Cake Making Supplies

I'm planning to make a birthday cake and need lots of supplies! Does anyone know anywhere in Belfast or nearby that would do coloured fondant icing at a reasonable price?

I also need baking tins and bases, dowels and a smoother... I need everything, most of which I'm sure I can get online cheaply but if there is a good supplier local I'd rather use them, and I want t see the colour/qty if the icing before I buy - thanks in advance! :D

    https://www.creativecakes-ni.co.uk on Upper Newtownards Road have a great range of coloured fondant, baking tins (you can hire these too as far as I am aware) and loads of other stuff, I could spend a fortune in there!
  • lakeland will have some of this on Boucher Road, but creative cakes is more specialist.
  • Agree, Creative cakes is one of the few places in Belfast where you will find a good range of baking supplies

    For tins try also Lakeland on the boucher rd, and larger Tesco's and Asda do a good range of baking tins, fondant (white) and decorations

    Have fun!

    Hi

    Happened to notice that Sainsburys have a 1/3rd off a lot of their banking suppleis at the moment - decorations, buttercream icing etc.

    Might be quite good for filling up on the basics!!
