Where I Shop, Part 2

Candy Melts

A couple of weeks ago, I took you on a fun photo tour of Cake Art Party Store (cakeart.com) – a great little cake supply place I visit often. But, what I didn’t show you is all the candy making supplies they have. I’ve bought lots of stuff from them to make cake pops. Most importantly… candy melts. What would I do without these things. They come in 1 lb. bags of dark and milk chocolate as well as tons of colors…

Peanut Butter Candy Melts

… and flavors. Did you know these things come in peanut butter? They also have some mint flavored ones if you like.

White Candy Melts

Now, if the 1 lb. bags aren’t enough for you, then throw a couple of these five pounders over your shoulder. FYI, these are superwhite vanilla coatings, not to be confused with white. Same thing, only brighter. And, if you buy a bunch of white candy melts, then you might even want to try tinting your own. It’s really easy.

Candy Color

Just add a few drops of this stuff to the melted candy coating and color away. Make sure it says candy color, though. Regular food coloring contains water and will mess your chocolate up. I mean it.

Cocoa Butter

100% Cocoa Butter. If I actually knew what I was doing, I would tell you all about how to use this stuff. But, I don’t. The only thing I use cocoa butter on is a sunburn. Besides, it was sitting right next to the candy colors, so I took a picture of it for you.

Caramel

Gigantic caramel chunks anyone? I’ve never used these, but they definitely catch my eye every time I walk down the candy aisle to get lollipop sticks. Actually, my mouth is stuck together right now just thinking about them.

Sticks

Ahhhh, sticks! Thank you. Fat ones, skinny ones, paper ones, wood ones, short ones…

Lollipop Sticks

… and long ones!

Lollipop Sticks

Or if you’re afraid of being stickless… bulk ones.

Styrofoam

Of course, you’ll want something to stick them in to let your cake pops dry. Styrofoam works great.

Candy Molds

These are the medium peanut butter cup molds I use to make the Cupcake Bites. But, don’t let these limit you…

Molds

Check out the endless variety of candy molds. They have them for just about anything. Any occasion, hobby or interest you can think of.

Fish Candy Molds

I’m waiting for when I can use these.

You can really get creative with the molds. Fill them with solid chocolate or add flavored fillings.

Squeeze Bottles

Using squeeze bottles makes it easier to pour chocolate into the molds.

Brushes

And you can use brushes to paint on the molds with different layers of colored candy melts.

Candy Writers

These are candy writers. They are really handy when you just need a little color and quick.

Just place the tube in a bowl of hot water to melt the candy and it’s ready to use.

They come individually in several different colors.

Candy Writers

Or try out the box set.

Oils

Oils. Need some banana cream flavored chocolate? Bubble Gum? Cranberry? How about root beer or mango?

I’ve used the orange flavor before when I made these orange-colored cake pops. The oils are super-strength and pack a bigger punch than normal extracts – so, you’ll just need a few drops.

Paramount Crystals

A lot of people have asked how to make their chocolate thinner. These paramount crystals do the trick. Just add a few pieces at a time to the melted candy coating and stir until they completely disappear. But, you can also use regular old shortening.

Miniature Cutters

Miniature cutters. These are an alternative to the ones I use from Williams-Sonoma to make Cupcake Pops. The flower cutter on the left is the one you want. It comes in this Ateco set #4848.

Cello Bags

Cello bags. These have a bronze/brown tint and they come in lots of sizes. I usually just use small clear plastic treat bags for the pops, though.

Foil Candy Wrappers

Look at these. I’ve never really paid much attention to these foil candy wrappers. I don’t know why. Probably because there’s just too much stuff to look at in this store. But, I definitely want to try them out soon. I’m thinking turquoise! No purple!

Candy Cups
You could wrap some cake balls in foil and then place them in little candy cups. How cute!
Seriously… rock them Roche-Ferrero style.

Boxes

Or you could place them in truffle boxes. I love boxes. Especially little ones.

