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.

Yay Cam! Have any Sprinkle preferences?
I think my favorite decorating tool is my big ol’ star tip! I can’t remember which number it is, but it makes lovely swirls on big or little cupcakes and cakes, and makes it easy for me. For baking, other than my KitchenAid mixer, I love my dishers – I have one that’s perfect for mini cupcakes, one that’s perfect for cookies, and one that’s perfect for muffins and regular cupcakes.
My very favorite baking tool woudl probably be my “worn in” cake pan. It just makes better cakes than a new one… who cares what it looks like! :)
always looking for some larger tinted sugar crystals for decorating cupcakes with.
Favorite decorating item: Shaped sprinkles based on the holiday or occasion with colored sugar in the background, on top of buttercream of course!
Oh God, and I thought the Wilton tent sale was intense (sale they have every other summer at their headquarters for three weeks of super-cheap-discount stuff)! I think my favorite baking thing would have to be my eight-quart stainless steel mixing bowl that I got as a gift for Christmas. That, or my flexible cutting boards- they’re wonderful!
Don’t do cake decorating (yet), but love my offset spatula. Makes icing a cake so much easier.
Love your site.
I’ve been dying for a place like that in Minnesota!!!! I’ve looked and looked and can’t find one. Boo!
I could spend hundreds of $$ there! Oh, man oh man!
*crosses fingers*
My favorite of all time is definitely my KitchenAid stand mixer…given to me by a dear friend makes it even more wonderful, because I never would have bought one for myself!
rebecca.gilbreth@gmail.com
Wow….my favorite baking/decorating item….hmmm….it’s probably my Wilton decorator gum. I LOVE that thing! It makes icing cupcakes super quick and easy and I recently discovered how quickly it ices between the layers for multiple layered cakes. That’s my favorite…..although I love decorating with sprinkles as well, so I’d love to win them!
Jen :)
jenc@crazysummer.org
That store looks amazing!! I couldn’t bake without my offset spatula…that I won from Make n Takes!
Wow, i think for my birthday, i’ll ask for a day in that store, and $300 from my husband.
Do they make “peace sign” shaped sprinkles? that would be really cute!
-suzie (suziepie@gmail.com)
Wow, this store is incredible, I would go nuts in there. I love pretty stuff for my cupcakes, papers, novelties and who doesn’t love sprinkles. Gadgets and tools are great too. I would have to say, my favorites are my #32 wilton star tip. You can jazz anything up with this, I use it to fill deviled eggs for parties and people go crazy over them, like I slaved over them all day. I also love my clicky ice cream scoop, it measures out the perfect amount of cupcake batter or cookie dough, for perfect uniform cookies every time.
If I ever find myself in GA, I will have to visit Cake Art Party Store :)
Wow that store looks amazing! I don’t get the chance to do a ton of baking but I always make birthday cakes for my kids and use that as an opportunity to try out new techniques. Don’t know that I have an absolute favourite tool, but I love my KitchenAid mixer…it made such a difference in having the confidence to try any recipe with less hassle.
My favorite baking tool would have to be my spoonula. You can stir with it, scrape with it, and smooth surfaces, too!
I LOVE my KitchenAid mixer the most and then my cookie scoop! Thanks for the chance to win! I wish we had a store like that out here in the country!
Oh.my.goodness. You just can’t get sprinkles like that in Australia! I have almost every type of sprinkle that you can buy easily in Australia….which means I have about 5 types.
My favourite baking tool is silicone cupcake holders, because I like to cook LOTS at a time, but don’t have the room in my kitchen for lots of metal pans. I can store 4 dozen in a tiny space! I hunted high and low for the EXACT size cupcake papers for them, and boxes too, since I have to get those cupcakes out of my house before my husband (OK, me) eats them all!
I love mixing bowls of all sizes and colors! I want to visit this store ASAP.
caitlinhyla at gmail dot com
I haven’t really done any decorating yet….only sprinkles. SO I guess I would have to say sprinkles…
What a COOL store!!! Time to schedule a vacation to GA! ;-)
favorite tools:
mini batter scoop from Oxo, w/ mini muffin pans, and tart-shaper from PC
elusive sprinkles:
mini triangles, drama faces, music notes
Thanks for the tour and the offer! :-D
That store looks awesome! I go to one but not nearly has packed with goodies!! You’re in cake supply heaven! I’d love to have sprinkles. I use them for many things including my mini purse cakes! Pick me Pick me!!! Love your site!
My faaavorite decorating items are sprinkles! they just brighten everything up!
PinkDinoPhoto@yahoo.com
Wow! What an amazing place. I have just started getting into baking and decorating, so I guess that my favoite tool would be my little starter kit (12 Peice Cupcake Decorating Set). I have always wondered what an offset spatula is though.
Jennifer
