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.

Please contact me at tokyoshoes (at) hotmail (dot) com
Love my KitchenAid mixer!

Oh, my!!! We NEED a shop like that in Spain. NOW. Envy kills me.
I’m looking for some kind of conffetti I can use to get a conffetti cake. I’ve tried lots of thing but nothing works properly. I think this shop is like paradise, better to go shoping and forget your VISA at home. It looks so dangerous…
It’s probably a good thing that store is no where near me because I might go crazy (somehow online shopping is easier to keep me from tempting buys)…I’d love sprinkles though. My favorite kitchen gadget is my new kitchenaid mixer (i’ve been wanting one for 10 years!!! and finally got one for mother’s day).
spondah(at)aol(dot)com
Hi, a shop like that would be my dream come true, in Spain we don´t even get 1/100 out of that.
I love just EVERYTHING!!!!from the shop specially the red fondant….it´s just a pain to make it…imagine here!!, we don´t get gels and basic stuff like u !!
Dimpy
I would love to visit Georgia just to walk the aisles of this store!!Thanks for sharing.
My faves would be my icecream scoop i use to place batter into cupcake liners and my offset spatula.
With regards to sprinkles, I love THEM ALL!!!!!
Oh my!!! I don’t think I would be able to leave. Looks like HEAVEN to me!
Sandi :)
Melbourne, Australia.
I would love to shop in that store!!!
i love the colorful sprinkles and the amazing cookie cutters~
Wow!! Talk about candy heaven and sugar overload! My favorite tool is my stand mixer. I always wanted one and finally broke down and bought one! How did I get along without one for so long?!?!? I love spreading the word about your site. Thanks for your gift of friendship that you share with us!
OMG, this looks like heaven!
Would loved to shop here :oD
And Marzipan is really fun to “play” with, use it when I make norwegian cream cake. Use a whith cake, fill it with vanilla custard, strawberry jam, and cover it with whipped cream, before covering it all with a lid of marzipan!
http://www.annhedvigs.blogspot.com
HMMM, I dont know if i have a favorite, since i dont have much at all. But I really love my MIL’s chocoalte frosting recipe. and I’d love to have a pizza stone. If i had one it would be my favorite!
Oh my gosh, I want to come live in that store! I love sprinkles, although I hardly ever use them. Like you, I just like knowing that I have them JUST IN CASE.
I’m pretty new at baking, so when it comes to baking tools, I really don’t have that many… Out of the few I have though, my favourite would have to be the set of measuring spoons. I’m not sure how I ever managed without them before.
oh you just killed me with envy. that shop is amazing. Here I only find small variations of each item and i rarely find nicely decorated cupcake cups. My favourite decorating tool are the icing nozzles since I can create so many design and decorations :)
oh. my. god. Storegasm.
My favorite tool has to be my frosting bags/tips my brother got me 2 christmases ago. Never got to use them until this year and they’re WONDERFUL. Used them for frosting a prop cake for a prod II film, as well as frosting my moms mother’s day cupcakes.
My favourite baking tool are silicone pans. I love them. I wish here in Italy we had all these decorations!
I LOVE my airbrush! You should try it out!! :) :) :)
http://www.MandiCrocker.blogspot.com
WOW, this place should be called “Cake Decorator’s HEAVEN”!!! I just loved it!! I’m like you Bakerella, I just LOOOOVE having sprinkles, even though I don’t use them much :D
j_ayass@yahoo.com
omg! I never knew such a store existed!! iDie. I love my my little 5 inch cake pans that I use to make smash cakes for my toddler's friends birthdays!! (And me and my little tiny guys like to decorate them just as an everyday thing, too. They're just not big enough to make a daunting mess!! <3 you, Bakerella!
wow. i need one of those stores around me.. pronto! :) i just love sprinkles of all sorts.
kim@lovintheoven.com
WOW, this place should be called “Cake Decorator’s HEAVEN”!!! I just loved it!! I’m like you Bakerella, I just LOOOOVE having sprinkles, even though I don’t use them much :D
Oh – i love this!! And I love my spring form to bake delicious German cheesecake in! :D Wouldn’t mind some fun sprinkles… lol
That store is amazing. I would kill for a store around her that looks like that. WOW! I love sprinkles too, but I am stuck buying them at a little cake store over 40 minutes from my house or a Michaels or Joann Fabrics (believe it or not). I would love some butterfly sprinkles or something very summer-like – suns perhaps. Princess sprinkles are always a hit in my house since I have a 3 year old.
jenndele@comcast.net
hmmm, my favorite baking thingee…right now, it’s got to be these nested melamine mixing bowls i bought at williams-sonoma. omg, they’re so much lighter (and less breakable) than the glass bowls i had been using.

