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 really do need to find a store like that. I would be in heaven. My favorite decorating tool has to be Viva paper towels. I use them with a fondant smoother to make my buttercream icing smooth. It works great and doesn’t leave a pattern like some paper towels would.
I love all the sprinkles! So many to choose from! Looks like a road trip this summer to check this store out!
my favorite baking item? probably my kitchenaid mixer. it is amazing how much easier that makes things…
I just wanted to let you know I almost peed my pants looking at that. How fun is that?! My favorite tool is just a piping bag with tips, because that’s all I know how to use! =P I’d love to dabble in cake decorating when I get the time, though!
Emily
papercliplvr@yahoo.com
Awesome store.
I love pink glitter flakes. I used them to decorate turrets on my daughter’s castle cake. So pretty.
My favorite is my mini muffin pan. I also think littler = cuter! I use it so much the teflon coating is wearing off!
kmatherne@gmail.com
flat spatula
My favorite baking tool is my mother’s old pastry board. It’s huge and wooden and has such great memories of baking christmas cookies.
Sprinkles I’ve always wanted but have never found: mushrooms. I’m one of those crazy mushroom fans (not to eat, though – just to look at).
My oldest son’s birthday is coming up. After seeing all these pictures he is in his room compiling a list of what I should have to make his birthday cake! *falls over*
eidolons AT gmail DOT com
i love my cookie scoop!! it saves me so much time since i bake cookies all the time. msnavyggirl2002 @ yahoo dot com
Ooh! Awesome, inspiring store…ideas probably flood your brain, as you walk down each aisle. I would think that this would justify..rationalize..be enough to balance out the $$$$ you spend. What do you think?
Love my stackable cooling racks!
jo(dot)whitehurst@gmail(dot)com
Oh my goodness! That store is phenomenal! I wish I had a store like that near me. I’d have to change out my whole pantry to accommodate everything. I’m such a sucker for pretty or cute things. My favorite thing (right now) is parchment paper. I didn’t realize how many uses it had until recently. lisamorris@prodigy.net
That store looks amazing!! My favorite baking tool is a turntable – makes decorating around cakes so much easier! I also love to use shimmer powder on cakes. As a farm girl, I think the pink pig sprinkles are great!! My blog: kristajoyonline.blogspot.com
Wow, what a store, and oh, how addicting it must be! I absolutely adore baking and must say that it is my workhorse, my kitchen aid mixer, that I just wouldn’t know what to do without! Thanks so much for sharing!
Really pretty sanding sugar!!
My favorite baking tool(aside from my kitchenaid stand mixer) would have to be my cookie scoops – I have 3 sizes of them. The largest is great for big cookies and is the perfect size for cupcake batter. The smaller sizes are great for cookies and cake balls!
I would be in that store for days!!
Love your baking blog!
Anytime I frost a cake, I use my turntable. Couldn’t do without it!
rval954@gmail.com
Sprinkles – Of course!!!
I LOVE my offset spatula! It makes icing anything so much easier and prettier! Now I need to check out that store’s website!
I’d have to say my Kitchenaid mixer is my favorite tool!
jen_lancaster [at] yahoo [dot] com
My favorite baking tool is probably my nonstick bakeware that has plastic lids with handles. I almost always am in a rush when baking so it’s useful to just be able to carry the pan around to where it needs to go.
I love to bake – all year round. This month, been baking banana bread and absolutely love the silicone pans because it makes it easier to ‘pop’ out the bread instead of sitting there banging the metal ones lol
hokiegrl78@gmail.com
I don’t have a favorite tool yet, just getting the bug. That store looks like a ton o’ fun though! Too bad I’m too far away to actually go there…nothing is ever the same online.
angelsbrew@yahoo.com
I wish I had a shop like that nearby! You are so luck!
I love this store!!! I could live in this store and never leave.
I wish I had caught the decorating bug sooner like when I lived in Atlanta.. I’m only 3 1/2 hours away I think I could plan a day trip soon A DAY TRIP!!Thank you for shareing this info with Us..
wOOOw that is sOOO amazing ! ! ! many thanks for this contest! I take a chance!!!!I love everything! specially on the 1st picture!!! we do not have those beautiful items in france!!!
here is my new blog;o)
http://atelierdetara.canalblog.com/
I’m french so I hope you understand me!^^! i lOve your blOg so much! specially the lollipops!!!
bisous***
tara! thank you!!! you are sweet!!!
omg! i wish we have a store like that here. i would probably be inside it every week, and will have a heart attack from the excitement each and every time i go :)
Favorite tool? hmmm, my stainless measuring spoon set!
I love everything about baking. But I just would be completely lost without my parchment paper and my KA mixer! I really need some sprinkle variety in my life. Thanks for posting the link to this place!
I am overwhelmed by this store… but secretly wishing I could make a trip east to shop my brains out! OMG! So cool!
joyadee@gmail.com
My icing spatulas are my favorite tools. I’m not sure what I did before I had those! I’m not sure I want to remember.
bttrflybabydoll[@]gmail.com
I enjoyed every second of that. Nice. I think I totally need some of those graduated cutters! How fabulous that they are both round and crinkle. Perfect! I think my favorite tool is my wire horizontal cake cutter. I love splitting my layers so perfectly! I just have the little one, but it’s fabulous!!! I hope I win. It’s my birthday today! :) Thanks!