I have a thing for sheet pans. Knowing full well that I don’t need anymore, I stare, maybe a little too fondly, at them in the store every time, put a couple in my basket, take two steps forward, two and I put them back. It makes me sad.
jenniferhemp@msn.com
I like to use my decorator bottle set/tips from Pampered Chef. I, too, like making my own buttercream frosting. Then I usually regret it :) Ha!
innisl@wdmcs.org
That place looks awesome! I love decorating bags. They’re the greatest. You can do soo much with one. ;o) So what other kind of sprinkle shapes are there?
email: lifeisscrumptious@yahoo.com
I love my Kitchen Aid mixer and small and medium-sized batter scoops.
Angie
angierash@hotmail.com
Wow! What an amazing store!
My favorite baking tool is my off set spatula!
My dream is to find the courage to try fondant decorating….thanks for all your inspiration.
I think I would have to vote for my KitchenAid Mixer. It’s heavy and somewhat awkward, but once it’s set up and ready…we make beautiful desserts together.
I said, “let’s move to the east coast, it’ll be awesome.” And yet here we are, in California and now all I want to do is shop at THAT STORE.
sigh. I’m on a mission to find that in the bay area. Thanks!
Now, why can’t there be a place like that around me! Maybe it’s better this way or else I would be broke, drowning in sprinkles and baking cups (my weakness)
My favorite baking tool… my kitchenaid mixer. I have a very strong, passionate love for my mixer…
http://threelittleblairs.blogspot.com
Wow, Bakerella, you rule! I wish we had shops like that here in Australia…
But, my favorite is the simple open star 1M tip. Classic, but looks SO good when you use brightly coloured buttercream, and contrasting sprinkles of any size or design, really, or sugar (I like the large crystal sugar).
thatsagoodmeatball at yahoo dot com
I just love your blog. It’s good to know that there is someone else out there who could get into some REAL trouble in such a store!
I can’t really say what my most favorite baking tool is, how could I choose? It would be like choosing a favorite child. I guess my MOST favorite tool is my kitchen aid–does that count as a tool? Anyway, I just couldn’t do any baking without a good mixer!
mlesdeals at yahoo dot com
What a fantastic store!
My favorite baking item are those cinnamon flavored Hot Dots. My father and I would eat them by the handful when I was a child, and I love putting one or two of them ontop of my mini-cupcakes for a cute little kick.
Oh my goodness. Those pictures made my pulse quicken and I suck at decorating! I would so be in heaven, though. We love sprinkles and decorations of all kinds in my house. My 2 littles are a little young to help me frost, so they feel special when adding the sprinkles. I love off-set spatulas. I have them in different sizes and they are so handy. I don’t know why I waited so long to buy one!
i wish there was a store like that close to where i live and if there is i wish i knew about it…..and i cant live without my kitchenaid mixer!!!
Holy sprinkles Batman. I need sprinkles. I’m about to move out of my moms so I need to get my own baking supplies!
wow, that is the most amazing shop I have ever seen! I wonder if there’s anything like it in Australia
That store is AMAZING. I didn’t know that tiny plam tree sprinkles existed, but since you told me about them, I now must have them.
That store looks amazing!! My girls and I are getting ready to try making some cupcake pops and we would love some sprinkles!
I’m new to baking, other than cookies… so I don’t really have a favorite tool yet (other than my cookie sheets, lol). I definitely have a wish list going though!
My e-mail is my3critters@sbcglobal.net
Wowee!! What an inspiring store. I really appreciate my stand mixer. LOVE all those purty sprinkes!
Oh my! Heaven! I would love some really cool sprinkles!! I’m a sucker for them!! You are awesome!
I just love the wide variety of sprinkles you an get!
I don’t know what I would do without an offset spatula! (I can’t believe I just wrote that, either)
That store must be like heaven! I would have to say my fav baking tool is my mini muffin tin. I use it so much more than my reg. size ones and my cake pans. I use it for so many things in my kitchen. It helps that my kids love the mini sizes of everything that comes out of it too :D
j_pane04@hotmail.com
That store is so fun!!! I can’t imagine a place like that! And we can’t get enough sprinkles around our house if you ask my two daughters–they’re just too fun!
My favorite baking tool is what I call my “cheesecake mover”: It looks like a GIANT round spatula (or maybe a pizza board, but made out of metal) that I use to lift my cheesecakes off the bottom of their springform pans and onto a plate, cardboard circle, etc. It’s wonderful – before my sister gave it to me for Christmas one year, I was using two large putty knives (they were reserved ONLY for cheesecakes – I didn’t let my hubbie touch them)! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
OMGosh! I live in So. Cali and we have everything, but we don’t have a store like this!I’m seriously jealous! I think my fave baking tool is what my 7 year old son calls a “spootchula” which is a rubber spatula that is slightly concave so you can also scoop the batter out of the bowl, fill your pans and then lick it off!
