Cake Art Party Store! I started going here about two years ago when the baking and cake decorating bug bit me. When I first walked in, I was overwhelmed. Actually, I’m still overwhelmed. There’s so much stuff I don’t know… don’t even have a clue about… but I feel like I learn something new every single time I visit. Unfortunately, I can’t do that very often because this store makes me spend money.
Like on these things. I’m serious… this place is dangerous. I think I get a sugar high or something when I walk in … my heart starts racing … I start picking random stuff up. And when I get home, bags full… I’m like, what just happened.
But, when you see all these… in one place. You start thinking… do I have enough yellow sprinkles. I can’t remember. Okay, get some more and get some blue ones, and red ones while you’re at it.
And then, you start thinking that you can’t live without blue teddy bear sprinkles or green palm tree sprinkles, or pink pigs. And what if someone has a baby… I need those baby sprinkles or wait, boys like cupcakes… what about helmet and football sprinkles. You see where I’m going. Let’s just say that I have accumulated my fair share of sprinkles.
The funny thing is … I hardly ever use them on cupcakes or cakes. It just makes me feel good knowing I have them just in case. I know … weird! But, they do come in handy when it comes to decorating cake pops, so that’s how I justify it.
You can even buy them in bags!
Here’s something I’ve never tried… and I think I’ll leave for the pros… Airbrush! Pretty colors, though.
Speaking of colors… did you know you can buy rolled fondant that is already tinted?
I started doing this recently with red fondant because it is seriously a pain to tint it yourself and get it a deep red color.
Now, a lot of people don’t like the taste of fondant, they just like the look of it from a visual perspective. So, if you just want to experiment, then play around and buy it pre-made. Just don’t get this much. You can stick with the 1 pound packages.
Or if you really want, make some from scratch. I hear marshmallow fondant is pretty good.
Anyone need 25 lbs of buttercream frosting?
Or tinted buttercream?
Not me. I like to make my own buttercream and tint it myself. Yummy!
Need some petit four icing? Just snip the tip and go. Great for beginners.
Marzipan… I haven’t dabbled in this stuff yet, but I do like saying the name. Marzipan!
Check this out! This might just be the best part of the store. Pans! Round ones, oval ones, heart-shaped ones, square ones! And in graduated sizes, too! And different heights! Help me, please.
Tools. I love tools. Offset spatulas and flat spatulas. Thank you.
Inside these little trays are every decorating tip you can think of and some you can’t. Grab some disposable bags and couplers and you’re set.
There’s so much stuff in the store that you can miss little things like this. Petal dust and luster dust… I think I’m in love. Now, I just have to figure out what to do with it.
Need to stack a big cake? Sorry, I can’t help you… haven’t done that.
Mine are little and usually just end up on cake boards like these.
And sometimes, they get put in cake boxes. I love cake boxes. Especially the tiny ones.
Little cakes in little boxes are just the cutest!
Need some party supplies? They have that, too.
Baking cups for boys and girls.
Tons and tons of plastic cake toppers. I’ve never bought anything down this aisle…
But, this one made me laugh so hard, I almost bought it for a Mother’s Day cake. Then, I pictured myself on Cake Wrecks and stopped myself. :)
Father’s Day is around the corner, though…
Almost done… hang in there. Cookie cutters are always fun to have.
And so are these. I have this set of dual sided graduated cutters. I love them and they come in super handy when I make fondant covered cupcakes.
Gadgets galore! I can’t stand in this section too long because my pantry just isn’t big enough.
And guess what… that’s just the half of it. Actually, the 1/8th of it. I wish I could show you everything.
Coming soon… candy stuff!
Hope you guys liked looking at all that stuff and thanks Cake Art for letting me show everyone that there’s a much bigger cake world than the 9 inch cake pans I used to buy in the grocery store. And guess what guys… most of it’s easier than you think.

