I know what you're thinking....I really do, I'm clairvoyant....it doesn't look like much....but you'll have to trust me on this one. In this case, a picture may be worth a thousand words but what's INSIDE is worth a thousand cookie cutters and THEN some!
Home Cake Decorating Supply is simply the most fascinating store in Seattle....for the home baker that is. (Click on the highlighted link and read what Bon Vivant had to say about it.) It's loaded with stuff....things you need and things you don't know you need until you see them.
My good friend Roxanne told me about this place a few years back - she had been going there for years and years and I now wonder why she waited so long to tell me about it?!?! Keeping secrets is not nice!
Sorry for the bad photo....it's blurry....or maybe it's just the STORE that's blurry....there is so much stuff crammed into each square inch that you really have to take your time or you might miss something important....like the best colored sugars or the cutest little bags or the most interesting cake pans - Home Cake Decorating Supply has everything - but finding it is the challenge! After you've looked for something for a while - don't give up, just ask the owner and she'll go right to it.
I'm telling you - this place is worth the visit! It's been open since 1960 - and I'm sure some of the original merchandise is still there....it's a family owned business and the owner knows everything there is to know about cakes and candy or whatever it is you might be wondering about. I make it in there about once every other month - and I always find something new - plan a field trip soon - it's in North seattle and where ever you're coming from it will be worth the drive.