amikathryn@sbcglobal.net
My God. I would never have any money left. I just love cute cupcake liners. Those are my favorites!
Cupcake Retro
my favorite tool is my candy thermometer! and i love sprinkles!!! nyliramlehcar@gmail.com
Oh my. I might need to move to Georgia. I have a sprinkles and cupcake liners obsession. LOVE them. And of course I have to buy any that I don’t already have. So that store would be Trouble. With a capital T.
Wowzers.
Oh, wow! That is one amazing store. I know there’s a Wilton shop somewhere in Illinois and now I definitely want to go visit, oooh.
As for the contest, I think my favorite cake decorating accessory is the tip and coupler combo. I have sat for hours at a time just playing around with the different tips and being amazed at the outcome. Haha. I love figuring out how things work, so it’s a natural love.
I couldn’t survive with out my electric beaters!
teganlovesinternet@gmail.com :)
I heart my silicone cupcake pans. They are the BEST!
My favorite tool is the big icing tip…love it!
It’s a REALLY good thing I don’t live near one of those stores. I don’t have enough money or pantry space! I don’t know how you resist!
Favorite cake tool…my kitchen aid. I couldn’t do cakes with out it.
That store is heaven!
I love my offset spatula!
niney123@yahoo.com
My offset spatula and my Dessert Decorator Pro by Wilton.
jcbrennan@sbcglobal.net
I want to go! That store is SO cool! I just made your cupcake pops for the first time yesterday. I gave them to my Mom for Mother's Day today. She loved them! Here's a picture of them.
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=316497995&albumID=203719&imageID=13127518
I would love anything from that store! I could always use more sprinkles!
I am sooooo obsessed with cake/candy stores! There’s a little one here in Vegas that I frequent often!! A girl can never have too many sprinkles!! :-)
I just learned about a cake leveler. Layered cakes will never be the same! Hooray for brilliant inventions.
I loved this post! I wish I had a store like this near me. I really like my mini bundt cake pan. It makes six little cakes, with three patterns. Very cute. I would LOVE some new sprinkles. I agree with you, it’s sometimes nice just to have them on hand.
i love my torter. it fixes my mistakes :)
Wow, how fun!! My favorite baking thing that I own is my cake plate/stand and dome. It’s not fancy but it sure makes my creations look nice displayed on the counter! And if I ever found elephant shaped sprinkles, my 3-year old daughter would FREAK OUT. So that would be my one item I’d like to find.
hot dang, that is an AWESOME looking store. My son would be besides himself!!! I really need to get him a jr. baking kit to make my life easier :)
Oh My Goodness!!! I wish i could go there! Sprinkles! Well, my favourite baking tool would have to be my mini mini cupcake pan. Its so small its perfect for cupcake pops!! mmmm
That looks like such an awesome store! I just recently used fondant for the first time, and loved it.
Holy cow! How did I live so near that store and *never* know it was there! Thanks for the eye candy :-)
Ooh! My favorite baking tool – it’s hard to say. But for decorating cookies and cupcakes, it’s probably pastry bags and decorating tips. Fun fun fun!
I love my silpat mat. I’m a pie and bread baker and I love not having flour ALL OVER the kitchen. It also works wonders for cookies!
WOW, What a great store! My son thinks sprinkles make every baked good better.
My favorite baking tools are my off-set spatulas, especially the small one. I couldn’t ice with out it.
april@perrypack.com
OMG…I would go crazy in there. Buying lots of stuff just because it is pretty cool! I’ve been trying to find cool sprinkles like the ones you use…NOW i can win them!! :P
I WISH I had a store like that!!! My best bet is Michaels or JoAnn’s, ugh!! My favorite thing is good ol’ piping, I just love how you can change it up. Hope I win!!! Thanks for sharing.
chrisgreedy@hotmail.com
i wish i had a store like that near me! as for baking tools… i could not live without my kitchenaid mixer. i use it every day!
You have made me popular around here with your cake pops! Enter me into the give away please. I love pans. I wish I had way more!
Decorating tips!
I’m very possibly the worst piper in the world, but I just can’t help myself – I love it!
Those pig sprinkles are amazing. I need them! My grandma loves pigs.. Now if I could find some cow ones for my mom I think I would be set :)
codi.goins@gmail.com
I just wish I had a store like that… I live my specialty pans, tart pan, spring form, etc.
jchristiansonsilver at yahoodotcom
i like wooden rollers, making my cookies super flat :D
crarino@gmail.com
I am soooo jealous that you have an amazing store like that!!! I love my KitchenAid. It does everything for me and makes it so easy to make cakes and cupcakes and everything else!
I love love love fondant oh so fun. I definelty love sprinkles
llwheel@gmail.com
I literally gasped when I saw the isle of sprinkles. My little girl LOVES putting sprinkles on everything. We also like using cookie cutters to make fun shaped cookie cutters and biscuits.