What a wonderful post! Makes me want to go home and bake!
I would love to find turtle sprinkles and my favorite baking tool is definitely my stand mixer!
Thanks for the inspiring posts!
So much FUN!!! and sprinkles on top of it all! I love my rubber spatulas!
my fav is a ziploc for piping
That store is my heaven!
I can’t resist theme sprinkles…halloween, christmas, easter, birthday, baby….it’s all too much!
love love love your blog. Fav decorating item is my “pastry bag” from Williams Sonoma. katherinebal@hotmail.com
My latest obsession is my new donut baking pan! I have been making chocolate cake donuts with sprinkles like it’s going out of style :)
Wow…wish I had a store like that near me! My kids love all the colored sugar sprinkles. We have a ton of them. They like to put their own “glitter” sprinkles on cakes and cupcakes.
I have a box of 100 cookie cutters that I LOVE! Endless sugar cookie possibilities. Now for some sprinkles to decorate….
I’m still learning the art of baking, and so far, my Pampered Chef spatula is the greatest thing in the world when it comes to just about anything!
I’m thinking that store is definitely worth a 4 hour drive! Most recently, I’ve been “messing around” with marshmallow fondant I make myself, so I absolutely LOVE cookie cutters and other tools for that. And of course, my brand new Kitchenaid Pro 600 my mother-in-law surprised me with last week!!
pal4gsus@aol.com
Well this seems like a long shot with how many people have commented, but we’ll give it a go.
I wish this store was in Utah where I live. One Saturday I spent the entire day going from store to store looking for interesting sprinkles to frost cupcakes with.
My favorite baking tool is the thermometer in my oven. I live in an old apartment with an old oven and before I bought the thermometer, I couldn’t get anything to turn out right. Now, every thing works great with my tweaking of the heat according to what the therm. is reading.
brittanybowen@gmail.com
Parchament triangles! Just toss them, no cleanup (especially with greasy buttercream icing) but I don’t feel as wasteful as using plastic disposable bags.
when I lived in china I was unable to find baking liners – so I have those on hand at all times now!!!!
I love my batter scoop! I use it for more than cookies.
Wow! What a fun giveaway!
My melon baller. I use it for practically everything.
I do wedding cakes and so one of my favorite baking items is this aluminum funnel that you can put in the middle of large pans so that they bake faster and more evenly. It’s amazing!!
Oh jeeze. I must never ever go into that store! I’d want to walk out with most of the store!
When it comes right down to it though, I think I like my mini cookie cutters the most. They’re adorable!
ooh, I want to try silpat or whatever its called. and I want to try fondant, but I’m scared. ha ha
chroll.blogspot.com
That store is amazing! I wonder if there is something just as exciting in NYC?
My favorite tool is the offset spatula for icing cakes and cupcakes, it makes it so much easier, and it’s such a ridiculously simple tool!
love the site! oh and silicups, though i do miss that the cupcakes don’t fit nicely into cute cupcake liners now.
http://www.thepinkflamingo.blogspot.com
Wow, that store looks aweswome! I would love some sprinkles! I’ve been trying to find a way to show off the ones I’ve got. My daughters like them instead of syrup on their pancakes.
Now to find an excuse to get to GA to check out that store!
I was having flashbacks while I was scrolling thru your post! I used to decorate cakes and do all other kinds of baking, etc when I was in high school and college. That’s how I made extra money. There was a store near wwhere I lived that was only 1/10th the size of this stoore, but how I loved roaming the aisles! And yes I’d come home with who knows what that I just HAD to HAVE! Now, as for my favorite tool, I’d say that would be my offset small spatula. Oh and definitely SPRINKLES!!! Thnaks for the stroll down memory lane. dkavinsky@gmail.com
I love to decorate cookies, cupcakes and cakes and finally took the first Wilton course last year and had a blast. My favorite decorating item is tip #1 because you can do so much with something so simple: dots, lines, lace, etc…
I love the Wilton gels-perfect for creating the best most vibrant colored icings.
And wow, that store looks AWESOME.
I love my funky shapped cake pans. Like my pirate ship cake pan. Loves it.
who knew there were so many types of sprinkles!! i’m not a very good baker, so i don’t really have any baking tools. i do love my kitchenaid mixer though!
That looks like THE funnest store ever! I wish they had something like that where I live.
I’m in love! We tried making cake pops for the first time Saturday and I wish I had known about this place (and lived on the east coast). AMAZING!
dana.oakley@gmail.com
I LOVE my Wilton decorating tips. I am fairly new to the whole decorating scene, but every year I try to make my own cake for my kids on their birthday or special holidays.
Oh how I wish we had that store nearby! I bet I could spend hours (and plenty of money too).
TupperwarebyMel@gmail.com
That store looks amazing! I want to run home right now and bake something!
