Whether you are adding a glaze or icing to your scones, a silicone brush will help you to top the scones neatly and quickly. Bristled brushes, even high-end one, invariably drop a bristle or two during the task. Silicone brushes eliminate this problem.
Dab or brush thinner glazes on top of the scones. Bursh thicker glazes and icing. A spoon may be best for initially spreading the thickest glazes and icings, but you can even them out and spread the toppings to the edges with the silicone brush.
Silicone brushes are available in supermarkets, specialty cooking stores and online. I prefer the Oxo Good Grips Silicone Brush [Amazon affiliate link*].