Holy cow! I don’t have any idea how you are going to pick from allllll these posts! My favorite decorating tool is by far my printer! Yep, that’s right, my printer! I love doing photo cookies, or cookies with printed art. They really help me to be creative.
tracy@sugarbeez.com
My favorite baking item is my mini-muffin tin. They take less time to bake and when I do cinnamon rolls in them, I don’t have to let them rise as long as my big ones! It is great! Plus, my son loves the “bite” size of them!
meganferguson@juno.com
Wow! I really wish I had a store like that to shop at, however I think my husband wouldn’t be to happy! I too spend way to much money when I’m in the vicinity of baking products. My favorite tool has to be my Silpat. I love to make cookies and LOVE how the silpat helps makes them even all over, even on the bottom! I also have an addiction to buying sprinkles.
What an amazing store! My favorite decorating tool is actually the 3 piece mini set from Pampered Chef.
kscpn5@gmail.com
Sounds super simple, but my favorite baking item is parchment paper. It makes life so much easier. Without a nice flat cake top- what would I decorate?
I love my cookie dough scoop (like the mini ice cream ones) because I usually make cookies and everybody always marvels at how professional they look! I also love my springform pan because it makes yummy cheesecakes!
Holy sprinkles Batman!!! That store has more sprinkles than I have ever seen in my life, how awesome is that!!! My favorite tool is my pink kitchen aid, not sure if that really counts, but I couldn’t do half the stuff with out it and it’s pink!!!
I love baking cookies- I usually go nuts with about 10 different kinds for Christmas! But now I’m hooked on cupcake bites, too!
I wish I had a store like that near me! I can see how you get carried away. I don’t have a lot of tools since the “baking bug” as you put it has only recently bitten me. I like my mechanical pastry bag from Williams Sonoma. I’m practicing my decorating on the flower cupcakes I make with the pan I got there too.
ddanded@cox.net
I couldn’t live without my scoop — I used it for thick battered cupcakes and cookies..
Thanks!
omg! I looove sprinkles! I love just standing in the sprinkle aisle and looking at all the pretty colors, it makes me look like :-D but I like to think my nose is smaller!
My favorite tool is definitely my little blue bowl scraper. It was a wedding gift and I use it for everything I can!
I love my spatulas! And wooden spoons. And bowls.
Oh my goodness! We will be driving through GA at the end of the month and we might have to make an extra stop!!! I love cookie cutters! I think they would have some that we don’t have!
http://kimberleefaith.blogspot.com
I just organized my sprinkles into spice jars like you have Bakerella…I love all types of sprinkles. They really do make me happy to just look at them.
http://www.mamouney.blogpsot.com
My favorite baking tool is my kitchenaid stand mixer. I love it more than any of my piping bags, icing tips, or cake decorating gizmos and gadgets. As for sprinkles, I would just like ones that are different or unique and that can’t be found at Michael’s.
peekaboo_iseeyou(at)hotmail(dot)com
Having just started decorating, I don’t know what my favorite is, I know I want to collect pans though. What an awesome store, I’m going to see where they are located.
Ok….I am seriously JEALOUS! I used to have a store like this in Houston….alas nothing like this in Savannah! ROAD TRIP!!!
I would have to say my off-set spatula. Great for icing! And I am drooling at the pictures from that store. I can’t wait to see more!
senglish@phoneguys.org
Oh, what I would do in that store – the money I would spend!!! I love sprinkles of all kinds!
The elusive sprinkle – graduation caps! Got any???
Abby
abigail1972@hotmail.com
I love my muffin liners… I didn’t use them for so long and it was always such a mess! Figures :p
I love Satin Ice Fondant! Its so easy to work with and tastes good too!
You are sooooooo lucky this is close to you!!! I have to order everything online, no cake stores here! My fav tool is my Ateco fondant mat, perfect for rolling out fondant or doing decorations, never need pwdr sugar or cornstarch!!!
My favorite kind of sprinkles are these snowflake sprinkles I got somewhere in Germany. They’re too cute.
I love this super shimmery edible glitter that I have.. sprinkled on white buttercream, it looks like winter. =]
I would love that store! One of my favorites is mini silicone cupcake liners!
Gwen
howellmg@ainweb.net
Oh my god. I’ve never seen so many kinds of sprinkles in one place O_O
I like to bake with shaped pans, they make the cakes much more interesting!
galavi2@zahav.net.il
I don’t have a favorite baking tool. Just thought my kids would go nuts with all those sprinkles..
Leslie
lbceschnee@sbcglobal.net
Ohmy! This store is wonderful! Keep those photos coming! Do they have a catalog/mailorder? My favorite “tool” has to be parchment paper. Love that stuff! And I would LOVE to start collecting those colorful sprinkles-and probably never use them, but they are oh so pretty!
Jill
jillmc22595@yahoo.com
I think I’m too late actually! Just wanted to say how lucky it is to have such a place to buy sprinkles and supplies like that. In the Manchester (UK) there’s nothing like that. Whenever I see the odd jar of Wilton Sprinkles in the baking supply shop, I pounce on them! Unfortunately they work out really expensive. I did on some white stars on ebay.co.uk recently only for the final asking price to end up at over £6 for 1 ounce of sprinkles. Glad I didn’t win the auction. I’m keeping my eye out for some edible glitter going cheap!
Just as a small PS. Thank you for the blog – it really cheers me up! I love checking up on your pop-progress and anything else you have on there. Your whole blog reminds of Spring, sunsine and smiles.

