Ive googled and found a few places in Glasgow but dont have any recommendations for places to try. Im not needing anything too fancy, just like baking every now and then and Ive got my daughters birthday cake to make soon.

Anywhere between Glasgow, Edinburgh and Stirling is withing easy travelling distance for me.

  • I like to make and decorate cakes also and ive tried everywhere but to be honest i can find it all on ebay for cheaper or online, even craft shops there is one called barracks on maryhill road but its mostly wedding cakes and also one on the south side of glasgow but very expensive best bet check out ebay
  • Lakeland, have you tried there? There was also a lovely wee shop on Clarkston Road, but I don't know if its still there.

    If you're through Dundee way any time there's a shop in Broughty Ferry ( just outside Dundee) that specialises in cake making stuff. It's called the cake guru, she makes gluten free cakes too, not been in for anything yet, I don't really bake much.;)

  • The shop on Clarkston road is still there, it is called Creative Cakes and is great for all the little bits and pieces you might need. The staff are also very helpful and the prices are a good bit cheaper than Hobbycraft although this might be more handy for you, it's at the Fort Shopping centre on the M8 near Easterhouse. I have also found various bits and bobs in TK Maxx from time to time although this is very sporadic but I would definitely recommend it for baking tins, way cheaper than Lakeland. Happy baking!

    That one on Clarkston Road was the one I had found on google. Didnt get a chance to get there today. Got a few bits and bobs out of lakeland, Asda, and John Lewis but will give Hobbycraft and Creative Cakes a shot at the weekend too :)
  • hobbycraft is quite good but ive found it cheaper for the same thing on ebay so id check prices first, creative cakes is also good i couldnt remember the name of the shop when i posted earlier lol .

    Have you had a look in Sainsbury's they have a good selection of cake stuff not sure if the link will work but have a look here it should take you to the Sainsburys home baking section on mysupermarket, it may not all be in your local one though. I recently got a lovely pink cardboard cake tower for a few pound.
    ETA scroll down the page, the stuff at the top is cake mixes but different bits&bobs further down.
    Booo!!!

    Never thought about Sainsburys actually as the one near us is only a wee local one but will be at Braehead at the weekend so will have a look ta :)