My favorite tool is probably my kitchenaid… I also love gel color for tinting icing – so much better than the liquid kind!
marissagonda at yahoo dot com
What a fun store. I love my spreader for frosting. It works so nice.
you leave me overwhelmed!! i am like you and love it all. but i do love the edible pearls in all sizes!
I love a big, beautiful, old-fashioned deep dish pie dish.
How fun!!! I’m just glad that store is nowhere near me; I would be in so much trouble! I love my handle release scoopers. Everything comes out so even. I would love to win your fun sprinkles so I would branch out in my baking and try something new! :)
autumndulin@gmail.com
I wish they had this place in CA! For now fancyflours.com hits the spot.
i love my kitchenaid mixer. i make everything in it! bring on the sprinkles!
Amazing store! My favorite baking tool is my bake even strips. LOVE them!
Holy cow does that store look amazing. My favorite baking (and cooking) tool are my piping bags and tips, I feel like I am pulling them out everyday!
Oh my word, I didn’t realize this store was within reasonable driving distance of my house. This is bad. Very, very bad.
Anyway, my favorite baking tool is my extra long icing spreader. Prior to finding this gem, I ruined more icing jobs than the law allows. :-)
I love my baking stone!
My mom does the baking. But she lets me decorate. I’d love the sprinkles!
I like using the stand mixer. And I love to use decorating tips.
kiersten.mack@gmail.com
That looks like one cool shop. My favorite sprinkles are anything related to Halloween.
oh wow that shop looks AMAZING! i’ve never seen so much cake decorating stuff. my favourite thing for decorating is cute sprinkles – i love hundreds and thousands!
I didn’t need to see that. I don’t need to know what I’m missing up in Alaska.
I love my 1M tip for cupcakes, but I’ve never sprinkled them with anything, unless you count mini chocolate chips.
My favorite tool is parchment paper strips. I love to pull it out after I iced a cake and see those nice clean edges!!!
I think my favourite tool is my little silicone spatula – I use it for everything when I am baking! Stirring, Icing, scooping..I love it.
Christine
That place is wayyyy awesome!! I have a decent collection of sprinkles tahat have never been opened, that I bought thinking I would use them too (plus they are just too darn cute!!!) I’d love more!! : ) My favorite baking tool? That would be my Kitchen Aid stand mixer!! I love, love, love it!!
Becki
lovell@iowatelecom.net
my piping bag with any/all frosting tips! frosting looks so much cooler that way. ilean811[AT]hotmail.com
Lets see The thing I love the most is not just for cake’s it’s my kitchenaid mixer- it makes baking and making icing so much easier- love it love it love it.
I love sprinkles!! Please pick me!!!
I always used the silver dragees as a child. I think the FDA took them off the market… I ended up finding some in Italy and stocked up.
I love my cupcake fillng tip. It’s long and pointy so you can stab the cupcake and fill it with cream! Yum! I actually got it at CakeArt in Atlana!
WOW I got tears in my eyes just looking at that place…It’s amazing.
I love the plastic icing bags. I have made my own from wax paper triangles and they just don’t do it for me. A close second would be my offset spatula..it just makes me feel like I know what I am doing :)
I could live in that store! I love a good cake pan. I love coming up with all different kinds of cakes. I have just started doing your cake pops. I am loving the cuteness of them!
Thanks for the giveaway!
jas.n.em @ gmail.com
Wow! It’s probably a good thing I don’t live near that store. It’s amazing!!
hmm.. I think I’d have to go with my offset spatula. It just is so fun to use. Makes things so much less messy.
I think my favorite baking tools are the strips that you soak in water and then wrap around your cake pans to keep the cake level while it bakes. I’ve been inspired by your cake pops, and could sure use a good collection of sprinkles to create with! http://kimberlycharles.blogspot.com
I’m glad we have nothing like that where I live….I wouldn’t have a paycheck left! I love the my cookie cutters-have them for all seasons and my class loves them during the holidays! Would LOVE some sprinkles to add a little flare!
tory_michelle@hotmail.com
I love my kitchenaid mixer. I use it all the time. I don’t have very many baking tools but I do have a running list of things I need (want)! That store would be dangerous!
OMG! That place looks like heaven! I’m going to see if they have a store in my neck of the woods. =)
I am in awe of that store! I love to use my pampered chef stoneware to bake.
elizbailey02@yahoo.com
i like my cooling rack the best, i would say. i dont know how i lived without it.i looove sprinkles, i have a few but probably not as many as you.:) jamiforcum@yahoo.com
I’ve been looking for peace sign sprinkles and cherry shaped sprinkles. Favorite tools are my collection of cookie cutters!
pour_etre_libre@yahoo.com
I love my offset spatulas, they are the best!
Sprinkles!! Sprinkles!!!!Sprinkles!!!!!!
I would die in that store!