I wish there was a store like that in Philly. My favorite tools are my dough scraper (doubles as an icing smoother with the cake on a turntable) and my pizza cutter from IKEA.
Oh, wow….looking at all this just makes me want to bake, and bake and bake some more! Love sprinkles of all kinds. I don’t think you can ever have enough!
Wow – that place looks addictive! I guess the thing I can’t live without most when I’m cake decorating is my revolving cakestand. It’s the only way I can get everything even all over.
My favorite tool is my rubber spatula.
I think I need to take a road trip to Tucker, GA! GAH, that place looks wonderful. As far as tools, I love my baking strips. Each layer comes out perfectly flat. It’s brilliant!
OMG! THIS MAKES ME WANT TO BAKE! My 17 YR old is standing behind me saying “I want go there. ” Thanks Joy
jeepmom1963@bellsouth.net
Oh my….How I would love to just be in that store! Pretties!
My favorite baking tool is my mom’s Kitchen Aid mixer. As I don’t have one, I have to do everything by hand. But I’d sure love one!
OMG the place is too cool!! I really want dinosaur sprinkles, sigh so cute.
mvp_mag@hotmail.com
Wow! How awesome, yet I can also see how overwhelming it would be! A cook’s heaven! I love my new Wilton mini loaf pan. I got it as an early Mother’s Day gift. I have started making Amish Frienship bread and it is perect for that! Love all you do, you are so talented. I have been looking for the silver balls(maybe they don’t make them anymore). I would be tickled to receive any kind of sprinkles, though!
Mine is probably a flat spatula. I haven’t gotten to experimemt much with decoration yet but I can appreciate a flat spatula any day of the week.
WOW and right around the corner – kinda. I live in Atlanta too. I just might be taking a trip there soon!!!
I too LOVE that store! And it’s less than 5 miles from my house! I love the boxes they carry–perfect for all the cookies I bake and give away. I can get a box that will hold 1 or 2 or 25 cookies! And the ladies who work there are so nice! I can’t believe I’ve never seen you there!!
Love the springform pan!
Oh my gosh, I wish we had a store like that here and my favorite baking tool is my mat to roll out my pie crust on!
I love your blog, and am quite jealous that you have such a wonderful baking supply store close to you.
My favourite baking tools are my miniature cookie cutters.
mrs.primrodo.com
love your blog! I have recently been trying my hand at cake decorating….so I can understand being overwhelmed when walking into a store like that!!!!
Susan
ksjsr.webb@gmail.com
My favorite thing I use is my little cutters for pie crusts. It’s so festive!
I bought a small set of tips once. I love playing with them to see what kind of swirls and shapes I can make on my kids’ birthday cakes.
OMG! What a place! I could go into serious debt there! My favorite decorating item, like many on this post, is the off set spatula. I have 4 in various sizes! I’ve been searching for (small size)color powders (instead of the gel colors).
Thank you for telling us of this resource!
Telynn
Telynn_Rose@gmail.com
My daughter and I love sprinkles and silicone cupcake cups.
Wow. I am living in South Korea right now, so this looks like a dream. I’m pretty new to this decorating thing, but from reading all the comments, I want the off set spatula to be my new favorite! :)
Cool Store!
My favorite is my bundt pan. Easy to whip out a cake and decorate in a pinch.
Cookie cutter it would have to be them.
I think I would definitely do some credit card damage in that store:) I am lucky there isn’t one very close to me!
I have been looking for some sprinkles appropriate for a baby shower, my friend is due in the next couple weeks! Themed sprinkles are a must as well as the perfect cupcake papers!
faith210 (at) gmail (dot) com
Wow! Our store is a 1/4 of that size but I guess it’s better than nothing. I am so jealous! Cupcake liners are the best and so are the pretinted satin ice fondants. Those vibrant colors are hard to achieve!
joga007@verizon.net
Holy sprinkles Bakerella!!
My favorite decorating tools would have to be my stepdaughters! I love baking and having them decorate! The colors they use and the sprinkles they sprinkle really make the cake or cookie or pop!
I was in shock when i was scrolling down the pictures. Oh my god i want to be in that store.
My favorite baking tools my silicone molds. My baking would be harder with out them.
I never knew what I was missing! And I’m with you on the gadgets… those things are addicting!
I FINALLY bought myself some decorating tips! They make frosting cupcakes so much more fun!
sarahdee701@yahoo.com
Wowweeee! That looks like fun! My fave baking tool is the new mini alphabet cookie cutters I just go… I’m looking forward to writing people messages in cookies!
ameliapearls@yahoo.co.uk
I wish there was one of those stores around me, but I’m very sure my husband is glad that there isn’t one. I know my budget is glad too. I have never used sprinkles on anything (but ice cream sundaes) so I guess that’s something I need to look into.
I wish there was a store like this where I live!! It would be so much fun!!! tricia1208@verizon.net
who knew?! the pictures are practically orgasmic, and i don’t even consider myself a baker [you have to be good for that title don’t you?]. i guess my favorite baking tool is my toaster/convection oven! it lets me make small sized desserts for my husband and i :)
I have to find a store that that in the middle of the country.
