Where to get nice cake decorations

[Pidge]

I am baking a cake for my dd and her friend who are having a joint party (both going to be aged 2) ... I'm going to do a normal cake but I'm also going to make a batch of Nigella's cupcakes. In her book she's got some lovely little rice paper roses on her cupcakes - all I could find in Sainsbury's were some horrid unidentifiable animals, and some odd looking flowers. Does anyone know where I can get really nice cake decorations. Maybe online?

dont know about online, but most cookshops sell them. You know the ones with the expensive pots and pans in

Lakeland do them

Nogella lists stockist it eh end of her book

There's a great cake dec shop near me which does lots of these kinds of things (also fab things like holly-leaf cutters, coloured icing, etc). There must be one near you too. Try Yellow Pages. Like you Pidge I have found Sainsbury's and Asda disappointingly rubbish at this kind of thing.

www. cakecraftshop.co.uk. They are in Bromley.do lovely decs. got the noahs ark for ds' christening cake. lovely!

Thanks guys ... that cakecraftshop site is fantastic ... have just spent ages looking at different size roses etc!
