Cake Decorating Supplies 

For many years I have made candies for the holidays. It is something that I enjoy doing and I like to give them as gifts. Many people do not like to take the time to make homemade treats so the candies are always welcomed gifts. I find all the things that I need for my candies at the store that sells cake decorating supplies. When I first started making candies I would get my melting chocolates from a local chocolate store. I knew a woman that worked there so she was able to order the supplies that I needed. The store went under new management and he stated that I could no longer buy the chocolate. I then bought chocolate from the bakery, but it was not very good quality.

I did not want to give up on my candy making but I also did not have the time or experience to try to create my one chocolate for dipping. My sister told me that I should try the store where she buys her cake decorating supplies. She said that they have a section dedicated to making candies. My sister makes beautiful cakes. She has made the wedding cakes for many family members and she is always in charge of bringing birthday cakes to family birthday parties. She was going to make a trip to the store to get cake decorating supplies so I went with her.

The store did indeed have two rooms. The first room was filled with cake decorating supplies. It had everything from different pan molds to the cardboard plates to place cakes on. There was also a huge assortment of fruit fillings and nuts for making coffee cakes and fruit cakes. There were also a variety of cake toppers for wedding cakes and every size storage boxes for transporting cakes. I had no idea that there were so many cake decorating supplies available. You could buy frosting already made as well as mixes.

In the second room was everything for candy making. I had purchased a few plastic molds from a hobby shop, but here there were hundreds of molds in every possible shape and size. There were containers of pre-made fillings in a variety of flavors. There were also bags of crunch, toasted coconut and other ingredients to stir into chocolate. The bars of chocolate for melting filled shelves on one end of the room. The bars were three feet long, a foot and a half wide and two inches thick. They break off the amount you want and it is sold by the pound. They had two kinds of dark chocolate and four types of milk chocolate to choose from. They also had the big blocks of white chocolate. There were also a wide variety of gift boxes available to place your homemade treats in. I could not believe that I found all of these wonderful things in a small store that sells cake decorating supplies.
