Home Cake Decorating Supply

This shop is fantastic. The owner is friendly and helpful, she will give you all the information you need and help you find what you’re looking for. They have a TON of merchandise and are always willing to order things special for you. Definitely worth the trip!

«Beware: you will suddenly feel a surge of creativeness upon entering the store.»
This store contains massive amounts of cake decorating supplies enough to satisfy your inner «Cake Boss» dreams. Stacks of cake pans, boxes of cutters, and various tools and toppers are displayed in mini box bins. The initial reaction when I entered the store was «WOW.» There were so many selections that my initial idea for my cake suddenly evolved into a more elaborate design. The store owner was kind enough to provide me with an on-​the-​spot recommendation for my cake design. She helped select specific presentation boards, boxes, fondant, roller, offset spatulas, and piping tips. The prices are very reasonable and the tips and tricks by the owner is free. My overall impression of this place reminds me of a small town store were the main goal is to ensure you are enjoying your cake decorating experience and that you have all of the tools needed to create your masterpiece.

If I could I’ll give this place 10 stars. The owner is a delight, never pushi ava she’s very informative. She gives you ideas and and advise. Also she gives uppity space to look around and explore the amazing store.
This place is truly a bakers dream.
Informative fact: The owner told me the business has been there for 60 years !! SO COOL

I absolutely love this place and the proprietor Gril! She never tries to over sell you, I almost feel like I’m walking away with too little but at the end of my project it’s just right… she’s like Goldie locks:) I have been shopping here for almost 10 years, here’s to another 10 years!

A totally fabulous find! Check this place out– they have everything you need for artistic inspiration in modern cake design!

I love this place, especially because it’s locally owned. It gets really busy during Christmas but I don’t mind. There is tons of stuff & I often buy things I don’t really need. Just bring some patience when it’s busy.

I love this Seattle gem!
First of all, this is not Michaels, so if that’s what you have in mind, please do not come to Home Cake. Yes, as other reviewers have said, this place is PACKED full of awesome supplies, and yes, it is chaotic. But, if you are willing to give Home Cake a chance, I believe you will not regret it.
I came in looking for icing decorator tips. I was asked if I needed help and when I showed her (I believe it was the owner) the pic on my phone of the iced cupcakes I wanted to replicate, she gave me a thorough (yet not too lengthy) explanation of what would work best. I bought multiple icing tips, colored sugar and random other items.
I receive great service, found wonderful products, and paid very reasonable prices = I give this business an enthusiastic 5 stars.
Please support a local family owned business (in operation since 1960.)

This store’s key to success seems to be keeping prices low by embracing a little mess and doing without frills in a quiet North Seattle neighborhood.”

My daughter was having her first birthday and I got it in my head that I wanted to make the cake. This was a terrible idea because 1) I am not a great baker and 2) other than simple frosting, I have never decorated a cake before. The owner walked me through the whole process and gave me great tips. The products I bought were great too. I bought her frosting base and it made the most delicious frosting I have ever tasted and I don’t even like frosting. The cake turned out beautifully too. It was so cute, a white cake with purple polka dots. I never would have been able to pull off such a great cake without the owner’s help.

Every city should be so lucky as to have a place like this. Great selection of professional-​quality flavors and colors at kickass prices. They carry the brands I like (Americolor, Ateco, LorAnn) and the advice is priceless.
Everybody from people attempting their first Spongebob Squarepants cake to wedding cake pros will find something they need here, and a few things they didn’t even know they needed.

This is the best place to get your supplies for baking cakes! I inquired about a product and it’s use and the lady explained to me why I didn’t even really need that product then explained why. How many companies do you know that will loose a sale to teach you something? I have the utmost respect for this store and it is the only place I will shop for my cake supplies.

I have been going here for years. It is a throwback to the 40’s even (??) and is at least second generation. It is crammed with stuff and wonderful!!! I have found many things that I needed and didn’t think I needed through the years. I was laughing at the review that tells the owner to get over herself! Honey, she learned this stuff at her mother’s knee when Martha Stewart was still sabotaging the girls in her brownie troup. It is crammed but NOT disorganized. JoAnne’s isn’t even in her league, but go where you are comfortable.

I read all the reviews before coming here, so thank God because I would have brought my double stroller! I ended up wearing my son and walking with my toddler. We walked in and it was like Heaven. Ahhhh I loved it! The owner was sweet as can be and helped me pick out everything. She gives the best customer service and made me feel like family. I asked her if she reads her Unilocal reviews and she said no because she doesn’t want to get a big head lol. But anyways, it is a bit chaotic in there and my daughter was running around grabbing things. I got onto her and the owner told me not to worry about a thing and that she’d watch her while I shopped. How freaking sweet is that?! Her prices are decent and she is so knowledgable! I asked if she had cupcake stands and she said «yeah, I could sell you a really expensive cupcake stand, or I could sell you the stuff to make them yourself for cheaper!» I love how she actually wanted to help me out because I totally would’ve bought a cupcake stand lol. But anyways, every baker should check out this nifty little shop: D

What a hidden treasure this shop is. Griel is lovely and this cluttered shop is like an old hardware store with tools and supplies in every corner. If you can’t see it, she probably has what you want in the back. You might not know what you need before you get there, but you’ll find something wonderful inside. The prices are excellent, better than the chain stores.

