It's definitely a niche shop. I'm not sure of any other shops like it in the PDX metro area. I would describe it as a very middle of the road shop. They have lots of supplies and a great choice of cookie cutters. I found the prices a bit high and the lighting was a bit dim to see well. read more

I stopped by to make a purchase of several items and found them closed. I was traveling through the area and prolonged my stay to accommodate the hours listed on the website. I've made several attempts to contact them and they are unresponsive. read more

I am so glad I found this place! It has almost everything! I am hoping to take some classes here in the new year!

Coming from Los Angeles the prices here were way high but oh well this is literally the the place I found on yelp close to Washington. They have the stuff you need right now, which is good. Would I come again? Maybe if I needed something ASAP and couldn't buy it online. Very nicely organized and friendly. read more

I've been ordering custom edible images from this store for several years. The product was great and the customer service top notch. In the instance that my image might not have desired resolution, I've always got a phone call to let me know ahead of time. When my image was ready for pickup, I got notified by call or email. My last two encounters however were not up to par at all. Last week I've ordered an image and never received any kind of notification that's it ready to be picked up. When I called to ask when will be order be ready, I was told that's it is ready. This week I've ordered another image. My requested size was 5x7. Knowing that I will not be alerted about pickup I went to the store. My image was indeed ready, however the size was 3x4. I asked why they didn't print 5x7, the associate went to the back and than told me that that's an image I sent them. In case like this I would at least expect a call notifying me to change my image dimensions if they are not able to do it themselves. But unfortunately I am left with an image smaller than a postcard. read more

My aunt, cousin and I were really excited to go to this store after talking about it for a few weeks. Upon walking in we noticed some really cute cookies that were displayed on a spinning rack. We had no clue they weren't for sale as there was no sign stating that. I asked the lady at the register how much they were, she answered me in such a rude way making me feel dumb for not knowing they weren't for sale. She then goes to say their samples from a decorative class. We then go to say "oh cool you have classes here, how much?" She states the price which was reasonable but her tone was so condescending, anything that was asked to her seemed like a bother. No thank you, definitely wouldn't want to pay money to sit with someone who can't even make someone feel comfortable in the store. Her customer service was 1000% AWFUL! I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone just because of that. They had such cute things in there, too bad the ladies vibe can just ruin someone's mood to shop. read more

Always has most obscure baking contraptions, several I can't even get from Amazon. I always check this shop and usually leave with way more than I intended. read more

Pleased to find out that Blake's Decorette Shop is placing orders online or over the phone for curbside pickup. Super easy to do. So if you're baking these days... cookie cutters, chocolate chips, decent pans and of course cake supplies, this is the place to go. As other reviewers have mentioned, the layout of this mall is a bit unusual. There's an upper level closer to Hall, and then down the hill there are more shops where Blake's is. Small businesses we want to make it through the economic hard times ahead... this is definitely one of them! read more

This a mom and pop kind of store, we found what we needed at a reasonable price. I would rather take the 30 min drive to this shop then order on Amazon.. it's nice to actually see what you are buying and it's expiration dates. So many items and it's well organized. read more

Love this cake decorating store! They have everything you could possibly need for any type of baking project. So happy I found them!

Every year my grandma and I make candies at Christmas. This had always been our go to spot for chocolates, molds, sugars, and flavors. The staff is always helpful and friendly. They also have a great selection of wrappers for candies and cupcakes for all occasions. The reason for my most recent visit was to take a cupcake decorating class with some girl friends. I learned some great decorating techniques and took home some adorable cupcakes! The things I learned are easy enough to do at home with basic decorating tools and any supplies I would need I could just pick up there. I would suggest these classes to anyone looking for basic decorating skills. read more

Blake's Decorette Shop - My first attempt at decorating cupcakes. - Candy Stores Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Helped me find the materials I needed to make a fun cake. They answered my questions and guided me to what I needed.

Blake's is my go to for cake supplies! Marci is my favorite! Always a smile and helpful advice. My daughter is the baker but she's 14 so I do the shopping for her. Marcie, you wanted to see what she baked...here's the last 4. read more

See all

Blake's Decorette Shop is THE place for all of your baking needs. Wide selection of molds, cookie cutters, and cake pans. The classes they offer are fun. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Love this place! read more

I have been going to Decorette Shop for over 20 years! I love the variety of inventory and the staff is always helpful!!! They have kept me in business and very very rarely do I leave there empty handed. They have the best selection of candy and chocolate molds and pan sizes and shapes available. Their prices are right on. I am a loyal customer and have taken many friends and family there to get hooked on cake decorating! read more