If that store was closer, I’d be standing in line waiting for it to open tomorrow!
Thanks for such a great giveaway!
jenrange AT juno dot com
My stand mixer is probably the thing I love and use the most. I’m also so happy with my baking sheets from our local restaurant supply store. Ooh, and cookie scoops! Love those!
Oh my, that place looks like Heaven on Earth!! I would dearly love those pink pigs – just adorable:)
Vanessa xx (NSW, Australia)
Wowser! I know if I went there I would come out with a ton of stuff I didn’t know I needed. But how fun would that be! I love my scrapper tool – not sure what the official name is. But it makes cleaning up after bread and cookies a snap!
Any person with a lot of sprinkles is a happy person.
Hi,
Wow! Fantastic! Would love to go to that store! My favorite is my Miller gingerbread man cookie cutter. It is like my mom’s, and I found it on eBay.
And I love the couplers that let me change tips without changing icing bags.
eashley@2access.net
Oooooh, I could spend DAYS in that store!
My favorite baking tool is my Bosch mini. That thing has been worth its weight in gold!!
rowleym77(AT)hotmail(DOT)com
Holy Moly…what a store! I don’t think I would ever leave just trying to take it all in.
I have a butter knife that’s my favorite. It’s heavy, well-balanced, and beautiful
I would love to go to that store!!! Do they still make the little silver ball candy things to decorate with?? Cannot ever find them!!
I’m liking those spatulas. And the teddy bear sprinkles. Now only if they had otters …
oh I don’t know that I have a favorite… but I would love to have any of those sprinkles!
My favorite has got to be my moms old old old decorating kit!! I’m registering for my wedding and so excited for some new non-hand-me-down pans and tools!
I have to mapquest the address to that store! I’m in TN; I NEED to visit that store. My favorite baking item is my kitchen scale. I would really enjoy using some of these sprinkles – I might need to weigh them first.
I think I need to go to Georgia. That is an awesome store!!! My favorite baking item will have to be my pink kitchen aid. I love it!!!
laura_7845@yahoo.com
My favorite baking tool is my new Demarle Silicone baking mold and trays!
No oil and flour needed, cakes just slip right out!
Thanks for such a great blog and the chance to win sprinkles.
My cupcake muffins is one of my best item I own but sure could use a bigger mixer but the sprinkles will do:)
Wow I wish I had a store like that around where I live. My favorite baking tool is my ice cream scooper which I use to make cupcakes! Yum!
I love the mini spatulas. Especially cause you can get most of the batter out, and then lick the rest without feeling too guilty. You know, before you eat all of the cake (or brownies) by yourself.
Oh man, I think my favorite tool are my biscuit cutters. I use them for much more than biscuits, and it shows! I think I need to get plastic cutters like the ones you have.
My KitchenAid Mixer…but not just because they are awesome, which they are, but mine was my Grandmother’s and she gave it to me before she passed away. That machine has made more people happy, myself included, as it whipped out batch upon batch of cookies, breads, frostings, cakes, etc. over the years. I love that it is mine, and that I can take over the family baking with confidence. If it was good enough for Granny, it is good enough for me! aalatimer@yahoo.com
http://www.thewilkinsinwashington.blogspot.com
What an AMAZING store – thanks for sharing! Well, my favorite baking items are my bread pans. I use them weekly, and ONLY for bread. I finally have good bread pans!!
I must never, never go there because I will die of happiness (and indecision which will lead to buying one of everything!).
As for my favorite baking tool, it would have to be my silicone spoonulas – I must have at least 5 and could use a few more. And more sprinkles :)
The rows of sprinkles just made my 4 year old flip out!
My favorite baking tool is my dual sided spreader from Pampered Chef. It’s little so it’s perfect fro cupcakes and small edges of specialty cakes. The dual edges (straight and serrated?) help with texture.
Contact: clilleskov@yahoo.com
Wow! I need to find a store like that where I live. Then again, my DH is probably happy that I haven’t found one though.
My favorite baking tool would have to be the piping bag couplers. Makes changing tips sooo much easier!
Wow. I need to go to that store, STAT! I used a pastry bag with a tip for the first time today (to inject raspberry filling into chocolate cupcakes!) and it was so fun… new favorite kitchen toy!
Valentine’s Day is the holiday we go a little crazy with sprinkles around here. Can’t live without every color and variety we can get our hands on to celebrate and decorate with!
That store is DA BOMB! Nothing like it here in Billings, MT LOL
I love my set of graduated cutters…
flscrappinmom@gmail.com
Wowzer!!! what a great place to spend an afternoon AND a paycheck!!!
My fav baking tool is my small cake decorating kit…5-6 tips, plastic bags and I can do anything…well, I like to believe I can do anything!

