My friend whom I met at my wilton class called today to see if I wanted to go to this local cake supply store. Of course, I said yes. Well I walk in and couldn't believe my eyes. Katie and I looked at each other and said "HOLY $&*#"! I found Americolor there. I was so excited. I found tons of candy molds and cookie cutters. I just wanted to tell everyone about my day and I missed you all since I haven't been on since last night.

Good for you! We have so few cake supply stores here finding a new store would be a gold mine!
Enjoy

Glad you had a fun day. We have no stores around here except Walmart. For a cake supply store that has a nice inventory, I have to drive to Memphis, which is 2 hours away. Even the closest Michaels or Hobby Lobby is over an hour away!

me too, thyterrell. i've already purchased everything our wal-mart has (could fit in a shoebox ). i've ordered somethings online, but the shipping always gets me. sunday i drove an hour to michaels & thought i was in heaven ). i was so excited that i wanted to get on here immediately & tell everybody. i'm already plotting an excuse to get back there this weekend.

i meant to ask if hobby lobby's selection is similar to michaels? i wanted to go there, but they were closed on sundays.

the h.l. by me has about the same as Michaels. I agree my walmart has nothing. But the store I was at today I just couldn't believe. Can you believe this is all new to me and my mom says "oh yeah you never heard or been to that store"? Hello mom you know I have been decorating cakes for 2 months now and you know about this store.

Hey, were is the store? I'm in MI to and always looking for a good supply store. PM me where you are and Ill give ya my favs. to visit.

Hey jmcakes- isn't it a great feeling when you go to a great supply store! My husband gets nervous though I had to do a double take when I saw your post...I thought I had written a post and forgotten. Note that our usernames are quite similar AND I am from MI AND we joined the same day! I have to say it's weirding me out a bit !!

I have found cake supplies at my local Ace Hardware store . They even carry boxes! They have a very large selection of pans, tips, icing bags, cake circles, cake fillings, flavors, the list goes on and on. They used to carry a full line of Wilton Wedding products but discontinued the wedding line a couple of years ago. I was able to get lots of stuff, I went weekly cuz they would mark everything down again. I lucked out and got most of my stuff 60% - 90% off.

That is weird Junecakes.
I shold try my local ace hardware. I know target had 8in. and 4in. heart pans for a buck around valentines day.