Blake's Decorette Shop has a wide variety of cake and cookie decorating supplies, (like cookie and candy molds, cake pans, every kind of edible glitter, paint, and frosting), as well as fancy Guittard chocolate bits to mold into shapes. They have a fun class on how to decorate holiday cookies (as well as other baking classes, too), which was $40/person, and included 12 already-made cookies with 3 hours of instruction. Blake's is a very mainstream kind of place. It's a lot like one you'd expect to find in the middle of a small midwestern town, but that's okay, as long as you know what to expect. Nonetheless, the service was friendly. Tip: The place is hard to find if you're not used to the area. You drive past the first area of stores, down the street, and it's behind another cluster of stores on the right. read more

This place is amazing! They have every pan, color, cookie cutter, candy, decoration and so much more!! While their prices might seem high to the average person, on many items they are significantly cheaper than JoAnn's - which is right around the corner. One downfall is typical items aren't ever on sale but the quality of items keeps me coming back! One plus side for all you parents out there - they have coordinated birthday themed baskets. Say your kiddo wants a Dora themed birthday. Decorette Shop has compiled all things Dora to make shopping easier. They have the cake toppers, candels, coordinationg food colorings, sprinkles, and so on all in one easy to find section! The really do have everything in every color imaginable!! read more

When I visit my sister in Portland, a trip to The Decorette Shop is definitely a priority for Miss Mira. A big plus is that there is no sales tax in Oregon so I stock up on my cupcake supplies. I purposely pack light from SJC - PDX because I know my suitcase will be stuffed on the return home to Cali. Mira's must haves: * Guittard Bittersweet Chocolate Sprinkles (bulk) * A rainbow of colored confectionery wafers (bulk) * Guittard Bittersweet Chocolate wafers (bulk) * Colored liners (bulk) * Nostalgic themed & insect chocolate molds * Pastel sanding sugars in the most ADORABLE little jars * Unique sugar decorations The sales gals are helpful and sweet. When you checkout, be sure to grab some of their free notepads and sticky calendars that are to the left of the register. Happy Baking! read more

If you need anything decorated, this is the place for everything you need. They have everything to many any treat yummy and beautiful. The classes are fun and you learn a lot of techniques. read more

I've never been treated worse by a business than when I went to this shop. While I had a short experience, I was treated so poorly during my first visit that I will never be back and would never recommend them to anyone. I'd been calling all over town earlier in the day to see if there was a local cake shop that carried a specific cake decorating item, and when Blake's said they had it in stock I was so excited to go right after work and purchase it. Their website said they close at 5:29pm, and since I work in NE Portland, I left work a little bit early to make sure I'd get there on time. I arrived at 5:25pm and one of the employees was already locking the front doors, visibly rolling her eyes as she saw me get out of my car. She unlocked the door for me and said, "we close in three minutes." I told her I knew exactly what I wanted and I even called earlier to make sure they had it in stock. When I told her what I needed, she scoffed and said, "that will take forever." At this point another employee went to the back to get the item. This process took about five minutes and I'm not sure why it took so long to grab one item as it wasn't particularly special. While she was back there, I looked around the store. Leaving this low-scoring review is such a shame to me because it was seriously the most well-stocked cake decorating shop I've ever been in, and I've been making cakes for several years and have been to many shops in Portland. I would have purchased some other items I saw in the shop while I was waiting for my item, but since I was already being treated so poorly I decided toWi only purchase what I came for. They could have had a sale that was triple what I came for if they would have treated me like I was a valuable customer - or even just like I mattered as a human being. After checking out, I headed to my car and got inside only to look up and catch the three employees behind the counter appearing to be laughing at me and mocking me. I will never be back and I will never recommend this shop to anyone, and I know a lot of people in the industry. What a shame. read more

This place is a cake maker's absolute dream. They have more cake/cupcake/cake pop/sucker-making supplies than anywhere I've ever seen. Does your kiddo want a [insert popular cartoon of the month/Disney Movie/anything kids seem to have ever liked in history here] themed-party? I can almost guarantee you that Decorette will have what you need. Shaped cake pans, flavorings, all different sized cake pans and display items, cake/cupcake transporting items, fondant, ready-to-use fruit fillings, cupcake toppers, cupcake wrappers, cookie cutters, cake toppers, candy making molds, chocolate pieces for the candy making.........need I say more? Bins and bins of themed supplies. The ladies who work here know their stuff. I wandered in with a co-worker with a very specific party theme for a child's birthday, and the staff helped her piece together every single thing she needed. That kiddo is going to be one happy birthday girl! And me? I walked out with some Mickey Mouse sprinkles/cookie cutters for stocking stuffers, and a bunch of Twilight-themed cupcake toppers for myself. Do I need these items?! No. But I couldn't help it! You would not ever imagine that such a cool shop was located in this dreary strip mall. And fab prices on the decor; a bit steep on the cupcake pans/display items, but it's worth it for the unique stuff. Check it out. read more

