Few weeks ago, a crafty Seattleite which is at the back of Not Martha has been doing a lot of creativity work on cutest and tiniest cupcakes which I have never seen in this world.
When I checked on the words written on her cupcake, I saw visiting a seattle cake shop which somebody advised her to check. I have never heard anything about this sore before, immediately I went to North seattle to make an enquiry about it.
When I got there, I find out that this shop known as Home Cake Decorating Supply Co. is a family business that has been in existence since 1960. In this area, you will never see any merchandise shop like a la Sur La Table, Williams Sonoma or City Kitchens around except Home Cake Decorating Supply Co.
What makes Home Cake Decorating Supply Co. to be successful since 1960 are:
· Low cost of their products
· Entertain customer’s complain for correction
· Frilling products.
As people do say first impression matter most, when I look around this Co., I was a little bit disappointed in their arrangement which was bad and obvious. But I later knew that the Easter period has just ended and there was holiday on Sunday and Monday, this is Home Cake for you after a brief weekend break and a great activity and strong emotion that is often violent on baking shopping. After a while, I got over it and become fascinating by various attractive selections like cupcake tins of different sizes and colors, beautiful ribbons, French cake, silicone molds, tart pans, Madeleine, sanding, flavorings, superfine sugars, colored and coarse. The cute and colorful sprinkles of cupcake alone will make you to make long and high sound.
In this Home Cake Co., there are different types of chocolate, food coloring which is in rainbow shades, the most fragrant almond paste, hard candy molds, sugar flowers, icing tips galore, baggies, bags for home made confections and baked goods.
Home Cake Decorating Supply Shop is a well known shop among chefs, home bakers, seattle caterers, professional. It is known as baker’s world which is full of stacks of Martha Stewart, In Style Wedding for inspiration and motivation. I was so surprise at all the rich information of baking that Greil gives to her clients when helping them to do their shopping. She is so friendly in every of her answers.
Greil spare me some time and take me round her shop and along the line told me the shop history and her family. She also gave me some tips on how to make delicious buttercream icing with the help of luster dusts on handmade chocolates with food color paste.
At the end, I came out with numerous ideas and supplies on chocolate making and cupcake baking. These keep me busy for some time give me more inspiration on how to open a cake decoration shop of my own named Sugar High Fridays and Cupcake extravaganzas. And with this, cake decoration shops and highly flooded with baking materials, the sky is the limit.