Boxes

More boxes.

Edible Ink Pens

I saved my favorite for last. Americolor edible ink pens. These have made cake pop decorating so much more fun for me. I started out buying these black ones. They come as a 2 pack. I’ve used them to draw eyes and smiles for cake pop faces and also on fondant covered cupcakes.

Sold out

After buying the black ones over and over, I finally gave in and bought the full set of ten colors. The day I took these pictures they were sold out. Gone. MIA. Sorry.

But you’re in luck.

Since then, I’ve been back and snagged a couple of sets.

And I’m putting them up for grabs. Yay! Here’s what they look like.

Edible Ink Pens

Don’t worry. These are mine. I wouldn’t give you opened ones.

Here’s a few examples of how I’ve used them in the past.

    kris_lawyer2010@yahoo.it

  4. I would love to try them out on some sugar cookies!!

    By the way, I am sooo… jealous of that awesome supply store you get to shop at!!!

  6. Hmmmm…I would love to use those to write love notes to my kids on their school lunch! It would really brighten their day!

    Zew0925@charter.net

  7. I would LOVE to try these out on decorated sugar cookies. It would be great to do the tiny detail with these. Oh how I wish we had a store like that where I live!

  8. I actually just bought all the supplies to try making cake pops this week…the pens would be so fun to decorate them with. I LOVE LOVE your blog…so creative. And I've loved your shopping info. So fun!
    gadomam (at) gmail (dot) com

  9. I want to try them on Hello Kitty cake pops as a surprise for a friend. I bought a pack of these pens from Michael's, but they were Wilton Brand, and it didn't write on my chocolate very well. Almost like it was out of ink. But it wasn't, cause it wrote on a napkin perfectly fine. My local candy supply store only had the Wilton brand too, and none in black.

  10. I would try them on sugar cookies, and make a whole tie dye effect, I think.

  11. I was so excited just looking at the pictures. I can imagine how crazy I would be in that kind of store.

    I would use the markers for cupcakes and cakepops of course but I would also use it to write on white chocolate.

    aptt62@satx.rr.com

  12. Ever since I heard about the edible ink pens I've been dying for a set. I would use them on pretty much everything. Details would become a snap!

    st3phkn33@gmail.com

  13. I've been dying to make the Hello Kitty cake pops! So that's how I'd try 'em.

    aecomber@bsu.edu

  14. SO fun! They seem perfect for writing on Fondant!
    Kmatherne@gmail.com

  15. my husband has requested crayon cake pops and these could sure help with drawing on the label.

    christina@ababyssmile.com

  16. I think I'd use them to make some smiley face cake pops. That's what I would make today, because I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with projects. Give me a few weeks and I'd probably dive into something a bit more complicated!

    Thanks!

  17. I would use them on cakes and cupcakes!
    Thanks for the giveaway!
    (ps: i wasn't sure if this applies to overseas but i thought i'll give it a shot anyways)

  18. OMG I am so jealous …. I live in a small town in New Zealand and we dont have any shops like this here….. maaaaann I could have fun in that shop. alisamel@vodafone.co.nz

  19. OHhhhh…….. I would use them on cookies and cupcakes

  20. OMG GREAT PICS..i could go CRAZY in that store its heaven! Wanted to tell you I tried the lemon bar recipe yesterday for fathers day, and IT WAS A HIT….I copied the recipe and its in my recipe book now…thanks!

  21. Cakes and cupcakes! I would love them to add that extra little detail to any design.
    tarynitup@gmail.com

  22. I would love to try them on cakepops! And I totally envy you for having such a shop near you. There is nothing like that in Germany!
    Julia
    J.Ehrenberg@gmx.de

  23. I'd use them on cookie cutouts. I bet the work well on Royal Icing.
    marilynnicky@gmail.com

  24. Wow! I think I would try them on everything, but I'd probably try them first with the 3-d sugar cookie cutters I just got!

