What Would You Put On Your Caking Christmas List

I think the question is what ISN'T on my caking gift list. ^-^ I'm a hobby baker and would love an Agbay... but can't justify it yet. I want some hex, petal, and paisley pans in that order. I want a professional tilting turntable. I want an airbrush set even though I probably won't get as much use out of it as I would like. I want all sorts of cutters and tools for fondant and gumpaste. Sooo many toys, but none are going to be mine until at least next October unless there is a big sale. I just don't cake enough for people to think of those things for me. I think the turntable will be my next investment.
Leah_s - when I was looking for cutters for a damask pattern, I called and talked to Jennifer. She said she was going to work on a new set specifically for damask. Not sure when she will get them done, but I am watching! I ended up buying several different sets, and I will get the new ones she makes whenever she comes out with them!
Odyssey, My advice (and you didn't ask for it) is to forgo the tilting turntable. Whenever I need to work on a cake at an angle (for easier writing on the side of a cake, for example) I just shove a bench scraper under the cake board. The handle elevates the cake perfectly. I've been caking for 50 years and never, ever had a tilting turntable on my wish list. Also, it's just something extra to store.
If you are getting into fondant, invest in the PME tools (start with the basic kit first.) Things like that. Then slowly build up to whatever you need/want. (I wish someone had told me this before I bought every Wilton piece of junk out there and threw it all away a year later when I was first starting out!)
LOL! I too bought every peice of Wilton junk i found and later dicovered that many are useless.
I asked for a 6" ML square cake pan.
you should ask for TWO!!!
I would but my list was already overflowing. My mom told me she wasn't getting it because shipping cost more than the pan and I told her if she didn't, I'd have to. LOL. I ended up finding it on Amazon with free shipping but it at least gave me an excuse to explain to mom why cakes are so expensive!
