Seriously Tired Of The Lack Of Products In The Uk

Oh I totally forgot about this thread!! I have not stopped singing it's praises since I found it. This fondant is simply amazing, it doesn't stretch, it doesn't tear, I don't get elephant skin on it - it's just marvellous. I roll it to about 1/16th inch, so super thin, and it's still a dream to work with. I'm so glad I found it.
For the longest time I just knew that you guys in the UK had a veritable Shangri-La of caking supplies, because when I was a kid twenty years ago, the cake shops in North Carolina had to order all of the interesting toys from...England. The really stunning cake books were English and Australian and I wanted to try everything in them.
I was so jealous, thinking you could just march into cake stores and not have someone look at you like you had a second head growing out of your neck when you asked for fondant or crimpers or gum tragacanth. Thank the cake gods for Nicholas Lodge and his tylose sugarpaste recipe, because I could finally quit trying to find the ingredients required in the flower paste recipes in those books 
I live in the states, but I have a lot of luck with Squires Kitchen, especially for veiners. They have all sorts of things gumpaste related. squires-shop.co.uk if my memory serves me right. Another good source for veiners ( and tutorials ) is duskyroseveiners.co.uk., but veiners is all they do, though, botanically correct, too. They have really good prices, too.
Have a word with Lindyscakes.co.uk, the send their stock all over the world, including China, Oz, USA and are always keen to hear what their customers would like them to stock.