  25. Oh, I would love a set of these! I would use them on cupcakes and probably cakepops, too. Oh and on yellow bunny peeps to make Pikachu like you did. My son thought those were amazing!

    mommy2kai@yahoo.com

  26. oh I want those pens! have not been able to find them here in spain, and I would like to try your hello kitty pops!

  27. i would use them to make faces on teddy grams :)

  28. I would use them on candy and cupcake pops! :D

    I tried to do cupcake pops for the first time last week and they're SOOO delicious. I never thought they were so good, but they were!

    And today I will do the hamburger cupcakes :>

  29. I've been meaning to make CAKE POPS! Looks super fun, but unfortunately I don't know of any fun cake shops that sell supplies. I'm looking around for cheap ones (since I'm in college, haha)

    melissa_lau1990@yahoo.com

    Love reading your blog :)

  30. I would love to own a shop like that, how amazing, but here in the UK, they don't seem to have anything at like this, hmmm, food for thought!!

  31. I'd probably just roll out some fondant to practice on first, to tell you the truth. I'm boring like that. :-P

  32. I;ve tried out candy writers to write "happy birthday" on cupcakes..but it just looked wrong. Cupcakes and other small cakes are the only things I bake, and I do it mostly for people's birthdays…so gourment pens would be more useful for that…and it is possible to write/draw so tiny lines and eyes and stuff..really important accessory in baker's set :)
    tusior@gmail.com

  33. I would love to use them to decorate sports-themed sugar cookies. I just tried your cheesecake recipe this weekend and it was amazing. Thanks for the great ideas!

    marcieblackstone@hotmail.com

  34. Oh.. let my hunt for edible writers be over….my cake pops need faces too….please pick me. I want my pops to be just as cute as yours! Love all that you do…never disappointed.

    zetatwain@aol.com

  35. potato chips….now that's an idea!

  36. OMG just when I think that the store is the best thing ever, and making a list of all I want to buy when I visit, you up it, and show us sooo much more!
    I want to visit tomorroww! But, speaking from India, that's not likely :( :'(

    I'd use the pens on cupcakes,cookies and savory snacks!

  37. Those markers look awesome. I would use them on cupcakes, cookies, cakes, and anything else I could think of to decorate. I would love to have a store like that near me. I'd be broke for sure:-)

    kbeck151@hotmail.com

  38. I would love to try them on cupcakes…LOVE the "MOM" cupcake you designed!!!!
    You are awesome!!!!!

  39. I would try them on a fondant cake.

  40. Broccoli.

    Just kidding! Cupcakes for sure.

    cmcdougall@undergroundshirts.com

  41. That store looks like baking heaven to me! I would also love a set of those pens to use on everything!

    betty.lalala@yahoo.com

  42. I would love to use them on cakepops :D

    ioelora @ hotmail . com

  43. I would be tempted to try them on the soaps I make. I am always looking for ways to get my soaps more detailed and I just can't find a good way to do that. My soaper tools just don't do the trick sometimes so I would love to test those out and see what I can create!

    biteofcat@sbcglobal.net

  44. OMG!!! I work at Michaels and thought that we had a lot of Wilton stuff!! This is heaven! I would use them for pops and cookies and hey why not cakes? I wish we had a place like this in Vegas? I have looked and none :( The things I could make for my grand babies!!!!

  45. I would be in heaven in that shop!

  46. I'd try them on cupcakes or sugar cookies :)

    nina.duckiwen@gmail.com

  47. I would love to use them on my Star Wars themed baked goods! Amazing!

    formeitsthree at yahoo dot com

  50. i think i'd try them out on some cookies, and cake pops.

    ilovemesomecupcakes@yahoo.com

  51. Wow! That store looks fun! I would love to try out those pens….It would be fun to do it with my kids…we are making cupcakes and ice cream this summer. A different kind each week. It would be fun to decorate them with these. Thanks!

