protrusion sized and shaped to engage the channel of the handle so that the blade is removably positioned in the handle cavity; and

the at least one blade having a main body with two ends and a decorative tip extending from each end.

8. The tool of claim 7 , wherein the main body of the blade has a step portion for facilitating insertion in the handle cavity.

9. The tool of claim 7 , wherein the blade tips are angled for aiding in sculpting a design in the icing.

10. A tool for decorating icing on a baked good, the tool comprising:

a handle having two joinable members having opposing outer sides, opposing inner sides, and ends with a cavity formed therebetween;

at least one blade removably positioned within the cavity of the handle, the at least one blade having a main body and two ends with decorative tips and a top surface and a bottom surface; and

at least one protrusion extending from one of the top surface and the bottom surface of the at least one blade,

wherein the protrusion engages the handle to secure the blade to the handle.

11. The tool of claim 10 , wherein the decorative tips are angled for aiding in sculpting a design in the icing.

12. A tool for decorating icing on a baked good, the tool comprising:

a handle having two joinable members having opposing outer sides, opposing inner sides, and ends with a cavity formed therebetween;

at least one blade removably positioned within the cavity of the handle, the at least one blade having a top surface and a bottom surface; and

at least one protrusion extending from one of the top surface and the bottom surface of the at least one blade,

wherein the protrusion engages the handle to secure the blade to the handle; and

wherein each member has an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface having a plurality of channels formed therein.

13. The tool of claim 12 , wherein the protrusion extending from one of the top and the bottom surface of the blade is received in one of the channels of the members.

14. The tools of claim 12 , wherein the outer surface of each member has a projection for accommodating a user's hand while using the tool, wherein the projection includes an oblong rim that curves downward toward a flat center portion.

15. A tool for decorating icing on a baked good, the tool comprising:

a handle having two joinable members having opposing outer sides, opposing inner sides, and ends with a cavity formed therebetween;

at least one blade removably positioned within the cavity of the handle, the at least one blade having a top surface and a bottom surface;

at least one protrusion extending from one of the top surface and the bottom surface of the at least one blade,

wherein the protrusion engages the handle to secure the blade to the handle; and

wherein each member has two ends, the ends having an outwardly extending flange.

16. A tool for decorating icing on a baked good, the tool comprising:

a handle having two joinable members having opposing outer sides, opposing inner sides, and ends with a cavity formed therebetween;