This place is a homemade confection crafter’s dream.
It’s a mom and pop style place, loaded with tools and accessories to make cakes. This is a great place to go to get things to prepare for a special-​occasion cake (birthday, children’s birthday, wedding, etc. etc.) I was impressed by the variety of cake molds they have available. There were Mickey Mouse shaped pans, Spongebob shaped pans, car shaped pans, etc.) My point of reference are places like Target that don’t offer much in terms of bakeware. I snagged a 9″ heart-​shaped cake pan and mini-​teddy bear cake pan. They also have a variety of decorating accoutremonts available, such as figurines. There were cake flowers made of royal icing that were being sold at the front desk. Very pretty, I had to ask if they were edible, and sure enough they were. The price range of the items are moderately priced (not too cheap, to the pricey range. Example: One rotating cake platform, $ 70. Teddy bear cake pop pan, $ 26 – a tad steep for humble cake maker such as myself.)
The staff is friendly and helpful, and provided a couple of useful tips upon checkout that I applied to my cake making that day; which made a huge difference. Thank you.

Grielle, shares her knowledge & expertise that was handed down from her Mom. This is a spot for everyone who wants to bake beginners to pastry chefs… everyone is equal & welcome. BTW, the quality of bakeware is superb, plus the prices won’t bowl u over!!!

Great go-​to little spot for any cake-​making needs. They have crammed an amazing amount of inventory into one little spot and chances are they have just about anything you’re looking for. This spot is almost always busy, so be patient! But the owner is fantastic with questions and recommendations.

Good place if you know exactly where everything is… I just really wish the owner would tidy up a bit because it’s just sooo overwhelming!
Also I wish there were more people working there. I went in getting just 2 packs of sprinkles and the person in front of me had some questions… The owner explained things so in depth I felt like I was in a classroom, she was the only one working. I really need to go… I only need my two packs of sprinkles and want to get out of the tiny space…

This place is amazing! If you need a baking supply this place has it and the owner has so many tips and tricks.
I come here at least once a week to restock my supplies and look around at the seasonal items.
The prices are really reasonable and the inventory is extensive. Not the largest most organized store, but the owner knows where everything is! I love this place, it’s baking heaven.

This is a mecca for cake decoration/​baking supplies in Seattle. If you like baking or can’t find any baking supplies in Seattle, I’m willing to bet that you would find the supplies you need here. They have a large stock of supplies and I had some fun checking out a large selection of supplies that they have. Unlike other baking or generic stores in this area, Home Cake Decorating Supply Co. is unpretentious and does sell baking/​cake supplies at a much more affordable price. I took some cake decoration classes and dropped by this place to get some piping heads that I couldn’t find anywhere. The lady there not only took the time to help me decide which ones to get but also give me advices on how best to utilize some of my supplies without having to buy extra things as well.

This holiday season I decided that I would try making high-​quality boutique-​style chocolates (see photo #13). I was so pleased to learn that the HCDS Co. carries almost everything I need. I was able to find these chocolate-​making/​gifting supplies:
— Bulk chocolate: from dark Guittard to colored/​flavored disks.
— Chocolate molds: From inexpensive plastic molds to pro-​quality polycarbonate and silicone molds.
— Edible supplies: Natural flavorings for fillings, pre-​made marzipan and caramel, cocoa butter, chocolate dyes, luster dust, petal dust, and sparkle dust.
— Prep. and decorating tools: Candy and chocolate thermometers, confectioners paint brushes, pastry tips/​bags, and chocolate-​handling gloves.
— Packaging materials: paper cups in every size and color, presentation bags and boxes of all kinds and a wall of ribbons to choose from.
The only supplies that I had to go elsewhere to buy were my basics (nuts, corn syrup, confectioners sugar, heavy cream, etc.) and a few specialized polycarbonate chocolate molds. I also wish they had carried some fancier high-​end chocolate like Valrohna but, given that this is primarily a cake shop, I imagine that it would be expensive to stock.
This store is well supplied with all those little incidental supplies that you need for your dessert projects. It is definitely a bit cluttered and things can be hard to find sometimes, but the owner is extremely knowledgeable and will point out what you need if you ask.
Give yourself a good 30 – 60 minutes for your visit… there is so much to see!

You definitely want to go to this store when you’re not in a hurry, because a) there are so many things to look at, and b) yeah it’s kind of a mess. We were there looking for candy molds for chocolate and didn’t really know what we wanted, so we didn’t mind poking around and searching through boxes all over the store — to us, that was part of the fun.
The store is smallish, but CRAMMED to the ceiling with all kinds of fancy cake pans, candy molds, colored sugars and sugar decorations, flavorings, cookie cutters, and more kinds of cupcake wrappers than I have ever seen in one place. Animal-​print birthday candles? You got it! Sugar candy googly eyes? Sure! And it’s all mixed together throughout the store, so if you don’t find what you’re looking for, it’s probably tucked away somewhere on the other side of the room.
It was surprisingly busy on a Saturday afternoon, and the lady behind the counter periodically called out to everyone generally, asking if anyone needed anything, but otherwise let us do our thing without hovering, which I like. We had some questions about melting chocolate and she happily gave us some tips and advice.
I agree with other reviewers that there is a bit of a markup vs. grocery or discount stores, but then again, most of what this store has can’t be found anywhere else. Buy the basics at Target or wherever and come here for your rabbit-​riding-​a-​rooster candy mold needs.