Hi there, i absolutely love ur lollipop cakes. My favourite baking equipment is my Russel Hobbs mixer, without which i’ll find it really difficult to mix tons of cake mix. omorg@yahoo.com
My favorite kitchen gadget is my rice cooker! But I would love some sprinkles to make some cute baked goodies! I live on the south side of Atlanta – wish we had one of those stores over here! All the good stuff is on the north side!
Jan J. janschop@aol.com
This looks like baker’s heaven to me. I don’t bake much, but with some of those decorations I’d love to do something!
I freaked when I saw your contest thing. My favorite decorating item would be PAPER CANDY CUPS! They make all of my confections look much more professional. Everything looks great on it, chocolate covered strawberries, pecan bars, peanut clusters, bourbon balls and so much more!
tiffanynguyenlieu@gmail.com
I was practically drooling over those pictures. My favorite items are colored sugars, especially the metallic ones.
icingetc@gmail.com

Are you serious? You live in/near Tucker?! I grew up near there.
Woooooow.. What a store.. I guess everything really is bigger in the US ;) My favorite baking tool is my lovely pink mixing bowl that I got from my best friend =)
That store looks like heaven! I am obsessed with sprinkles! I think sprinkles are my favorite “tool” because they make everything look amazing! I sent you this picture of my sprinkle collection. I would love some of those rainbow chocolate chips sprinkles, so pretty!