clong1954@gmail.com
That store looks so awesome!
I love sprinkles… there’s something about them, when you’re at a loss at what to do to a project that just might not be turning out right, just add some sprinkles and everything looks great! I don’t have many, just a couple of shakers I’ve bought on sale, but I love having them on hand.
aforementionedthoughts@gmail.com
I love decorating tips. I have so much fun trying to use new ones when I get a chance.
thesmarts@smartacusllc.com
that shop has me drooling!!!…probably a good thing there isn’t anything like it or it’s size anywhere near me lol…my favorite right now are my wilton cake pans i finally invested in…haven’t burned anything in them yet lol…
d_deroneth@hotmail.com
no fair we don’t have a store like that in NY! I couldn’t do without my professional turntable and trusty spatulas.
Oh my gosh!!!! This place rocks! My new favorite tool is my tiny flower cookie cutter, since I tried making your cupcake pops, it’s my new best friend!! And I am sooo low on sprinkles! (thanks for all that you do!)
salloway!cfl.rr.com
Oh my goodness I’d go mad in that shop! :P
I love my offset spatula when decorating cakes, it makes everything looks so much nicer! That and random sprinkles I can get my hands on.
I think I have died and gone to sprinkles heaven! I have never in my life seen such a great selection!
I would love the purple bead-like ones or even the shaped ones.
My favorite tool is my pampered chef medium scoop! LOVE it for filling cupcake liners and scooping dough or mellon or icecream!
Dangerous store!!!
My oven does the magic for my cakes!
Multi color non-pareils is on my list – saw on Ace of Cakes….
i have always been looking for these adorable lightning shaped sprinkles but to no avail!
my email is sammahxd@yahoo.com :)
I love my offset spatula for icing. It’s amazing how much it helps!
Those pictures got my sweet tooth drooling!! I could get lost in a store like that. I love all kinds of sprinkles – flowers, hearts, bears, colored balls….you name it!!
Theresa – theresa.reck@gmail.com
What a store! My friends and I just made over 200 of your cake bites for a mother’s day party at the assisted living facility where I work!- Those sprinkles would have been the bomb for that! Favoite tool is silicone teeny tiny squares baking pann
cocoschmidt01@yahoo.com
My favorite baking tool is the internet – sites like yours!!!
Email: seven_fw@yahoo.com
Oh my, I have the same reaction when I go to my baking supply store. My favorite item would have to be all the candy sprinkles available. Not as many as your store offers but I don’t need to get into that much trouble!!
I can’t believe that with all the wonderful things you’ve done, you’ve not used marizpan yet. We love marzipan in our family. For Christmas when we were kids in England we’d get a block of it under the Christmas tree!
As for my favourite tool…how about my Kitchen-Aid?
I want to go there! Love it!
OMG!!!!!!! I need this store. What state do I have to move to.!!!!
merolafamily@cox.net
Wow! I came on it was on page 200 of 1097!!!! You have gotten a LOT of comments! =:D
This is an awesome giveaway! I hope I win! =;) I wish I had one of those stores around here, it looks amazing!
Ummm, My favorite tool….a plain old rubber spatula and my wilton baking sheets! Ever since I got these my creations have been turning out perfect every time! Yippee! =:D
Thanks for entering me in your contest! =:)
Blessings!
~Miss Rachel~
If one of that store would be here in Spain…. I would be ruined…
I love to bake cookies and I love sprinkles, very difficult to find here in Spain. I need some of them….
martagongra@hotmail.com
Hands down my disposable piping bags.
I wish we had a store like that here! Or maybe not, I might just spend my life savings there. Great store, thanks for showing us.
kparker910@earthlink.net
I’d spend hours in there, give or take. Probably the spatula’s would be my favorite gadget. As for sprinkles.. I wonder if there are any “princess” or “barbie” sprinkles for my little girl who is turning 5 in September.
Here’s my email addy:
andreashefferman(at)gmail(dot)com
Sprinkles ROCK!
AWEsome!! I LOVE Sprinkles!! yay!!
I love everything in that store! wow!
I love my wooden slats. They keep my cookie dough rolled out at just he right level. :)
onecoolfrog_2000@yahoo.com
Great post. I’d be lost in that store. I made sugar cookies this weekend and the only sprinkles I could find were standard rainbow jimmies. I’d love a selection for future baking.
scotteichinger AT msn.com
My favorite would definitely have to be my cake decorating toolbox filled with tips and bags.
Wow! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE that place, but I too would be overwhelmed with all that stuff! My favorite baking tool …really would be the sprinkles! LOL Thanks for showing us the store!
my favourite would be my kitchenaid mixer – it just makes things sooo much easier! And i would love to find motorcycle sprinkles. I’ve never seen any but I keep looking.
TheLuchy (at) gmail (dot) com
ooh how fun!
My cake decorating spinning lazy Susan thingie has made it SO much easier to ice cakes!
Our last name is Clover, I have always looked for clover/shamrock sprinkles… no luck tho!
dana@homesteadinghousewife.com
That’s so amazing; I wish I lived there!!! Then again, it might be dangerous… My favorite baking tool is my handy Kitchen Aid MixMaster.
My favorite baking tool is my Kitchenaide mixer! Love that thing! I use it for everything and my children are too now!