mycreativemind@pamgwillim.com
OMG! I would be all over the tinted butter cream in a heartbeat!! That is my least favorite thing to mix, so now, that’ll be my most favorite thing to have! Now, if I only had some sprinkles to top that butter cream with… lol
I love cupcake wrappers! And my pans… alll the cake pans…. ohhhh I have such an addiction to cake pans….
oursunnyview.blogspot.com
i’m seriously considering flying down to GA from MI just to go to that store. *jealous* !!
my favorite tool for cake decorating has to be my bench scraper. make the smoothest edges on a cake. ever. it’s a thing of beauty!
olivia (livvie @ gmail . com)
Wow! I would be insanely broke if that store was near me! That, and my cupboards would be overflowing with all those fun sprinkles!!!
My favorite baking tool is actually my Air-Bake cookie sheets. Ok, so that isn’t really a tool, per se, but I can’t make cookies without them – even though I have other cookie sheets (and jelly rolls pans) for other things. I have about 12 Air-Bake cookie sheets. LOVE ’em!
http://celestejohnson.blogspot.com
My kids would love for us to have more fun sprinkles on hand, anything fun really, we just ran out. I love using decorator bags or whatever they are called. I am not good at it, but it is fun to try. allen4ash at yahoo dot com
My heart started to race just looking at those pictures. I must go to that store. I love sprinkles. I am looking for some cute way to display the different ones that I have in my kitchen somehow. Any ideas! Hope I win! Thanks for sharing!!!
cassidysudduth@hotmail.com
my favorite baking tool is ziploc baggies… you can use them for frosting bags, crush nuts in them with a rolling pin… they’re just magic! and i wonder if there are hello kitty sprinkles out there in the world….? love your site :)
I love my powdered sugar sprinkler! heathermildenstein@gmail.com
They are not really gadgets, but I love sprinkles and cupcake wrappers. You can never have enough sprinkles!
OMG I love that store! I had no idea you lived in Atlanta :) I went there and bought all things Spiderman for my sons 4 year old birthday party. That was my first visit and I was in heaven! Loved looking at all the sprinkles :)
I love chocolate sprinkles
I am thinking that I need to go get me some of those dual sided graduated cutters, those are awesome! I would love to have some fun sprinkles. http://www.laraseaver.blogspot.com/
I love candied flowers!
estherkim11@gmail.com
I am drooling over your pictures!! I must find a store like that in my area…
My favorite baking “tool” is parchment paper. What did I ever do without it?!?
I adore my offset spatula. I’d be lost without it.
I think you just gave me sprinkle envy.
Totally understand the “what did I just do” feeling when you come home with a bag full of baking potential!
A good scraper/spatula! In a bright fun color of course!
i loooove my flower cookie cutters! they’re great for fondant and you can put flower designs on cakes and cupcakes. there’s a store in canada called the bulk barn, and they have a very nice selection of sprinkles there. i always leave with tons of little baggies filled with sprinkles.
dominika_3_r@hotmail.com
Oh my gosh, that store looks dangerous for my wallet @_@ I could never live without my silicon baking mat though. Cookies were so irritating before that!
zestytengu@gmail.com
What a fun place to spend a few hours! Right now my favorite tool is my cookie cutters. Recently I have been using a three tiered wedding cake cookie cutter. They are so fun to decorate!
I'm *just* now getting into cupcake baking, and gaining the confidence to start trying new things. Tonight, I thought it was a huge deal when I bought raspberry extract. Sad, I know.
I love, love, love sprinkles, but the kinds in the grocery store are quite limited. This is like a dream come true to me… good lord. :) *crosses fingers & toes*
I would love some fun sport sprinkles for my son’s first birthday party!
I would have a blas in that store.