J
jmelrudy@htomail.com
Wow love everything…I love my own kitchenAid and the spatual i use to frost the cupcakes …
I love multi-colored chocolate bottuns and heart sprinkles :)
nwr218@yahoo.com
My elusive tool is a zester. I had one when a moved abroad and now it’s gone missing and no one here seems to sell them! A grater just isn’t the same.
I love the air cookie sheets! My BFF and I made chocolate chip cookies on hers and they came out absolutely perfect. I can’t wait to get some of my own. :)
My favorite tool is an ice cream scoop to make those cupcakes a uniform size.
Pick me for sprinkles!
:O that store left me seriously impressed!
Its such a shame that I’ve seldom seen more than your everyday round colored or chocolate sprinkes, and the unusual heart ones around here…
My fave tools would be my pastry bags and my good ol’ wooden spoon; quite basic, and both indispensable.
Here’s for the sprinkles!!! :)
cherry__blossom89@hotmail.com
My glass bottom Wilton springform pan!
Amazing post!
I am running out of sprinkles…my fave is Fall Sprinkles and Heart Sprikles too…and oh I love sand sugar :)
Regards,
Parfume62@yahoo.com
I dont know if this is a valid tool to list but my kitchen aid stand mixer. I can do anything in it from cookie dough, cupcake batter to homemade marshmallows…the possibilities are endless. My little girls would love some sprinkles…they are sprinkle obsessed and love to cook with my husband and I!! Also we live in a tiny town where you only buy sprinkles at walmart {not at all thrilling}
Please pick us!!!
http://www.fabfoodandfun.blogspot.com
WOW. That store looks amazing.
I used to have brown, yellow and orange leaf sprinkles that were just perfect for the fall and i have a recipe for amazing pumpkin cupcakes that i’d love to frost and top with those sprinkles.
Oh my god. This is HEAVEN! Why do I live in New Zealand and not wonderful America?
hmm.. My favourite baking tool would have to be my 18/10 steel mixing bowl, followed up by my big silicon spatual that was a gift from my brother.
my favorite decorating and baking item are my hands =) to be honest nothing gets the job quite done like my small hands that are perfect for detailed work. my name is norka and my email is ne_smile@yahoo.com
my favorite is the stand mixer and my email is lennymfu138@yahoo.com
My fav baking tool is my spring form pan I have then in all sizes
oh my, oh my, oh my!!! I think I have died and gone to heaven. I moved to FL 3.5 yrs ago and there are NO cake/candy supplies stores anywhere that I can find. hmmm, I guess one of my fave items is actually unflavored dental floss – makes cutting cake squares super easy!! I love sprinkles too, and not that I use them much either, but would love those little palm trees, oh – or some that look like buttons??
I would love to make a trip to this store!!!!!
I could not live without my offset spatula and cake turntable! That store looks like bad news for me, I would go broke! Thanks so much for sharing :)
Oh, boy. I think I’m drooling. That looks like such a fun store. I think I can already hear my bank account (and husband) crying. =)
How funny! I’m a sprinkle-a-holic too! I used to decorate cakes at a Baskin Robbins (great way to get FAST at icing and decorating because you only have about three minutes to decorate an ice cream cake). I used to by sprinkles and sanding sugars in bulk (like a couple pounds at a time). just today I found the cutest bottles at a local garden store in the clearance isle. They’re half-rounds with flat sides. My sprinkled look cute in them that I think i’m going back and buying the rest of what they had left. I’ll send a picture when they’ve made their trip through the dishwasher and are filled. Just too cute! =-)~ thanks for the “eye candy” missi (wishingstarr@centurytel.net)
What a wonderful store to shop in!!
I love sprinkles!
My God!!!!!!!!………….I want to go there before I die….. haahahah… most prbably I would die of pleasure when I get there!!!!!!
Loved this post!! I am so jealous!!!
B
How fun! I have been looking for… believe it or not… pink piggy sprinkles forever!! My little guy is having a Barnyard themed 1st birthday party and I am going to attempt your yummy and oh so cute cake pops!! Have you seen any cow print baking cups also???
:0)
omg-that was amazing!!!!!!
what a great store!!!my favorite baking tool is parchment paper—wouldn’t bake without it!!!!!
Oh those sprinkles are so cute!
Oh Bakerella, I am GREEN with envy. You don’t know how lucky you are to have a hsop like that! Here in Paris, the pickings are slim – you see the same 4-5 bottles of sprinkles in every supermarket ane even the specialty baking stores don’t carry much more than a few sad-looking (and often stale) assortment bottles from Wilton’s.
I a am a sprinkles whore and if I had a store like that here, you can bet your bottom dollar I would go broke on all those lovely quins, pearls, sprinkles, glitter, etc!
I have been looking for some candy cane sprinkles for the festive season! I have had red and green Christmas trees, but think that candy canes would be adorable! I live in the UK and we just don’t get shops like this, I am so very jealous!
Wow! Such inspiration! I’d ? to win some sprinkles!
? Jen
http://www.timeoutforme.blogspot.com
my favorite type of baking decoration usually depends on the nearest holiday. right now i really like to make a fruit topping…especially something simple like strawberries cooked with sugar. yummy.
So jealous…it looks like the perfect place to spend hours and hours and a paycheck or two. Fav tool has to be my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. Love it!
amandamkuhn@yahoo.com
My favorite baking tool is my Kitchenaid mixer. It gives me confidence to bake because it look so professional!
Thanks for the chance!
I think I need teddy bear sprinkles in my life!
My baby (who will be four in march) wants hippo sprinkles on cupcakes. Do they even make sprinkles in hippo shapes? Last year she wanted an ice cream butterfly cake (I actually made it and blogged about it :) ) She likes to challenge me.
I couldn’t tell you what sprinkles i’m missing, because unfortunately we don’t get sprinkles down here in india!!
i’d love any I could find!
Wow. That store looks like heaven :) My favorite tool(s) are my decorating tips.
