50 bucks!!!

I am excited....but WHAT DO I BUY???

I know....poor, poor me! What a dilema....

What is a must have item out there??

Should I stock up on things like meringue powder and decorating bags?? Or get some new and duplicate tips?

I have a tackle box, tips from classes, a cupcake tree, several character pans....

Thanks all!!!!

books, bags, boards and tips but make sure you use a coupon so your gift card can go even further!

I got one for Christmas and it is just about used up. I pair it with the discount every few weeks and get sculpey & clay molds for cake stuff, and stock up staples (extracts, mereinge (sp?) etc. Love it. It is nice to have on hand for last minute or oooops I forgot stuff so I tend to draw it out.

I went today and bought some nesting star fondant cutters, mixing bowls, shimmer dust in every color they had, 3 new tips to replace others that had been eaten by the garbage disposal and two icing colors.

I have about 5$ left icon_biggrin.gif

Glad to hear someone else has ground up tips in their garbage disposal. Makes me so mad to do that! You asked what people can't do without - I can't do without my standard pans - different sizes of round, square and sheet cake pans. I use those for just about every single cake I make. Hope you had a Happy Birthday!
