I figured since it's such a pain to have to order supplies and then wait for them go get here, I should at least see if there are any stores nearby. Unfortunately, the closest one was about 25 minutes away, so frequent trips are out of the question, but it beats having to wait almost a week for something to be shipped.
I knew the moment I walked in that door that I had stepped through some sort of portal and into a cake decorator's heaven. They had everything I could ever want to decorate all kinds of confections, and even things I had never seen or heard of.
Here are just a few of the things I found...
- icing decorations, in everything you can think of (Disney Pixar Cars, and flowers are shown in pictures above)
- cookie cutters (also can be used as fondant cutters)
- fondant
- extracts in every flavor
- cake pans
- pie pans
- candy molds
- candy melts, in multiple flavors (not just chocolate and white chocolate) which you can use to melt down and make into molded candies or dip other confections, like cake pops, for a candy coating
- cake toppers
- candles
- cake decorating sets, in various brands
- pretty much every single decorating tip Wilton makes
- edible glitter
- food coloring mist
- sprinkles galore
So, in case you were wondering, this is what $103 worth of cake decorating supplies looks like…
I definitely did not plan to buy a book, but it stood out among the rest. Plus I figured that it couldn't hurt to have at least one book to reference despite the number of online resources there are these days.
Somehow I have a feeling that I could single-handedly keep this store in business.
