I remember a thread about a giant store with everything related to cakes, but I can't find the thread. Anyone know the name?

Yay!!! Thank you so much! Do you have any experiences with them? How is their pricing? Are they knowledgable?

I thought that they were going out of business? Is that what they were saying at the AZ cake and sugar art show or was it just advertising a sale? I'm probably wrong. Sorry.

I was there yesterday, in fact, and I didn't any kind of indication that they were going out of business. The items seemed to be priced almost exactly like JoAnn or Michael's. But they have a far greater selection of a lot of things not available at the other two.

A lady there said her husband called that store the Home Depot for women. So I now call it "Home Deco."

ABC is the only cake decorating supply store here. I've been there many, many times. They have everything and then some. Their staff is very knowledgeable and will help you with any questions. They've gotten newer products in the last year that you can't find anywhere else but online too.

They have every basic thing you'd ever need.

Ok dumb question but do they offer coupons? Like, you can get 40 percent off coupons at virtually any time for Michaels or Joannes. Does ABC offer anything? It's been said their prices are reasonable, but reasonable + 40 percent off is even better! THANK YOU!

As far as I know they don't have coupons. They are an independently owned store and not part of a large chain. They do have clearance racks that they put by the front door which often have some pretty cool things.
Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore.

ABC is a great store, spent all of my money there every time I went. LOL I was just back in AZ a month ago and they weren't going out of business, staff is great and they always have tons of stuff to buy including cake mags.
Happy shopping!

On that note, since I have some AZ girls in here with me, do any of you buy supplies (pans, etc.) from restaurants, auctions, or any place like that? I'd like to buy a bunch of pans in the near future and am trying to find the best deal.

I think people might be confusing the fact the Christy's Cake had her final going out of business sale and I think they had flyers to that effect at the cake show. ABC had LOTS of the good stuff.