Sprinkles are my downfall too. I keep tons of different ones on hand and I let my kids have sundae/cupcake decorating parties and use the sprinkles to decorate however they choose. They love it!
crissammitchb@aim.com
I dont know if my last comment was posted…but I want to find soccer ball sprinkles, so I can make cupcakes for my team!!!!
Ahh! I would love some sprinkles!! I’d love to have some frog sprinkles :) I haven’t come across any yet though.
Now that is a store I need to go to. Thanks for all the great pictures. My favorite tool would have to me my kitchen aid mixer because it certainly helps me with mixing everything I need to.
http://a-day-in-the-life-of-sweet-pea.blogspot.com/
Cake Art is in the town I live in. Its opening is what finally pushed me from thinking I could try to actually trying. I could get lost in there for hours, too. Most of the time spent in there is looking at things I have no intention of buying – I just like looking at it. Weird? I’ve always got my kids with me though so going down the sprinkle aisle is practically impossible.
Since I’m very much a novice and don’t practice often, I’d have to say my favorite tool to date is the grass tip that I used to pipe a mane on my 3-yo’s horse shaped birthday cake. Thanks!
Every since we moved to our new house, I haven’t been able to find my heirloom (honest — it came to me from my great-grandma!) biscuit cutter, so that double-sided graduated set of cutters really caught my eye…
Hmmm my favorite things must be my stand mixer and my pizza stone (which is good for so many things other than pizza!)
I love colored buttercream icing with white non perils!!
I love that store! Wish there was one near me!
Has anyone invented sprinkles designed like soccer balls???? That would be my dream sprinkle- then I could make cupcakes for my team!!!! Love your blog, btw!
I love to dip things in candy coating or chocolate. Mmmm!
I also love colored sugar.
What an awesome store!
I love my silicone baking cups for cupcakes and muffins. My spatula is pretty awesome, too.
cassandie19@yahoo.com
Yay Sprinkles!! My favorite tool is my mixer. I use it at least once a week (I’m not a professional baker), because I have a big sweet tooth.
I have some sad five year old chocolate sprinkles in the cupboard. I need to get more sprinkle friends!
ewilliams9594@yahoo.com
WOW! I’d be in heaven at that store!!! My favorite decorating tool is my #3 decorating tip which I use to outline/detail my sugar cookies:) My grandchildren LOVE decorating with sprinkles!
Do they have “crown sprinkles” at that store? Would love to find some for my pageant friends!
stamp1n@aol.com
offset spatulas! all sizes, can’t get enough of em!
marjadesign@aol.com
My granny gave me this mixing bowl that is super light, has a pour spout, and a lid so I can proof stuff in it. I love it!
aaw068@unt.edu
I love the colored fondant, especially the red. I bought white and tried to tint it deep red to make the Valentines candy box cake. I used almost all my coloring and it only came out dark pink so I am all for the precolored red fondant!
And I am glad that store isn’t by me because I would spend a fortune in there.
dixielegs611@yahoo.com
That place looks awesome.I could lose hours of my life in there!! I feel a roadtrip in my future.As for my most needed tool…toothpicks! Seriously,I can’t tell you how many times those little things have saved me or been just the thing I needed.
My favorite took is actually from Home Depot, a spackler :)
My fave baking tool is my Ateco offset spatula- the best money I’ve ever spent at Williams-Sonoma!
Now I am sad I left Georgia to move North to Michigan! Must find one of those stores near me!! One of my favorite tools is actually cookie cutters. Not only can I use them for cookies, but as stamps to lay out a design on cakes! = )
Berrie333@yahoo.com
Wow! I would love to visit that store. My favorite tool(s) are tips! It doesn’t matter which one, they are all fun.
Soccer10t@comcast.net
This place is great! I nly wish it was not thousands of miles away from my home. I love to decorate with yummy butter cream and then use some sprinkles from my assorted box. I like pastel colors, but also keep a few primary colors of dinosaurs, teddy bears, etc hanging around.
Lise ficra@foxisland.net
There are no cake decorating stores where I live. I would love to go to yours. One of my favorite decorating tools would have to be the fondant flower cutters. They are great.
My favorite baking tool is probably my spatula or my decorating tips!!!
I wish I had that store near me! My favorite decorating/baking tool (besides rubber spatulas) is the 1M tip from wilton – it makes cupcakes so pretty!
Long time reader, first time commenter. I just couldn’t pass up the chance to win sprinkles!
I’m so glad I’m in Canada and therefore am not close to this store. I’d be bankrupt and my tiny apartment full of all the wonderful things here.
Also, I love your blogspot. I stumbled on it when I was looking for a recipe for cakeballs. What a hoot they are to make and a big success wherever I bring them – thanks so much.
I’d love some sprinkles in my life
drd.wp1@gmail.com
Oh how I love baking supplies. Just looking in a catalog can be overwhelming, going to that store would be a death notice to my bank account.