  53. Oh my goodness, how fun! I've bought a few edible pens but they bleed too much. Nothing I make comes out like yours.
    I don't know how I would use them though. I'd go crazy trying them on anything. Edible pens are so fun! Thanks for the giveaway!

  54. Wow! that shop looks amazing, wish I had something like that near me… it's prob best I don't though as it would bankrupt me! I would try those pens out on cupcakes, yum!

  55. That store looks amazing, I might never come out if I went in! I would try the pens on cakes,and cupcakes.

    ajpettey@yahoo.com

  56. O! I've been looking for this type of product in the UK and couldn't find it!

    I'd use these to decorate cupcakes and also celebration cakes, I love art and baking and this product combines both! yay!

    Love,Apple!x

  57. Oh boy, I would definately be divorced after going into that store… Those pens look awesome, and I have been wanting to try them forever!!!!

  58. Ah, yes, markers =D I wants, would definately help to decorate cakepops =D
    If only we that kinda store in Belgium =S

  59. I would love to have a chance, just to try to cooke a cupcake!!!! thank you ! ! ! ?

  60. I tried making the smiley face cake pops for a party and could not find edible pens to draw the faces on to them. Instead, I used cake icing in a tube. Not as easy but still delicious. I'd like to try making them again with the pens!

    angelalou@gmail.com

  61. I would love these for my cupcakes & cannot get them here in Australia so that would be an added bonus.
    jendamato@bigpond.com

  62. I'd totally need these! :) I love making shaped cakes, if possible in 3D, they present a challenge to me, they exhaust me, but i'm always stress-free when they're over. Lately i've been playing with the idea of little marzipan or fondant or sth similar that i have yet to invent the recipe for figurines and these pens would be perfect for the details of faces (my next project in line is a lady-dragon cake from Shrek, with little figurines of Shrek and donkey sitting on it for my kid brothers). Please, lady luck, let me be picked! :)

    (maja (dot) zorga (at) gmail (dot) com)

  63. Awesome! I've been thinking about trying my hand at a marzipan frosted cake for my daughters birthday, so these might come in hand there!

  64. My good friend Sarah makes a lot of your stuff…I just live vicariously through you. If I won the pens, I would give them to her to try them out. Love your blog. Ciao…greetings from Italy

    Megan

    msmagoo67@gmail.com

  65. I would use them on cakepops, cookies, cupcakes, umm everything!!!

  66. Oh to have a store like that ANYWHERE near me?

    With a three and a half year old daughter, I can see myself using them a lot – faces on hard boiled eggs, flowers on her apple slices, and love notes on my husband's sandwiches for lunch…

  67. That store looks so awesome! I wish they had anything like that where I live. I would have to try cake-pops and probably some iced cookie decorating!

  68. I like the cookie idea, but to start I would use them on cake pops. The pens I found in my local store just don't seem to work like yours — so I would be excited to have a set of these.

  69. I would try them out on cupcakes.

  70. Thanks for the awesome tour. I must admit I'm jealous, I wish I had such a great store nearby… I could be in there for hours.

    I would try these pens out on sugar cookies with fondant. They would help greatly with the details. But I'd love to experiment with anything and everything!

  71. I would use them on EVERYTHING!! I could even try them on my little ones nose! :)

  72. I wish there was a store like that where I live!
    I'd probably try out those markers on cupcakes.
    raelaf@gmail.com

  73. If I had a store like that nearby, i would never go home again! (or yes I would, to start baking and try it all!)
    I would love to try markers like these on cake pops,making little fondant balls for the eyes isn't my strongest point ;-)

  74. I would put them into my kit and use them when inspiration strikes.

  75. I want to try them on fondant. I've tried another brand of writers, but the tip wasn't fine enough. I wish I lived by a cake/candy supply store like Cake Art! Thanks for the tour.