What delicious eye candy…and I thought I was scary just going down the cake aisle at Michael’s! Wow…what a fun place! I also have quite a collection of sprinkles and really love them on my ice cream. I love the little crunch. I am also a big fan of piping…I didn’t realize you could make such pretty things with such an easy tool! thanks for the giveaway! :)
Ashley
ugh! Fun Store!!!! – Gonna have to visit the web version though! I have to say my fav thing are those Luster Sprinkles or really i guess it’s dust. LOVE IT!
http://www.ikesinuk.blogsport.com
I so wish that Australia had shops like this – all those sprinkles so many to choice from !! I have my daughters 7 birthday coming up .. and am making your doggie cake pops!! she loves dogs!! .. thanks for being such an inspiration :)
PS – i made the chocolate brownie/chocolate chip slice the other week – OMG its to die for yum yum yum !!
nicoleanderson@y7mail.com
The cake turntable for decorating. It is a lifesaver! And the cookie scoop. I do not know how people use spoons to get batter into pretty little uniform sized balls.
WOW, that place is AMAZING!
My absolute can-not-live-without-it baking tool is my Kitchen Aid mixer! But my favorite decorating tools are my Wilton spatulas (straight, angled, love them all!).
I NEED sprinkles! With 5 kiddos and a bazillion baking projects for them, I am FOREVER running out!
I would love to find some plain round balls (colors, metallics, etc).
LOVE your blog! Thank you!
Stephanie
szahlmann@gmail.com
That store is GREAT!! I think anyone who enjoys baking even a little would get overwhelmed and over indulgent in a store like that!! ;o)
My fav things are my mini baking items!!!
anderson_k03@hotmail.com
I NEED a store like that over here in South Africa….it is impossible to find any good baking supplies here!!! I would happily have ANY sprinkles.
That store is amazing! Favorite baking supply is my scoop I use for chocolate-chip cookies!
WOW! That is my kind of store. Good thing it is far away:) I love my cake stand that spins – so much easier – especially when decorating round cakes. And couplers – changing tips without changing bags – genius!
my favorite tool is my kitchenaid…how i survived without it for almost 20 years i will never know!!!
now i just need to plan my vacation around one of these stores!!!
I can’t make a cake without my offset spatula. I’d love to live near a store like that. I’m jealous.
I love sprinkles!! They can hide a multitude of flaws! Growing up with a mom that was a cake decorator I was surrounded with kitchen things but my favorite when I was little was the spring form pans. I would play for hrs when I was washing them and pop the bottoms! Now my favorite kitchen gadget is my husband because he will clean up after I make some yummy things!
http://amybradmartin.blogspot.com/
My favorite baking/decorating tool has got to be my new piping bag set – reusable polyurethane bag and 9 tips, that I’m currently learning all the uses for.
I always have that ‘store makes me spend money’ problem at Kitchen Stuff Plus. Went in for an apron one day and ended up spending fifty bucks on utensils!
greenknight1717@hotmail.com
Whoa… I had no idea those places existed AND online! You are going to get me in serious trouble. lol
My favorite tool believe it or not is my wilton spatula. It’s 2 sided one side is bigger than the other and I believe it is made of silicone. It also functions as a scraper and it’s sides are contoured like a bowl. So I can scrape the cake batter straight from the mixer and get every single drop of it out. I can flip it over and then take out say, all the icing from a container (store bought or my own). It gets right in the crannies. I love it!
Now on to the link!
What a fun giveaway! I just got my first big cupcake baking job and these might come in handy!
I want that store. All of it. It is a good thing that I am nowhere near it and can just enter this instead :)
Oh. My. Gosh. I am so jealous. I’m considering the drive from MO to GA, just for that store! My favorite tool is the filler tip–I’ve been putting all kinds of jams and cream fillings in my cupcakes!
Here’s my e-mail address, in case I win: hutsell.w@gmail.com
~Whitney
My favorite decorating item is my decorating tip. I have a lot, but not as much as what they have in store… ;) I would love some more sprinkles though. Thanks Bakerella!
Any kind of cute cookie cutters!
I love sucker sticks…
and I love small little cello bags.
Put just about anything on a sucker stick and it’s cute.
Wrap ANYTHING in a cello bag and it’s cute!
I love the spatulas i have been meaning to get some but I only have a Michaels close by and they r sooo expensiveee love the sprinkles too
pattysgourmet@yahoo.com
I love my Bundt pan. I make Lemon Pound Cake alot for potlucks and family gatherings!
I would love to have sprinkles as I have 6 nieces and nephews 9 and under.
That store looks amazing! I haven’t seen anything like it! My must have is marshmallow fondant. It is the only fondant I like using, because it is easy to make and tastes a lot better. My only complaint is that it is hard to get the really rich colors.
I love my Pampered Chef Easy Accent Decorator. But, I think I might need some sprinkles to go on top. Holy cow! LOL!
I love my bakeware! Offset spatulas are another favorite!
katielisa777@gmail.com
i’ve been dying to get my hands on some edible glitter and not that flaked “cake sparkle” stuff… REAL REAL sparkly glitter glitter haha!
I’m soo jealous. There is nothing like that store where I live!
I love my small spatula and parchment paper most of all :)
http://www.figandrubysweets.blogspot.com
you? on cake wrecks? pish! never!
Wow! I could spend hours there! And I could see myself collecting sprinkles too!
My favorite are probably red hot candy heart sprinkles!!
mandee220(at)aol(dot)com
Wow. I wish I was anywhere near Georgia so I could visit this place! I love my decorating tips and my offset spatula the most.
Yeah! I love my cookie cutters but my kids keep stealing them for play dough!! :)
WHAT A STORE! I wish there was one that good in LA! I think my favorite tool would have to be my tilting turntable. It makes decorating the sides of cakes WAY easier!
Oh my goodness. I’m salivating.
Right now I’m a poor college student so all I have is a 9 x 13 glass pyrex baking dish… I’m so ashamed… :(
(e-mail: gracecarlson@wsu.edu)
WOW! I didnt know shops like this even existed! i dont think they do in Australia.
I would lovvve some pretty pink shaped sprinkles to decorate cupcakes.
Thanks heaps for the chance to enter :)