I love pale pink, but it seems so hard to find nice delicate pink sprinkles and sanding sugars, I’ve been tempted just to get bright ones and leave them out in the sun to fade!
http://www.thequeenofcakes.blogspot.com
Wow, I want to go shopping with you. That place is amazing. I can’t seem to find simple and pretty sanding sugar anywhere around here.
Wow- who knew? I’d love to get some adorable sprinkles. The ones at Albertson’s are not sufficient.
http://www.jmsantini.blogspot.com
I like DISHERS! They are the only thing that keeps my cupcakes inside the papers instead of all over the oven floor :)
I love sprinkles and I do use them on cupcakes. My favorite baking tool is my double wall oven.
cchertkow@hotmail.com
OMG, I would be in big trouble in a store like that. Where is it? I want to visit it, haha! I love to bake and seriously, could not tell you which tool is my favorite, I have sooooooooo many! I love my baking stones, tart pans, scrapers, off-set spatula, ice cream/cookie dough scoops, and on and on!
What a shame I don’t live in GA. I would LOVE this store. I’m just starting to bake and I am inspired by it already! Bring one to Los Angeles, PLEASE! :)
I have three girls. Anything pink would be great. They would love playing with pink sprinkles!
Ooohhh, so fun! I love all of my silicone tools (mat, cupcake cups, cake pan, etc.), and also my mini cookie cutters.
http://hanginwiththehaacks.blogspot.com
Oh my, I can see how this store would be dangerous. My favorite baking tools are my mini muffin pans- they are so versatile!
arsnkrs@verizon.net
Oh my goodness. My heart is pitter-patting just looking at pictures of that store. It’s beautiful. Too bad I live in California.
my favorite baking decoration is the chunky white sugar… easily dresses up any dessert.
I wish I had a store like this where I live. No… maybe it’s a good thing I don’t live close to one of these… I know I’d have a hard time leaving!!
rora1313@sbcglobal.net
Hmmm, I don’t think i really have a favorite decorating tool.
but if i had to chose something, it’d be the 1″ metal star shaped cookie cutter I got from my Mom in Law, who got if from HER mom, who got it from HER mom…
}:P
It’s great for donut holes.
http://wolfsilveroak.insanejournal.com
That store looks absolutely amazing! I would love to win some sprinkles. I have a bunch of cupcakes to make soon, and sprinkles would be perfect. I have a Pampered Chef cake decorator gun that I love, and it is great to pipe frosting on to cupcakes. Makes them look very professional.
Happiness is parchment paper! Use it to make piping bags, line cake and cookie pans to prevent “stickage” and to smooth cake icing like nobody’s business! Love it! Speaking of love…I LOVE sprinkles too! Send some this way! jnvistoso@gmail.com
I love my Pampered Chef cylinder measuring cup. I made cake pops for the first time this easter and they were a huge hit with my kids.
I was sooooo excited by this post! I live in the Atlanta area and will be making a beeline for this store first thing on Saturday! The first aisle I’ll hit will be the sprinkle aisle….like you, I’m a sprinkle ADDICT!
Karen
kpow167@yahoo.com
Definitely looks overwhelming! Sprinkles, Let’s see, I have the red, white, pink balls and, yeah, that’s it, lol.
WOW! I wish there was a store like that here. Looks like tons of fun. I could really use some sprinkles. Can’t wait to see the post about candy stuff, you are very creative. Thanks for the chance to win.
My girls can’t have a cupcake without sprinkles and since I make them pretty often I usually buy them every time I go to the store. My husband tells me he needs to make me a cabinet just for the different shapes and colors. LOL! It is almost as bad as my fabric addition. My favorite baking tools have got to be my extra large cookie scoop that I use for making my cupcakes uniform! Love you site!
I have that same problem with baking specialty stores…and for some reason, office supply stores. I can never leave either one empty handed!
That store looks amazing!!! Would love some sprinkles soon~ we have a 7th bday coming up! :o)
Me, me, me!!! I don’t even care what I win!!
My favorite item would be my cake plate to display my goodies after they are finished.
berglin@wi.rr.com
I don’t think I have a favorite tool. I do have a favorite blog though ;) Thanks for sharing!
Wow, twould be an awesome start to my summer baking season to even think about getting specialty sprinkles. My little brother, a strapping guy of 17 yo, is even excited about decorating our planned pops and cupcakes. ^_^ But I did lose the specific cookie cutters I bought to make cakepops somewhere in the recent move from school to home. -__- Where are they!? I bet you understand my pain…
triannamaxwell.livejournal.com
My favorite baking tool is my flat spatula for decorating cookies and cakes!
msbon11@comcast.net
wow, maybe i should take a trip to georgia, just to see this store! my favorite tool? heavy ziptop bags…i can knead sticky dough in it, portion ingredients in advance, cut off the corner for an instant pastry bag, or dollop meringues on a cookie sheet!
betsylynn3@yahoo.com
I love my springform pan! It makes life easier!

