Cake Decorating | Cake Decorating Tools and Accessories

Cake Decorating


Cake is always a good idea. Whatever the occasion, whether it's a Christening, Communion, Confirmation, Birthday, or Wedding - You need a cake! Home baking is a wonderful way to make the occasion extra special and personal. With the range of Cake Decorating Supplies available nowadays, it has never been easier to make a professional looking cake at home. 

A great way to make a cake look the part is to choose a cake tin in a shape that suits the occasion! For example, a football shaped cake is a great idea for a footie fan. Cake tins make it easy to create the shape you want. Then all that's left is to decorate.



Fondant icing is a wonderful tool to create a themed cake, with every colour of the rainbow available, you can roll it onto the cake or create shapes with it. Fondant icing is especially good for creating characters on your cake. Icing flowers are also a fantastic way to decorate a cake, especially for Wedding Cakes. Choose from individual icing roses or a larger flower spray. Another edible Cake Decoration is a sugar dragee, to create a pearl effect around the edge of your cake. 

Once you have your cake decorated with edible treats, why not finish it off with a Cake Topper? Wedding Cake Toppers are a must, choose from a romantic figurine of a couple embracing, or a Personalised Cake Topper with your marital name. Birthday Cake Toppers are also a great way to decorate your cake, whether you chose a cake topper with their age or not. A Personalised Birthday Cake Topper can be a wonderful souvenir for the Birthday boy or girl.



You've baked it with love, now make it memorable!

Celebrate First Holy Communion Gift | Party Decorations

Celebrate Confirmation and First Holy Communion in Style in 2019

January is the time when parents begin to think about their children’s First Holy Communion and Confirmation. The first Confirmations are performed as early as the end of January and early February, while First Holy Communions tend to occur from March onwards.

First Holy Communion / Confirmation Celebrations

Religious indoctrination is ongoing during the school year and peaks prior to the ceremony often with much rehearsal for the day. Outside of school, parents are shopping for outfits and planning the post Communion / Confirmation Party for extended family and close friends.

While many parents opt to entertain in a hotel setting, many others choose to remain in their homes. Regardless of which option is chosen all parents like to use themed decor for the party.


Themed Decorations

Begin by decorating the room with ‘Honeycomb Balls, Latex and Foil Balloons, Streamers and personalized Banners

Decorate the table in themed cover, plates, drinking cup and centerpieces such as Cupcake Stands and of course the ‘all-important cake. 

Communion / Confirmation Cake Decorations

Long before the big day, a parent or family member bakes the celebratory cake. It is iced and decorated with a religious theme, often to be transported on the big day. Good stores stock a range of roll-out icing, cake top decorations, cake boards, and boxes so the customer has a one-stop-shop for all the little bits and pieces

Personalised Party Decorations

Some families love to personalize the celebrations, especially if they are doing so in a hotel. Personalized balloons floating above the table with the child’s name give them a thrill when they enter what would otherwise be just another public space. Personalized banners are great for facilities that can provide a smaller room for just the family and of course, it’s always great to see the child’s name on a bespoke cake topper