Shopping there would be like going to Disneyland! I can’t find cute sprinkles in my area….I would be in heaven to shop there!
i love sprinkles! :D
and i electric mixers haha,
way better than mixing everything your self.
romance_iero@yahoo.com
I love the decorating bottles you can use for royal icing or melted chocolate. I don’t even know what they’re called, but I can work magic with them.
I love cute sprinkles and would LOVE to win some! Thanks!
jmojmo24 at gmail dot com
Still learning. Not sure what my favorite tool is yet. I have been playing around with decorating tips though! How do people decorate cupcakes without these? cassiepawling@gmail.com
Hello…I’m moving to Georgia…immediately! My favorite tool is my offset spatula.
Well, I loved my cookie scoop until it broke so now I will have to say my mixer. My MIL received it as a gift 34 years ago as a wedding present and it’s still holding strong for me!
Hi bakerella! I love your blog, and I hope I’m lucky enough to score some sprinkles! Keep inspiring!
To bake, my favorite “tool” is my stoneware. I tend to forget to watch the oven and it’s never let me burn anything. For other stuff, my fave tool is the internet!! :-) I get so many idea from the ‘net – especially this one blog I just LOVE!! ;-)
That looks like a dangerously fun store! Oh the possibilities!
Wow!!! increíble!!! porqué no hay una tienda como esas aquí en México. Yo quiero todo!!!
I love my kitchen aid and my flower pans… also, I love the baking cups.
Not so much a tool but a product: I am in love with Baker’s Joy. You know the cooking spray with the flour in it already?! I’m crazy for it. :)
omg. want. it all :) i think some stars and moons sprinkles would make a great border to a cake and i love my springform pan.. makes removal so easy!
Wow…. wow. That store is just incredible.
Wow.
Can you tell I’m a little speechless?
About sprinkles- I had no idea there was such a selection! My favorite (and to ‘fess up- probably the only one I’ve actually had experience with!) are colored sugar sprinkles. I like the way they glitter. But it looks like I need to move beyond that world and try out all these other kinds!
I want ladybug sprinkles!!!
There is a place similar (or at least used to be) in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. I used to buy all sorts of color sugar crystals there. They didn’t have nearly all the extra baking stuff, just sprinkles. I LOVE sprinkles!
My KitchenAid mixer is definitely the favorite-I say that with a very clear memory of what it was like mixing things by hand as a kid.
MMmmm so many amazing colors!
wow, that store looks amazing!! My favorite baking tool is probably my red tovolo spatula and of course my stand mixer! I’d love to find animal shaped sprinkles :)
Grrr, so jealous of you. I think my favourite thing is also the colored fondant, saves so much time! I do like to make my own marshmallow fondant, it tastes better and its a little more pliable and stays soft instead of cracking like regular fondant.
OMG! I want a store like that in the Kansas City area. I had a horrible time finding small silver edible balls. I love this store!
The tools I cannot do without is….Kitchen Aide Mixer!!!!
I love my silicone muffin cups. I forgot about them one time and gave away about 5 of them and never got them back.
I also like these super shiny black sprinkles I found. They made my awesome Halloween cookies sparkle.
Those PBR’s on a stick are so cute! I really wish I had a baking store like that anywhere near me.
Couldn’t do without the ever trusty spatula! That shop is awesome, I’d get lost in there and not come out for days!
My most important baking tool is my oven. I love it!
Favorite decorating item at the moment…the blue gel that I used to make Gokey glasses on some banana bars.
I would LOVE to hit up that store! My hubby would have to take away all my money though!
Never been -but love to go! I love my pampered chef tiny spatula!!
My bank account is very lucky that I live far away from that store…Thanks for sharing!
I’d have to say that, even though I’m very new to the world of baking, my favorite decorating item is luster dust. I think it looks lovely and gives a totally new effect when used!