steller71@msn.com
You made me want to get up and make cupcakes at 5:30 in the morning! I am going to google how far that store is from my house! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the great giveaway!
This post is like sprinkle heaven for me here in the UK! We have access to a very small amount of sprinkles here so I loved reading your thread!
I have so many favourite culinary items but right now it would have to be either my 1m decorating tip or my new angled spatula which makes pallet icing so much easier!
Thanks for a great post and fabulous blog! xx
WOW! What a place, almost like heaven :o) We use a lot of Marzipan in Denmark….and it’s a treat! Where others make roses of fontant…..we make roses of Marzipan. :o) More difficultie to work with then fontant, but it taste better.
//Bente
WOAH! a WHOLE store for cake art!! I’m so new at “cake decorating” but I think that your styrofoam block idea is the coolest for drying cake pops. I need a new piece already tho, I threw away my last one once it had too much icing dripped all over it!
oh how cool is that place??? to be honest… I am a horrible baker. Seriously awful, but that store is so cheerful!
Holy Cow girl,I would have died and gone to heaven. I would MOVE IN THERE!… You would never ever ever get me out of there. I must know if they have other stores??? The decisions you have just when you walk in must be tremendous….
Oh my. I absolutely love the look of coarse, colored sugars! But I’m sad to say that I don’t have a offset spatula… man, I wish I would remember to buy one the next time I’m at the store..
Mine might not be a specific tool, but a beautiful cake plate that my Father-in-law gave me that I love to put my cakes on. Everything looks great on this cake plate, it makes me want to make cakes to put on it.
I would really love sprinkles in the shape of whales! Or cute yellow giraffes. My favorate baking tool is my heart-shaped cupcake tin!
Love your site!

