This white 10” cake box is ideal for storing and transporting a range of cakes and bakes up to 6” (15cm) in height.

It comes flat-packed in two pieces (base and lid), which means it takes up less space in your cupboard.

The base is quick and easy to assemble by simply hooking the sides into the pre-made slits. The lid comes with pre-glued corners and just needs the corners popping out.

I like to place my cakes onto the base of the box before affixing the sides. I find this easier than lifting the cake into the box and far less likely to cause any damage to the decorated cake!

You can also buy 10” round cake boards for your cake projects, which fit snugly into this cake box.

This 10” round cake board (drum) is lightweight yet sturdy and will take the weight of a tiered cake. At just shy of 1/2 inch (12mm) thick, it is much more robust than a cake card, making the transport of your beloved cake creation far less of a nerve-wracking experience!

Covered in food-grade silver foil, this cake drum is ready to use straight away. But if you would like to decorate the cake board for added effect, an 8” cake will fit nicely, but a 6” cake will give you more room to play with on the board.

We also sell 10” cake boxes to fit this cake board. They are ideal for storing and transporting cakes.

This set of three writing piping tips is perfect for a range of cake, biscuit, cookie, and cupcake decorating projects.

You can use these tips with fabric, parchment or disposable piping bags.

The tips are made from stainless steel and are easy to clean in warm soapy water. The two-piece coupler is designed to fit all standard sized piping tips.

Couplers are not essential for piping projects, but if you are using the same colour or flavour of icing with a variety of piping tips, then they are the cake decorator’s new best friend! They allow you to swap effortlessly between tips from just one bag of icing.

The rolling pin. One of the mainstays in any baker’s drawer of kitchen accessories! But which sort to buy? You can get wooden ones, polyethylene ones, marble ones, rolling pins with handles, tapered rolling pins and so on. And all of these in a range of lengths, diameters and weights. Phewsh!

One of the more traditional types of rolling pin – and one many of us will associate with our Grannies when baking with them as a child – is the wooden pin with handles at either end. This is the style of rolling pin hanging off the bottom of our iconic bakery sign. But it’s not what we use in the bakery.

Wooden rolling pins are great and they look fantastic, but for our requirements, they are not the most practical. The biggest drawback for us is their moisture-absorbing properties.  With constant washing and need to reuse, a wet rolling pin is not ideal.

So we opted for a polyethylene rolling pin as our first purchase for the bakery.  And we now have quite a few of them in different sizes.  They are sturdy, non-stick, easy to clean and don’t absorb moisture, which means you can wash and reuse them in a matter of minutes. They’re also a non-stick rolling pin, which means you don’t have to keep flouring them. Bonus.

We have several of these small rolling pins in our bakery toolkit as they’re great for little projects when you’re only rolling out a small quantity of dough or sugarpaste or when you’re working in a confined space!

These interlocking 3-d Christmas tree biscuit cutters will provide you with hours of baking and decorating fun in the run up to the festive season.

Make up your favourite sturdy biscuit dough (or use the one we will send you). Cut out the shapes, bake them and wait for them to cool. Then assemble them and decorate them as simply or outlandishly as takes your fancy!

You can mount them on miniature cake cards and place them on your Christmas dinner table –  if you can resist eating them, that is! Or do as we did and bake large round biscuits to mount them on – so there’s even more edible yumminess to demolish at a later date

The recipe we will send you with your purchase of this cutter set uses both milk and eggs. If this is not suitable for your dietary preferences, you will need to use a recipe of your choice. But please make sure it is one where the biscuit dough holds its shape when baked.

This is a great baking and decorating project to get stuck into in the run-up to Christmas. Stick on your favourite festive soundtrack, pull on your pinny and away you go!

Piping bags are typically made from one of three materials: fabric, parchment / baking paper or disposable.

We prefer to use disposable piping bags over fabric ones for hygiene reasons. They provide us with a better grip than parchment piping bags.

We generally only use one piping nozzle for a single cake or cupcake decorating project. But if you are using multiple nozzles, you can use a coupler with these piping bags. This lets you switch between nozzles without emptying the buttercream from the bag first.

If you thoroughly wash and dry these piping bags in hot, soapy water, you can reuse them several times.  They are strong enough to withstand a good few washes.

You can also buy our favourite piping tip – the drop flower cupcake piping tip – to use with your piping bags.

Not limited to buttercream, these bags can also be used for piping chocolate ganache and royal icing on to your cake and biscuit creations.

Do you know the difference between a good looking cupcake and a *great* looking cupcake? It comes down to the type of cupcake piping tip you choose.

This large, drop flower (JEM 1B) piping tip is our absolute favourite at the bakery. It produces beautiful buttercream swirls for the tops of your cupcakes.  Each swirl can easily be crowned with a decoration such as a chocolate button or piece of fruit.

You can use the tip with fabric, parchment or disposable piping bags.

The tip is made from stainless steel and is easy to clean in warm soapy water. It will last and last – we’ve had ours for years.

Why not bake a batch of our gluten-free coffee and walnut cupcakes to road-test your new piping nozzle?