  76. I definitely would use them on cookies. My cookie faces need a LOT of work (to say the least) and these certainly would add some precision!

    jessvanderkolk@gmail.com

  77. That store looks like so much fun. I could find so may non-baking uses for the stuff there. I bet those molds would make some really adorable soaps.

    http://www.MissMotleys.etsy.com

  78. Hi, well….i would use them to write names on gift tags on gift cakes, cupcakes, cakepops…. i suppose on anything edible :D

    omorg@yahoo.com

  79. Why dont we have a place like that in Massachusetts:( Loved everything.

    chattymockingbird@hotmail.com

  80. Wow! Thanyou for the second tour of where you shop. Im just amaized with part 2 as i was with part 1!
    I have never even heard of food decorating pens, what a brilliant idea! And i would love love love to enter to win them :)
    I would use them firstly to write my name on my lunch for work lol and secondly, i would love to make marzipan characters,animals or flowers and decorate them with these fantastic pens :)

    sumeyyeyildizsazak@hotmail.com

  88. This store is amazing. I wish i have a same place in France…

    I would use these pens to decorate sugar cookies and cake pops!

  89. I am so jealous, I don't have a shop here that has all the fun stuff you've listed in your post. The closest thing we had actually closed. Boo Hoo!!

    I'd love the edible markers. I would use them to make an edible card that matches a piece of "art" I will be giving as a gift. How's that for having your cake and eating it too!!

    Love your posts and look forward to them!

  98. Thank you for the give-away! I would use them on decorative cookies I am making my niece for her wedding.

  99. I was going to say 'I would write 'Eye Candy' across my husbands chest' but I reconsidered (too messy, probably wouldn't let me, hair etc) and thought it would be nice to write individual names on cupcakes and send them in to my child's class at school:)

  100. OE!! i would love to use the markers on royal icing plaques and fondant!

    That store is awesome… dont have ones like that in South Africa…

  101. I am planning to decorate my cakepops with these pens!

    http://www.shortandsweets.net

  103. I'd almost kill for such a shop near home. Thousan kilometres away is too far away indeed.

    I love those markers. Do you know how difficult is to write without them. I'll use them in cake pops, cake balls, cupcakes, 3D cakes… Everywhere.

  104. wow!

    I would love to try them to make some happpy summer style cake pops!! pops of sunshines and lollipops!

    http://www.eatmorehappy.com

    Michelle.Rose15@three.com.au

    http://yaseminmutfakta.blogspot.com

    ps: i have an address in NY so delivery will not be a problem :D

  117. OMG I'm so jealous that you have a store like that! I've researched to find a baking supply store of some sort in my area, but the Internet results were not promising.

    All of those tools would be so handy. I think I'd use the edible ink pens for cupcakes and cookies to add a little flair to the party/holiday favors!

  118. I think using these on cookies would be incredibly fun–imagine the detail!

    nicole.llc@me.com

  119. cupcake decorations!

  120. They should have those stores in every major city (at least). As for the markers – Cupcake pops! I've been meaning to try something new for my sister's upcoming birthday in two weeks. Maybe the tools will inspire a design…

    sweetpea96513@yahoo.com

  121. um…. i'd love to try them on cookies! :D
    jcinme012@gmail.com

  122. I'd really love to spend a bundle at that store! I'd use the pen writers on my holiday cut-out cookies.

  123. While my "thing" is to bake cupcakes – I think I would try them on sugar cookies!

    This store looks awesome! Could go broke living too close to a place like that!

  124. I think it would be fun to try out the pens on different candies. Jawbreakers,jellybeans, gumballs, anything and everything!
    Michelle L

    christabohannan@yahoo.com

  127. Cake Pops, of course.
    Though it might be fun to try them out on some sugar cookies…

  128. I would love to try these out! I made your cake pops for my best friend's new baby. They were so cute and her husband proudly handed them out like cigars. Oh the possibilities!!!!

  129. i would use them for cake pops! I've been looking for more colors of these! it would be so exciting!

  130. Oooooh! I would use them on anything I possibly could! How cute it would be to make cookies for my hubby, and write different romantic messages on and leave them all over the house… or in his lunch… So fun!!