Holy Cow girl,I would have died and gone to heaven. I would MOVE IN THERE!… You would never ever ever get me out of there. I must know if they have other stores??? The decisions you have just when you walk in must be tremendous….
I’d be in heaven.. My favorite decorating tool is the off set spatula. I also love pearl dragees for decorating.
My favorite baking supply has GOT to be sprinkles!!! My three sisters and I make Christmas cookies every year, it’s a ritual, even though we’re all adults and moved out of our parents house!!! My parents have HUNDREDS of cookie cutters from when we were little, but we are, sadly, very low on sprinkles :(
gainfulemployment@gmail.com
WOW! I think I’d be in major debt if that store was near me. My favorite baking tool to use right now is my teeny-weeny muffin pan. It’s great for bite size cupcakes and brownies. Everyone loves them!

First of all let me just say I wish there was a store like that up here! I’m doing good to find sprinkles at the grocery store so you can imagine the lack of choices. ;)
I love my heart shaped cake pans. I love that I can make cakes for my children and all the people I love in the shape of a heart. I call them “love cakes”. :)
WOW…that was enlightening
never have I seen so much happiness in one spot…I would spend the mortgage in there…not a good place for me to visit…although given the chance I would…LOL..thanks Bakerella for the eye opener.I need the SPRINKLES zetatwain@aol.com
What a dream store. I’d be lost in there. My favorite baking tool would have to be my Kitchen Aid.
And I cannot tell you how much we (four boys) LOVE sprinkles at our house! Awesome!
wow it s amazing all those colors! wish we had a store like this here in paris.
bisous
I have a sprinkle addiction, myself!! Thank God there isn’t a store like that near me, my husband would probably divorce me!!haha

