Well, I'm getting closer to opening my own Cake Decorating storefront and I was hoping I could get some great hints and tips from all of you out there in cakeland with experience. I will have to outfit the kitchen from scratch and I am hoping to purchase the correct equipment in the beginning. I really don't want to waist any money. I will be purchasing a new DeLuxe Oven but I'm still deciding on which size. Also, if anyone has any great contracts for suppliers such as Cake Flower and Vanilla that would be great. I will also need to find a supplier of bags and custom boxes for cupcakes and cookies. If anyone has any great tips on items they wish they had had in the beginning or items they cant live without, I would love to hear about it. Thank you all! Lori Vreeke