http://rosesrred85.blogspot.com/
I would go broke in that store if I could! I don’t have a lot of baking supplies as of yet – I’m just getting into making cupcakes and cake pops now that I have a child – but one thing I know I need and would really love is the spreading spatula. Here’s hoping I get randomly chosen for sprinkles! Thanks for giving them away.
email address: freckclan@gmail.com
My two little girls who love cupcakes and anything pink would LOVE some pink piggy sprinkles!
I would say my favorite thing for baking would be rubber spatulas. Gotta have a few! Thank you for the chance to win!
Wow! I never knew a place like that existed. I can’t imagine how broke I would go in a store like that.
The tool I use the most is my little cookie scoop:)
Can you hear me crying all the way across the continent because I don’t have this store? Please send me some sprinkles! My favorite tool is my marble rolling pin!… or maybe the holder it sits in because it’s so heavy it rolls off every surface!
I could live in that store! How I wish we had something like that where I live. My mom has a collection of Wilton decorating tips and I treasure them!
irina.sagarbarria(at)gmail(dot)com
I love your site!!! My favorite baking tool are my cupcake pans. I have 7 of them. 2 mini, 2 jumbo and 3 regular size. I love them for cupcakes, muffins, mini quiches, molding things the skies the limit. I love cupcakes!!!
i love to use frosting to decorate cakes so my favorite tool would have to be the disposable bags for frosting.
this store is amazing! do you know if there’s anything like this in the los angeles area?
I love my spatulas. All of them but mostly the smallest one. Great for perfect tiny details.
Btw, I love working with marzipan. I allways put at least 30% marzipan in fondant covers. They taste so much better. I do covers in 100% marzipan too. With some training you can do a 1/8″ thick covers to cakes.
wowww I’m drooling just looking at all this stuff! I love the tree sprinkles!! I’m going to sound nerdy, but my favorite thing to have when I’m baking is my spatula bc it just makes all the difference between a beautiful cake and a sick-nasty one (I’ve made a lot of sick-nasties! just ask my roommates or my brothers – they still eat them of course ;) )
-Courtney ckcottrell@gmail.com
Oh my, I think I am in sprinkle heaven! I would be happy with ANY fun sprinkles since the best there is where I live is WalMart! (Sad I know!)
I love my little red Williams-Sonoma spatula. It frosts cupcakes perfectly.
i love my silpat. :)
I am just starting to bake… for years I told anyone who would listen that I cook, but I don’t bake. However, that’s slowly changing… (hooray!) So far I have to say my favorite baking tools are good pans–they make all the difference!
I wish we had a store like that around here! My favorite baking tool is my KITCHEN AID! I do everything with that.
Favorite baking item: my Bosch. That counts right? I hope so, cause I LOVE IT.
OMG! i live in the middle of the ocean… lol. so, i can only dream about browsing (n going bankrupt) in a store like this… i wish i had access to these kinds of things… guess i’ll hafta check out there site n see if they ship to hawaii… favorite? silicone cupcake pans… lol.
i love using sprinkles and edible coloring pens to decorate my cakes!
What an great store! I could get in trouble there too. I didn’t even know there were so many different kinds of sprinkles. I’m used to the limited selection of five or so at the grocery store.
Oh what a fun store! I think I would buy out all the sprinkles too just to have them in the cupboard! That’s been the big obsession for me and my girls lately.
Oh, I have to tell you too we made cupcake pops for a mother daugher tea and they were so much fun. . . and yummy too! I can’t wait to make them again and again!
You can find my blog through my blogger id. Thanks!
WOW!! My little 9 month old daughter’s birthday is coming up, and so is my brother’s graduation- i need to find a store like that in my locale so i can have a little shopping spree of my own. I have cupcakes and cake pops to bake!!! sabdulquadir@gmail.com
Sanding sugar has always been my fave. I wish we Californians could have dragees…*sigh*
lcsiojo AT usfca DOT edu
my favorite baking tool is parchment paper. My sister gave me a huge pack of it from a restaurant supply store.
Love to go shopping to baking stores, sprinkles give a touch of happiness to baked goodies
moralesrossana@hotmail.com
I’ve been into dipping things into chocolate lately. And, I love to embellish with jimmies (those are the little round balls right?) of different colors. They add a great little crunch.
I love my cookie scooper thing that I don’t really know the name of. It works like an old fashioned ice cream scoop but is in small sizes perfect for cookies, meatballs, cake pops . . .
I have to tell you.. that making your own fondant is actually really easy, and it does taste GREAT!! Its so nice to see clients actually eating an entire piece of cake, or cupcake without peeling a layer of yucky fondant off first! and just so you know, im a newbie at this whole thing, so if I can do it.. so can you!!
Wow, that is a kid-in-the-candy-store kind of place.
I’m a cookie cutter girl myself. Big cool ones.
Oh. My. God. I thought I was in heaven at Bulk Barn. This is nuts. I’d be in a pile on the floor. My fave baking tool is for sure my spatula for icing cakes. I don’t know how I lived without it!!
I love sprinkles. They are so fun and say so much!!
WOW! I wish I had a place like that near me!! So I would have to say my favorite cooking gadget would have to be my spatula scraper!! I love it when I can scrape the bowl clean!!! :) I’m looking for sprinkles for two baby showers I’m throwing… ones cars, trains and planes and the other is football.