After having worked as a cake decorator professionally many years ago (before I became a stay at home mom) – I really miss the access to an airbrush system. You can do so many fun and very subtle techniques with them and seeing your photos reminded me of how much I love them!
Why don’t places like that exist where I live? My fav is the off-set spatula. Changed my life.
What a great place!!!
MMmmmm off-set spatula- very nice!
I could LIVE in that store!! Those sprinkles look so good I could eat them out of the bottles!!
Wow…. i’m sure that store was modeled after heaven =). favorite baking tool??? I hardly bake, but when I do, my pink hand-held mixer from kitchenAid is my fave. hahahaha.
ziplock bags > expensive piping bags. why spend so much money on them when ziplock bags work just as well..even with couplers!
I can´t belive a store like that even exists :-) I´m 100% sure we dont have anything like that in Sweden. My favourite item for decorating is sprinklehearts- it always looks so cute :-)
I’ve been looking for a small dog bone shaped cookie cutter so I can make my own dog biscuits for my puppy!
Wish we had a store like that near us! My favorite luster dust. Makes everything pretty!
WoW! That store is HEAVEN!!! My favorite baking tool? Just one? I’ll have to go with my scoops. For perfectly shaped/portioned brownies,cookies, cream puffs etc. I couldn’t live without them.
I love all my kitchen things. I don’t think I can pick a favorite!
I’ve just started decorating cookies with royal icing and love it. So, my fave would be meringue powder! Love the sprinkles too!
Andrea
henry@avnv.net
I would love to win some sprinkles! I made the graduation caps this weekend and they were a big hit!
bncmaness@bellsouth.net
Let’s try this again. I love sprinlkes even on Ice Cream.I wish we had a store like that where I live, but I’d be in BIG trouble. You can never find cool sprinlkes around here.
Tracy
rolfe87@localnet.com
Oh My Gosh! That looks like the greatest store!!! I’m just learning to use a pastry bag, but I loved the wall of tips!!
steffie100@hotmail.com
I like my cookie scoop. We don’t have a cake decorating store anywhere near us. You’re lucky.
I looked at SEVEN different stores for those little candy-covered chips you used on your chick cake pops and NEVER FOUND THEM! Portland cake stores are sadly sparse…My husband was sure I was obsessed. Maybe I was.
that last comment was from me:)
wow! I gotta find this store!
my favorite tool would have to be my cookie cutters :) haha
melaniemai90@aim.com
I’ve been looking for white chocolate sprinkles…did they have them?
i could live off of buttercream icing. oh, and pink sprinkles. :)
Wait…. in case I get really lucky and win!!! my email is Shelbyrhey@yahoo.com
OMG—
That’s about all I can say. Looks like I am going to have to plan a road trip.
Sue (suestuff (at) comcast (dot) net
I love MMF (fondant). It’s so easy to work with and tastes great.
lotzoflove@hotmail.com
My favorite has to be cookie batter scoop best way to make chocolate chip cookies…so fast. Looks like a great store…one to get lost in. sjbirch@telus.net
I love my kitchenaid mixer and my Tupperware pastry mat. I also have a small (by comparison) collection of sprinkles. I would love to add to it!
kmurray1231@gmail.com
Oh my God!!I could LIVE in this shop. We have nothing even remotely like this where I live. I want one of everything that they sell!
Too bad we don’t have a store like that in Connecticut!! I wish there were baseball, soccer and basketball shots. I have 2 boys who play these sports and they’d be a big hit on snack day. I just found the football shots a few weeks ago. Very cool. My son wants a football themed party for his birthday this month.
LUSTER DUST!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! : )
OHHHHH…that store looks DIVINE!!! “Hagel” sugar, it’s German, and the only place we can seem to get it is in Germany, ha. It’s alot like pearl sugar I guess, but not rounded so much.
My best, most valuable baking items is my APRON! I’m a messy marvin in the kitchen.
WOW nothing like that in my neck of the woods. Good thing I’d go nutty in there.
I’ve always wanted to try my hand at cake pops and if i had sprinkles I think it would push me over the edge!
my very favorite baking apparatus in my kitchen is my jelly roll pan. cuz when that baby comes out, it means it’s time for pecan bars. and pecan bars make me very very happy! :o)
What a fun contest!
My favorite baking tool is my Wilton 1M decorating tip. I use it for almost all my cupcakes…it’s the perfect size!
http://mjheid.blogspot.com
That store looks SO FUN! I don’t think I should EVER go into a store like that. I might never come out!!!
I’d love to win some sprinkles! :) Thanks!
My favorite tool is my spoonula.
I had a store like that! Well… maybe we do. You’ve inspired me to look! :D I would love some star sprinkles…
I NEED one of those stores near me. I used to decorate cakes and such a lot before having babies. That store would totally get me back into it!
I need EVERYTHING!!!
I don’t really have any gadgets (yet), but I need to start going to the cake decorating store!!
By far my favorite tool has to be my Kitchen Aid mixer. I love it! Making home made buttercream icing just wouldn’t be the same without it.
I would absolutely go broke if we had a store like that any where near where I live! How lucky!