That store is amazing…nothing like it that I’ve ever seen! I’d love a try at some new sprinkles. My selection is woefully inadequate–though I am really a novice at this…I’m not sure I’d actually qualify as a novice if you saw some of my attempts but I am learning!
Thanks!

I love my offset spatula and my KitchenAid mixer. But my guilty pleasures are candy molds! I have dozens!

I really love edible glitter! It is just way fun and sparkly!
Sign me up for some sprinkles. My granddaughter loves to bake cupcakes, especially by copying yours, and would love her some sprinkles.
aaaaaaaaaaa, do they have an online address and do they ship overseas? this store is a dream!!!!!!!!!
What a magical place! WOW!~~My absolute fave cake decor item are those little ballerinas! But my fave sprinkles which I don’t currently have, are pale green sprinkles!~~~XXOO, Beth
Yes, sprinkles, can’t live without them, and Satin Ice fondant, the easiest and most flavorful fondant, make the most elegant cupcakes.
Wow, I wish there was a store like that near me. My favorite sprinkles that I have yet to purchase are sugar pearls. I swoon every time I see them, since I’m a pearl girl through and through. Maybe soon!
Contact info on my blog :)
OMG – I had no idea that so many cake decorating things existed like that. It’s really amazing. How long do things like sprinkles, etc last? The thing I can’t find in the US are real chocolate sprinkles – not the brown plastic/waxy flavored ones that we sell in stores here. Any chance this store sells them? What a great contest. You are too generous.

That store looks incredible!! I’m so glad I don’t have one near me:)
My favorite tool would have to be my Tappits. I am absolutely terrible at writing on cakes so Tappits are a great was for me to do all my wording.
I love cookie cutters! I use them for cookies, of course, and to cut fun sandwich shapes for my daughters’ lunches. Also, I’ve been trying to find the candies you used on top of the graduation caps. I might just use mini-chocolate chips, though.
OMG, I could never imagine a store like this exists. There is a store that sells similar items here in Slovenia, but no sprinkles, no color, and the most awful cake toppers you could imagine. But you can get a star-shaped baking pan, wow! :-P

Hi, I will try a good english…It’s the first time I see 1049 comments….congratulation! I follow your blog since some months, you are incredible, really your amazing.
Ok, here in Paris we have some shops like that you show as but it’s smoller and I think I will came to USA to buy planty of this magic sugar, frosting. Here we just have white fondant…so you see we are sed people. :(
I hope I will win, If I was there I will buy the nice nick men for some friends and for my sister and planty of cake boxes!!

Holy crap, that store is 10 minutes away from my husband’s aunts house. I must visit the next time we’re in the area! I can hear the cake pans calling my name…
Wow! I would seriously spend a weekend just to drive down and go to that store! Amazing! My favorite baking item is the fancy foil wrap that covers cake boards! And, surprisingly, I’ve been looking all over our little down for some heart shaped sprinkles. Hearts? Really? Why are they that hard to find?!
aecomber@bsu.edu
Wow. That’s crazy! I love sprinkles and don’t have many. I love all the different colors!
WOW, I have never ever seen a store like that in my life. WHEW. That would be so fun to go through it.
I love any type of sprinkles to share with my grandson.
My favorite tool is silly but it is my turn table and my cupcake 1M tip and the tip to fill cupcakes with.
Susie
It’s so hard to pick one favorite! Ack!
Does my KitchenAid mixer count? Nah. Probably not.
I guess I would say cupcake holders. All kinds!
gencojournal@gmail.com
i would love to go in that store..oh my gosh heaven. My favorite tool is my spatula
cwilliams8@columbus.rr.com
My favorite tool is my pastry tip cleaning brush – it’s so cute and the only thing that works. Thanks for the tour of the Cake Art!

I love cookie cutters. You can never have too many.
I live overseas, but have a US address to mail to. SO anything to help me decorated would be wonderful. I can not get any of the sprinkles here. I would love foundant too.
BUT I can make my own buttercream frosting here so that helps. Right now I use a lot of mini M&M's to decorate or skiddles.
I enjoy my cookie cutters. =oD
Oh my, I would be very overwhelmed in that store!!
I love offset spatulas!
I also love love love my KA stand mixer, I could NOT live without it.
OMG- luv it.
I love my stand mixer and offset spatula!!!!!
Vani77@bellsouth.net
Spatulas! I can never have enough of them in my kitchen!
my fave naking item has to be these gorgeous cupcake liners i saw recently!quite possibly on your site lol!