I’ve heard there’s a place in Seattle that is like this. I really want/hesitate to check it out. Could be fun/disastrous/expensive. :)
I may just have to make a trip to GA (in a big ole van so I can haul it all back). I can just see you now, staring at all those sprinkles, trying to figure out wht they can become on a Cake Pop. My favorite tool…I just discovered silicon pans. I resisted because I thought they were a fad? Long time tool…offset spatula. Works for everything including PBJ sandwiches.
Baking was never the same after I got my Silpat — the best ever addition to my kitchen!!! If you’re a bread baker and you don’t have a Silpat then you need to get one today (http://www.silpat.com/).
My favorite tool is my mixer… does that count!? I had been pining for one for the looongest time and used to have to beat most of my stuff by hand. This Winter my mom and I just bought one for ourselves. It’s wonderful :D

my favorite decorating tool is the turntable. it definitely makes icing so much easier.
I love sprinkles. My son’s favorite is his sharks and my daughter loves her hearts.
I love my antique handed down bundt cake pan. Nothing says love like a bundt cake

I love my Misto. Fill it up with vegetable oil, give it a few pumps, and use it to spray pans before baking! I have three of them for different types/flavors of oil!
Oh I would LOVE to find cow or tractor sprinkles to make some Father’s Day cupcakes for my farmer dad.
I wish there was a place like that near me! My favorite decorating tool is probably icecream scoop that I use to make very even, very symmetrical cupcakes!
OH MY GOODNESS!! i am so jealous. if only a place like that existed near me!! (maybe one does.. i need to do my research) my favorite baking tool is parchment paper. love it!! i definitely want to try working with fondant though. :)
AHHH i wish i had a store near me like thiss.

I just stumbled upon your blog and am amazed – and inspired. :) Right now my daughter has a Minnie Mouse doll that she takes everywhere – so we are finding lots of uses for Mickey Mouse sprinkles.

Though I don't really use sprinkles in baking, I love them in ice cream. I'm picky when it comes to sprinkles, too. It's hard to find the nice & soft ones in the grocery stores. Once I had DQ order me a 5 lb. box b/c their sprinkles are truly the best!
I recently got some new eight and nine inch round cake pans after using seriously vintage ones for years and they’re amazing! Nothing sticks and they’re heaven to clean.