That store looks amazing. One of my favorite tools is the triple star tip. It makes big cakes go a lot faster.
The store looks so fun and I don’t even bake all that much. But sprinkles would be very fun and my children would love you so much.
Yes, I want to win!! My favorite tool – I love them all! debdewart@sbcglobal.net
I like those little silver balls. They were my favorite when I was little and haven’t seen them in years. :(

Hmmm…. I love my kitchen aid! That store looks like a lot of fun!

I’m going to have to take a ride down there one day too! It’s only a few miles from me but i need nothing right now and would buy everything!
My favorite baking tool is my mixer!

Yay sprinkles! I love sprinkles…especially the little round ones in any color…or silver dragees. Are those considered sprinkles?
OMG!!! That’s my dream shop! Does it really exists??
My favorite “baking tool” are baking cups. I really like the ones that have little drawings, but here in Brasil we just have the colored ones.
I dream of having those sprinkles you show us in your post today, too.
Thaks for the giveaway!
I have half of the sprinkles you mention and like you, I rarely use them. But, I do love having them just in case. Sur La Table has a good selection but this store, “takes the cake”. I love my small offset spatula.
Ohhhh. a place that bakers dream about. My daughters and I are dabbling in baking and loved making your cake pops…The amount of fun sprinkles out there. Who would of known. Love them….Thanks.

Oh man. It’s probably a good thing I don’t have a store like that near me. I, too, buy things “just in case”. Totally explains the 1 pound bag of pearl sugar I have in the pantry!

