Ready-made fondant is available through party supply outlets. There are also many recipes online for homemade fondant.

Spray Color Mist – is a fun addition to your baking repertoire. Frost your cake white, then spray on edible color from an aerosol can. Available in many colors, it can be utilized with stencils to make unrivaled designs, as a highlight to whipped topping – even on your child’s mashed potatoes!

Luster Dusts – are an edible food safe “dust” which can be used on any frosting recipe that dries hard and firm to the touch. Brush it on white frosting for a metallic-like glossy sheen or layer it for interesting color effects.

Cake Stampers – can be used along with brush-on color for fondant icing. Simply stamp shapes and designs into the finished fondant and tint with brush-on color.

Cake Stencils – Place stencil on iced cake and sprinkle edible glitter, confetti sprinkles, or utilize spray-on color mist.

It is probably no surprise to know that whether you purchase from a High Street store or on the Internet, that there is a wide range of prices for exactly the same thing. The one advantage that the High Street stores have of course is that there are no shipping costs to pay! However, please do consider how much it costs you in fuel and parking costs to get to that shop! Often it is even more and you really have to leave the home which is time consuming!

The Internet is particularly useful even if it’s just to check out what’s available and what you should expect to pay. If you go searching in the shops, how long will it take to find what you want and will it be in stock anyway? How often have you gone shopping without phoning first to check stock levels? A lot of people are guilty of that one!!

There are other issues connected with going to the shops of course such as the weather (will you get drenched or not)? Do you have to take children with you, if so how much extra is that going to cost you in treats!? How long does it take to get to the stores? Fine if it’s just down the road, but often specialist shops may not be that close. Although most of the cake decorating supplies you are liable to buy may not be large, if you get a lot, have you considered how you will carry them back home? Not that bad if you go by car, but public transport – a nightmare! Get the post-man involved, much easier and it keeps someone in work as well!

Commonly, surf the web, find what you want and then do a price check at other online stores. It is unlikely that a specific store will be the cheapest for everything, so you will need to work that one out for yourself. A suggestion is that when you are looking where you can buy your cake decorating supplies, just go for the store that had the fastest delivery and that ‘felt’ right – very scientific, but do trust your instinct and have fun unwrapping your goodies!

You see, anyone can bake a cake, but to decorate it is the strength of the select few. But don’t worry – you too can discover the wonders of cake decorating easily. The best place to get started is online. There are thousands sites of free information online about cake decorating.