Hands down, without a doubt, could never live without my Kitchen Aide stand mixer.
tracycoltharp@sbcglobal.net
Wow!! What an awesome place to shop! My favorite baking tool is my Wilton mini cake pans. They are great for individual personalized cakes. Which is why I need sprinkles…
mimi77477@sbcglobal.net
Oh my goodness! What a marvelous store. I don’t think I could ever leave it without leaving broke! Lol!
My favorite tool? My KitchenAid stand mixer. What did I do before that? And after that? My Pampered Chef cookie scoops–I own small, medium and large.
oh my god! i have to pick just one after viewing that post?! i work without tools, but i want to add an ice cream scoop and an off-set spatula to my collection make my cupcakes look as good as they taste.

i LOVE that a store like this exists! my favorite things for baking are fun decorative cupcake papers….and any kind of sprinkles i can get my hands on!
Oh My favorite tool is my silicone spatula, it does miracles :-)
WOW! I wish we had a store like that here. I would be in heaven! Or broke! I love sprinkles too, but my favorite item is my tiny ice cream scoop. I use it all of the time for cookies now, and it makes my cookies look so even, and pretty!
Great pics!

I’m such a novice at decorating…but I loved the fall leaf sprinkles by wilton that I found. They were adorable.
hmmm…I think I’m currently in love with my Williams Sonoma Crown Muffin Pan…but that could change depending of my mood
pilotlady@hotmail.com
Wow! I’m overwhelmed just looking at your pictures! I can only imagine how you feel being there! One of my fave things is my medium scoop I use to measure out cookie dough for the perfect size cookie. They always come out perfectly round and I’ve never been able to get the same effect with just a regular spoon. Thanks for the giveaway! Hope I win – I could use a good sprinkling! :)

OMG! how exciting! I never knew a place like this existed. For Easter I made some of your cake pops and had a hard time finding the right sprinkles…. I went to 5 different places I thought would have cake stuff, and none had sprinkles I needed….(and all I was looking for were tiny red heart sprinkles, daisy sprinkles, and the rainbow chips.) I will have to take a look at that website! I am so excited! Thanks for the give a way and such an awesome blog! (I am addicted to your blog.)

I adore sprinkles and buy them whenever I see “different” ones (which is usually only around holiday time). I use them to top cupcakes and cakes and usually include a teeny bowl of them aside the yogurt I give my grandson.
I love my ice cream scooper. I can make uniform cupcakes and muffins, and it makes the scooping job so much faster too.

I could easily spend hours in a store like that!
I think my best baking supply purchase has been 2 Silpat sheets. I use them nearly every day, whether for cookies or biscuits or rolls. Next best, set of metal nesting round cookie cutters!
I have two or three offset and flat spatulas, but I really, really love to use the offset butter knife that came with our silverware set for frosting cupcakes! It’s the perfect size and always makes the perfect frosting swirl on top.

I loved this post, that looks like a fantastic store. i’m just a beginner and could use a variety of sprinkles. :)

Gold Dragees!!
That store looks FAB-U-LOUS! Now I have to map how far Tucker,GA is from me. LOL!
My faborite baking tool is my mini muffin tins…perfect for little cupcakes, little muffins.
Some sprinkles would be wonderful.

Wow,those kind of stores are what makes baking so much fun. Do they have sprinkles shaped like chapels for weddings? http://americanchildbirthculture.blogspot.com/
My favorite item is my mom’s Kitchenaid. I just throw everything in there and it does the mixing for me!!
i’m very much a beginner baker, and by far my most favorite item are my 9″ pie pans. thanks to them, i’ve made some nice 4 layer chocolate cakes.
My favorite baking tool is my scoop that I use to measure my cupcake batter. The scoop once belonged to my great grandmother.
I could only dream of having a store like that close to my house.
I am seriously drooling! I am obsessed with sprinkles and cupcake liners. I love my pampered chef scoop and spatula…use them all the time.
Thanks for the post…love it!
That store looks amazing! I love my offset spatula. Makes spreading anything a breeze.

Sprinkles, Sprinkles, Sprinkles have always been my favorite way to make something plain turn into something special!
I love my cookie scoop. I use it to put muffin or cupcake batter in the pans. I would love any sprinkles; my girls and I would have so much fun with them!
My favorite baking tool is a boring old dough scraper, but it makes cleaning off the counter SO much easier!
Oh my goodness! My heart is racing! That looks like heaven! We love sprinkles at our house!
Oh I would love to get locked in that store one night…I would play all night long! My favorite tool is an old old iron that makes flat dutch cookies called Stroopwafels. It is a family recipe and tradition. We gather on black Friday (after Thanksgiving) and make hundreds of these cookies to give away as gifts for the holidays.
Thanks for the chance to win

My favorite has to be my cookie cutters :D
