hi there! i am trying to find an online store that i can buy the powdered food colour and dusts from that is LOCATED in Canada. i have tried ebay.ca, but they are all out of the states and the customs duty is ridiculous. the nearest store to me that carries them is 1/2 hour away and charges 7.50 per dust. any ideas? thanks!

Golda's Kitchen http://www.goldaskitchen.com/ is in Mississauga and carries lustre dust. I've never ordered from there though so I don't know about shipping costs. You can probably find something on the site though. That place has lots of stuff though.

I know that you can get lustre dust at www.goldaskitchen.com ... don't know about powdered colour though. You could also try www.creativecutters.com

Hope it helps!

Hi Jana, have you been to scoop-n-save in Langley? That's the only cake-deco. store that I know of in this area.....there's got to be some more in Vancouver though, don't ya think?

Hi I live in Chilliwack and shop at Scoop n save and there dust is $7.50. When I shop in the states I have my items shipped to Ship Happens in Sumas Wa. They charge you $4-$5 when you pick it up so you are saving further shipping charges to Canada it works great and depending what you spend there may not be any duty I use them all the time when I order out of Canada. You can check them out on the web

last week I picked up items for my printer that I had ordered Ship Happens charged me $4 cdn the bill was $123. and I paid $5.60 in duty at the boarder . PM me if you need more info.

depending on what supplies you want Nicholsons Equipment has lots of cake supplies in Burnaby on Kitchner Ave. cake boards, americolor, pans, wilton equip, gumpaste flowers and much more. I order most of my supplies from them I either have it shipped to me or I pick it up if I'm in Vancouver.