  131. The brand I bought myself didn't work well, I would love to try these out on my cupcakes to see if they work better!

  132. I'm dying to go there! I would totally use those on cupcakes.

  133. I would use them on homemade candy. Add some rainbows. :)

  134. Im a kindergarten teacher, and I would use them so that students could discover another means of art… using their favorite thing: food. Student could great their own favorite animal or decorate a cupcake to their mom. The possibilities are endless for them. I am just the teacher that facilitates their imagination!

  135. I´m glad this shop ain´t in my neighbourhood! We dont have shpos like this in Norway.

    I would have used the pens to write on BIrthday cakes or cupcakes!

  136. Cake pops, of course!

  137. I just discovered your blog – and your cake pops – a tiny while ago. I have wanted to try some cake pops ever since. Wouldn't it be SO fun to win a set of those edible ink pens?! It would certainly motivate me to get going on that!

  138. Cupcakes…. Sugar cookies. I have always wanted a set of those. I love your blog! I get so excited when you post something new : )

  139. Cake pops for sure, the black ones work great! I would love to do something with fondant and draw colorful swirls on the fondant!

  140. vegetables, maybe my kids will eat them if I let them decorate them! :)

  141. I love making cakes, so I would probably make some cute cakes, covered in fondant, and use those markers for some cool designs!

  142. First of all, your picture of cocoa butter really got me to wondering what it is used for, other than me thinking it is something mysterious and yummy (just because of its name). I looked it up on a couple of web sites and they blew my fantasies! It is really used to thin chocolate too!

    Now maybe if I had these pens my Cake Pops would start to look like they were made for human consumption! ;)

    Love you photos!

  143. I would write lunch messages to my son on his cookie! Or maybe his sandwich! I would make food just to write on them!

  144. My daughter and I would have a blast coloring cookies and cupcakes and bread, and well…anything that would provide a nice surface to be drawn/colored on. :)

  145. Anything! EVERYTHING!
    Most likely cupcakes because they are so fun to decorate!
    I wish I had a store like that I knew of in Toronto.. all I know about is Bulk Barn.. and it kind of stinks compared to this AMAZING store!

  146. I would definitely use those pens to decorate cookies and cupcakes!

    angelilee91@gmail dot com

  147. I would love to try them out on cake balls!! I couldn't find these around here when I made the cake balls and so I used black food coloring. Can we say disaster?! I *tried* to make the cute little chicks for Easter… they looked like demented chicks! I need these!! :D

  148. its my birthday, i'd love to win something on your site!! i love how creative you are!!

    i'd use them on cookies, and maybe to make breadmen!

  149. I will use them to make SpongeBob cakepops for my granddaughter's 3rd birthday party. She has turned into a SpongeBob fan – and the markers will allow me to use a lot of details!

  156. I would try cupcake pops again…the ones I bought did NOT work on the chocolate!

  157. Oh boy! I have been itching to try these out…! First I would probably make some summer-fun cake pops to give to my friends.

    Thanks! Amanda

  158. My 7 yr old daughter has been begging me to buy these to use on sugar cookies.

  159. If I had the edible pens I'd use them to write notes on sugar cookies I can send to my boyfriend who is currently in Iraq for a whole year. I'd put cute sayings on them and with the variety of colors, they will make the cookies more interesting and fun to eat. I know that would cheer him up!

  160. Using them on potato chips would be a challenge! My daughter's birthday is next month so I'll go with good ol' cupcakes.
    So much inspiration, I need to visit the cake shop…

  162. I just gave my Dad a membership to the "Baked Goods of the Month Club" — meaning he let's me know what he wants each month and I bake it for him :)

    How adorable would it be to write nice things to my papa on some royal icing!

  188. I tried to attempt your cow cakepops for my son's farm themed 1st birthday and the pens I used did a horrible job! The cakepops were delicious but were not so cute! I would LOVE to try them again with the right kind of pens! Thanks!
    haydenn88@hotmail.com