That looks amazing! In England we don’t have anything even close to that size. In fact, the specialist cake shops are something ridiculous like 20ft by 20ft. My living room (lounge?) is bigger than that! And we *definately* don’t have that many sprinkles. And my favourite baking tool is… probably my 1M piping nozzle. I adore it. Probably a bit too much, but it makes such pretty icing!
My favorite is heart sprinkles ( the only thing I own)In Norway it isn’t easy to get great equipment / ingredients for baking/dekorating…
Would love to be picked!
I wish they had a store like that here!
jtrsoc@gmail.com
What an amusing place. I wonder if they deliver to Finland? I just love those roller fondants
my heart silicone cupcake pan!

my goodness, how’d you get photos of heaven??? haha :)
I don’t think we even have a shop that remotely resembles Cake Art in Belgium… I should look around, cause they got some great stuff. I could order online, but it’s not the same as walking around a shop like that…
I love the idea of tinted icing, but I’ve never been able to find any over here. I made your Valentine’s cake and I had to tint the icing by hand… and it was still only dark pink…
Wow! I’ve never seen a store like that before!
I would soo be in trouble.
I’m just in a tiny town in Kansas and am afraid the sprinkles I get are pretty mundane.
I hope I win! Love your site!

OH drats I was hoping there was one of those stores in a 200 mile radius of me…try 2000 lol.
I think I had a mini brain orgasm looking at all the pics…maybe I need to get a life .
one of my favorite decorating tools is my 6 in offset spatula, I also feel that scoops are indespensible for baking( like Ice cream scoops in all different sizes ) Awesome for cookies and muffins perfectly portioned

i only just gan with my baking&decorating, and i'm practicing before i buy anything fancy. however i've been eyeing this adorable set of heart shaped bits and pieces – comes with a cupcake tray, three sizes of cake tin and heart shaped measuring cups, but the best thing about it is the array of multicoloured heart sprinkles in heart-shaped bottles. :D i'd be set for valentines day!
and there's a boobie cake tin i bought to make the cake for my brothers birthday. :B
This may sound silly, but I love my little plastic pan scraper. I bought for 99 cents at Bed Bath and Beyond and I use it for everything. Its very versatile :) Please pick me I neeeeeeed sprinkles!!!
ssiulua@gmail.com
wow… that looks like a huge toy store to me!! The srinkles are AMAZING :D and I am thrilled to hear I am not the only addicted one ;-). Do I really have to pick ONE favorite thing?? I am a gadget girl, anything that is fun and new– though half the stuff I don’t know how to work :D
npauling@gmail.com
WOW!!! I think i want to live in that shop! lol! like you, i also buy everything just in case i wanna use it! lol! I think if i ever visit this store, i will go crazy and buy everything! lol! i have been looking everywhere for mini-bundt pans but can’t find them here where i am staying..:(
Love your work, Bakerella! Thanks for inspiring all of us to try new things in the kitchen.
(Crossing my fingers!)
I would LOVE to visit that store! Right now my favorite thing to use is oven liners to make cookies on. It cuts the baking time down. There are only so many cookies you can fit on a regualr tray.
Sprinkles make life better! That store looks amazing too- we don’t have anything like that here. You can only find your run of the mill sprinkles. My favourite baking items are my piping tips!
I know it is not very professional but I like to use food coloring to paint pictures and/or flowers on the top of cakes.
its hard to have a favorite baking tool or decoration, theres just so many! but my favorite tool would have to be my silpat mat for all the cookies i make =) and for decorations, the pretty crystalized sprinkles. they look sooo nice on cheesecake frosting with my red velvet cupcakes. mmmm…
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you are a tease!!!, That store looks awesome!, my favorite gadgets would have to be my different size cookie scoops..they make things sooo much easier!jmontpet@twcny.rr.com

YAY for sprinkles!
I really love sprinkles but I live in London where I can’t just walk into a baking shop and buy some :( Sainsburys (supermarket) do good ones by doctor oetker though. I have them all even the barbie ones hehehehe
wow! my favourite baking tool is my fork! I do pratically all of the mixing with it! (my baking is mostly small scale)
OMG my hubby will get a heart attack if we had such a store in the Netherlands because then we sure will be in crisis, maybe it’s a good thing we are so far away, my favorite baking tool is my Kenwood mixer call it Kenny for short and as for sprinkels I love them all

wouaouw !
WOW! I never knew such a store existed. I’d love to win some sprinkles!! :) I love my new silicone whisk. It’s actually so much easier than a metal one! :)
http://www.leflett.blogspot.com
Wow! What a stopre…fave item is of course sprinkles!!! And I use them! :)
The blue bear sprinkles are fabulous!!
I love my cookie cutters but I’m waiting a KitchenAid mixer and i think this will be my favorite!
