Newbie...gimme A List Of Basic Supplies
Decorating By crispyscupcake Updated 16 Feb 2007 , 12:26am by heather2780
I'm going to start decorating cakes. I'd like you to tell me what items I need starting out with. I already have the 29pc Wilton tip set, Sunbeam stand mixer ( I like it just as well as the Kitchenaid that I used to have and this sucker has more power and speeds than KA)...I also bought a 4 pc round Wilton cake pan set...What else folks? I'm using some of my tax return to fund my new "job".
Select a cake design, a get the materials to complete the task. It will give you a better idea of what you need. You could spend hundreds of dollars on things you may not really need.
If you don't already have a book, The Wilton site has many cakes, with a
complete list of everything you need to complete the cake design.
I agree with Joann. Start slow. If you are really serious, you will eventually want to have 2 of each of you most used pans, like 2 8" pans, makes baking much quicker to bake both layers at once.
I love the Magic Line pans, but they are kind of expensive. I have been slowly adding to my inventory.
I try to buy larger ticket items at Michael's when I have a coupon and can get 40 percent off or when Hobby Lobby has their big sale and puts all their Wilton on for 50 percent off.
Cindy
a turntable for icing and decorating is a must, use the Michaels coupon for 40% off
Bags whether parchment plastic or reusable I never have enough bags and tips I always have to have like 5 of every tip it is not fun to have to switch tips between colors parchment paper a turn table colors spatula's idea and how to books pans ofcourse. good luck with this venture and welcome to the obbsesive club trust me it is a never ending search seems like everytime I turn around there is a new it thing I have to have but it sounds like you are well on your way congrats.