Well my FAVORITE tool is my KitchenAid! It has changed my life!

I can not live without an array of off-set spatulas. I also love buying pre-made royal icing flowers! So easy and elegant on cupcakes.
I could spend a day at that store… I must find one here in the midwest… my favorite tools are my cool shape pans for festive small portion cakes for parties!
hmmm i like those blue teddy bears. they are very very cute.
My favorite tool is an offset spatula. Such a simple thing but love it.

O wow the store looks like heaven on earth! i would spend 8hrs in there…well my favorite tool is the bone shaped cookie cutter for my pups!

I love my Chocolate molds..I use them for just about every occasion in some way. I have 3 boxes of molds and still going!
I LOVE cookie cutters! Cookie cutters in all shapes and sizes! Thanks for the Chance!!

must i choose just one????
my favorite is my kitchen aid mixer :D hahahahahaha (large item)
and i too find myself collecting sprinkles just in case!
I wish I lived by a store like that! I love all my Wilton cake decorating tips and I would even more LOVE to get some cute sprinkles!
o man, overwhelming. I just started decorating cakes and my fav thing are tips. I love them!wedding09@ymail.com
I love my cookie scoops. I use them for everything!
Oooo I’m going to have to look for a baking supply store near me. I’m trying out different things with baking and am just trying my hand at decorating. I had a fun time making your easter pops and can’t wait to make more. But my very favorite baking tool is my Kitchen Aid Mixer my mom bought me :-)
My favorite thing to decorate with is sprinkles! I collect them. I have so many different colors and shapes! They work on everything, cupcakes, cookies, cakes…the sprinkles give them little tiny bits of character! I would love to win some more sprinkles!
My favorite baking item is parchment paper…I wouldn’t be without it now.