I just found your site when i was lookign for hello kitty stuff and saw your hello kitty pops. I have a busy schedule so i haven’t tried them yet. When i do have time to bake i have to say i love parchment paper(is that a tool?)or my springform pan.
I absolutely LOVE this store! My favorite item from them is my Sicle Cake Pan that I use to make popsicle cupcakes and also some real popsicles with pureed fruits. I’m so glad you shared this! I’ve never seen the inside of their store, only their website.

Oh! What inspiration! To have such a store nearby would be too dangerous!!
Favorite: aside from my KA Mixer, I’d have to say fancy cupcake liners. They can add that something extra to a cupcake when I don’t have time or supplies to “Bakerella” them.
I am so glad I found this blog. My middle daughter Jennifer loves to bake and make cakes and cupcakes for all of us. We both have learned so much from here. I would love to win the sprinkles to give to her to use. She would be thriled. Thank you so much for sharing about this amazing store! My daughters favorite tool is her cake displayer that turns. I can’t wait till she gets home today to share this with her. Thank you!

That store totally looks like a fun place. Palm Tree sprinkles really?? Makes me want to make some cupcakes before we go away. I am looking for some pancake molds … I would like to surprise my little guy with fancy pancakes.
I swear I could hear angels singing as I looked at the pictures of that store! It’s a good thing I don’t know where this place is located or I’d be there every day.
I’d have to say I would be lost without my off-set spatula. I’ve been using the same one for over twenty years.
Those are awesome! Why don’t they have a store like that here???
My fav gadget is the wire cake slicer/leveler. Couldn’t do without it – and for $3, why would you?
oh i am in love with that store! too bad i’m not nearby but i will browse their online site. :) I cannot live without my KitchenAid mixer or silpat. i just refuse to live without them! :)
I don’t think my pantry or budget could survive a trip to that store! Glad you mad it out alive!
I am a sprinkle junky myself! My favorite kitchen item is my kitchenaid mixer. I love it and it has changed the way I cook.

I actually have two favorite things.
Parchment paper and non-stick cooking spray.
Two things that I couldn’t live without.
That store is AMAZING! Is it crazy that I’d like to drive there all the way from Central Florida? I’d have to say my newest favorite decorator item would be my #3 wilton icing tip. It makes the perfect little eyes on Cake Pops!
BTW- did I mention that today is my birthday? :)
My favorite cooking “tool” is my 2 year old daughter. I call her my little “prep chef” and she loves to help me bake – cookies, cakes, pies, breads, you name it. She sits on the island and helps me pour in the ingredients (she can even crack an egg!) and spreads flour generously around my kitchen. I absolutely love that baking is something we can share together! We definitely need some prissy little girly sprinkles for our next baking session!

I just can’t LIVE without a rubber cake spatula. One side rounded, one side straight-edge. LOVE IT! (and your blog)

I love your ideas. Your blog is “eye candy” to me. I can’t wait to try the graduation caps next month for my son’t graduation. I wish I lived near your cake store – amazing!
My favourite tool is my star icing tips. So versatile! Also, I’m the same way with sprinkles – rarely use them but love having them in the cupboard! It’s the pretty colours, I guess!
I love cookie cutters! Well, I should clarify, my kids love cookie cutters.
Wow. I wish I lived close to that store. I would just bring in a tent and live there. :)

I love this post — I could feel the excitement & thrill in your voice as you gasped for air =) This is one heck of a fun place! My favorite baking tool is my KitchenAid!
Sounds strange.. but offset spatula!
that store looks like a dream! i want to win some sprinkles! fun!!!!!!
Well, I love piping, but don’t have an actual decorating set! I snip off the corner of my bag and go to town! Also, these pictures made me drool over all the products and then I saw that it’s pretty local for me! I’m in Athens, GA – I didn’t realize you were an Atlanta area super-star! :)

Oh dear how to pick just one. I feel like too much of a beginner to even have a favorite. Where on earth is this place? I HAVE TO GO THERE!
That store looks amazing! But I’m definitely with you, I love offset spatulas.
I would go nuts in a store like that… i LOVE LOVE lOVE any kind of sprinkles, I am currently looking for “summer” themed sprinkles for my daughters 2nmd birthday treats… flip flops, sand pails, etc!