I’m a sprinkles addict as well. I just can’t pass them up. I would be in serious trouble in that store!
Oh, my God, it’s beautiful!!! I never getting things like this… It’s hard to come in Hungary… but thanks the showing around! =)

That store is awesome!!! My favorite tools are the cookies cutters my 3 year old boy picked for me for Mother’s Day today. They are totally random (snowman, a shoe, a cupcake, and a snowflake) but I love them because he came up with the idea!
ktpreusser@sbcglobal.net
Awesome store!!
Got to go with the large offset spatula. Life changer. Or at the very least, frosting changer!
I saw some dinosaur sprinkles once, and never saw them again. But I love all sprinkles!
I don’t like to eat sprinkles but I LOVE the stuff that you can do with them — especially all the cute features on your cake pops. Finding a variety of sprinkles is definetly a challenge ..
Oh my word… I must visit this store. I’m thinking a drive to Georgia is in the works. *nods*
My favorite tool? Since I primarily dabble in cakes, would have to be my large cake leveler. It’s seen me through some pretty awesome cakes.
I love cake pans!!! It is so much easier to make a creative cake when you have a variety of pans!

I have GOT to find that store. It would be worth the trip to GA!
I don’t suppose you saw any moon and stars sprinkles or cupcake liners did you?
My favorite baking tool has got to be my wet/dry measuring cup from pampered chef. It was expensive, but I love it. I’ve gone through 3 of them over the years!
Great site…I love the cake pops! Made them last weekend for a Derby party, and they disappeared in about 3 seconds- and this from a family that claims they don’t like red velvet cake. Keep it up!
When I saw the marzipan, my first thought was, “Why do they have polenta at a cake supply shop?” Shows how much I know about cake decorating.
One tool I do like to use when frosting cakes is an off-set spatula. That little off-set makes such a big difference. I have a big one and little one. I have yet to use the little one. Only bought it because it’s cute.
OMG! I wanna go there and get lost!
My must have item is my mini offset spatula, an icers best friend! LOVE it. I love sprinkles and the ultra fine sanding sugar to coat cupcakes and cakes!

Can’t live without my kitchen aid. Would really love some fancy sprinkles!
I wish we had one of those stores near me – well actually not because then I would buy EVERYTHING! My favorite tool is probably my Kitchen Aid mixer, though I love my cupcake courier too!
Wow, I wish I had a store like that near me! I just made your cake pops for the first time this weekend. You can see my attempt at Ladybug Pops for my daughters upcoming 5th birthday on my blog at http://threechicksandonegrumpydude.blogspot.com/ . I’m going to do bumble bees next. I’d love to win those sprinkles.

Omg. I have to move to your town. I must visit that store, repeatedly, every day. I could spend hours in the baking aisle at the grocery store! I can only imagine how long I would spend in that store!
My favorite gadget, if you could call it that, has to be cookie cutters. I’m a sucker for any kind of cookie cutter. No matter if it’s the most random thing on Earth that I can’t actually imagine myself making. I have to have it on the off chance I might someday need to make that crazy random cookie. And then of course I have to top that random cookie with beautiful sprinkles. :)

I need a store like that! Awesome!!!
My favorite tool is my flat spatula – I use it for everything not just icing cakes!!

Anything having to do with Halloween sends me into a tizzy. And I have always wanted to make a Barbie type dress cake, where you stick the plastic figurine at the top and go nuts with an elaborate skirt in buttercream. Love the site, Bakerella!

I love different coupcake liners, they’re just so fun!
I love sprinkles! and I love my mini muffin pan – it makes the cutest little cupcakes.
oooh, I love it all! I love any candy I can use to create life-like images out of. Like using licorice on the tassels of the graduation candy pops – brilliant (and a big hit at my sister-in-laws graduation). All of those sprinkles look awesome!

Oh my! This store must be cake decorating heaven!!!
I LOVE sprinkles! That store looks dangerous! I love all baking goodies, but I really hope to fill a spice rack with sprinkles, like you have shown before. Being the winner of all these sprinkles would give me a great start! I love your blog! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, I seriously can’t decide my favorite decorating item. Maybe the sprinkles and other decorations. There are just so many, in so many glorious colors and shapes! Can you tell I’m in love… with baking??! I’m also about to go look up how far away I am from Tucker, GA! That store looks amazing!