I did my very 1st wedding and I was very unsure about it...they talked to me and have me the confidence I needed to do this wedding with no stress! Amazing people there! read more

Blake's is a great place to go for cake decorating supplies. They have a great selection of cookie cutters. The staff is friendly and helpful. read more

This place has everything you could want for cake decorating! I really like being able to see the items I need in person, rather than ordering online and hoping it's what I need. It's a bit of a drive to get here, but it's worth the trip. read more

Twelve girls - ages 5 through 12 - sitting at tables for the most part of 2 hours decorating cakes made by the birthday girl's mom first spreading one thing then piping colored icing, then topping with rolled out and cut or hand modeled fondant. What a wonderfully entertaining and instructive time! read more

If I could I would give them NO star. This store would not exchange or refund unused cake forms and styrofoam base and wooden dowels. They were like this before COVID. They were not flexible and rather rude. read more

I absolutely loved this place! They have practically everything and the staff was very knowledgeable and kind! Everything is organized well, I sincerely appreciate that! If your looking for the edible glitters and pearl powder it's behind the counter. I will be back!! read more

One of my favorite places to visit! I don't wanna brag but I get a lot of requests for my cupcakes. I buy all the elements i need to make the perfect little cupcake from here! They have boxes to carry them in, the largest selection of wrappers and toppers I have ever seen plus they make there own ready to use buttercream. There are other Decorette shops in the area but I visit this one because they have great customer service and the best selection. I also love the candy molds! There prices are higher than what you will find in the grocery store baking isle (duh) but very reasonable for the product you are getting. They also offer cake decorating classes and lots of books to inspire your cake and candy creations! read more

I took a cookie decorating class from Bambi and it was hugely disappointing . The teaching 'style' was brusque and unhelpful. We paid $65.00 and decorated 6 cookies in three hours. The room was cramped and we had to share the supplies. This resulted in waiting for frosting nearly half the time. The class was a $25.00 value at most. I recommend not wasting your time or money. read more

The first time I came in I was not so happy with the person attending me she was not nice at all, this second time a different women attended me and she was great!! Much better thank you ! read more

Blake's is the best for any pastry baking, decorations, etc. needs. Found this place because my Grandma is a big fan and have come in several times since when making cupcakes, cakes, etc. such a great hidden gem! read more

This place has a lot, love the premade frosting and supplies. Staff is great and friendly.

My grandmother used to rave about this place. Years ago she bought me a gift certificate for my birthday and I've been loving Decorette ever since! I always buy my americolor gel here... and almost always buy something else that catches my eye at the same time. They have a wonderful selection of disco dust that they always seem more than happy to bring out. Also, every employee has always been nice! No matter what mood I'm in before I walk in the door, I always leave with a huge grin on my face. read more

The Decorette Shop is a modest place which I completely love. Being allergic to wheat, dairy and not too great with any grains, I make all the birthday and other cakes for our family using almond flour. For the decorations, I use cool little items I buy at the Decorette Shop. LIttle lady bugs, people, animals, palm trees, you name it. Poking around in the decoration bins is really fun. For a few dollars, you can have the cutest cake around. They also have cake pans in cool shapes. Love you, Decorette Shop! read more

The wonderful world of cake decorating! If you can dream it, you will find it here and can bake it! They have just about anything here! Even if you don't have an idea, strolling in this store will surely set fire to your imagination and inspiration! They have everything from cake/cupcake toppers to a variety of candles, sprinkles, cake pans, cake holders, icing, and baking tools. The prices are super reasonable! I especially like going to this store when I have a specific themed birthday cake in mind! Did someone say under the sea cupcakes? read more

Love this place. The staff is usually always friendly and they usually have what I'm looking for for my sweet treats I make. Prices very reasonable and they are pretty knowledgeable about what I may need for my cakes or goodies! Returning customer for life here. read more

This is s neat store. It is well organized and clean. You could find what you need for a child or adults project here. I think they might even have decorating classes. I bought some sugar flowers to decorate my birthday cupcakes and I'm pretty excited to make them with my family! I will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in to Decorette shop this morning at 10:05 no one at register. So checked out every isle on 1st floor, went to second floor checked every isle and heard voices in back. Stood on steps to third floor in hopes I could ask questions. Maybe 2 employees in office ,didn't hear third voice . clerk comes to door of office still talking non stop, comes out ,maybe 8 ft from me ,says to whoever ,well I'll leave you now and let you work, steps out door glances at item to left of door then goes back in and discusses an order .I'm right there! not invisible.. waiting to get a word in edgewise... I gave up.. after spending 13 min. in store where the back room is more important than clients in the front, you don't need my money..Left at 10:18 read more

Made my first trip to Blake's today. Pretty nice selection, not nice service. After telling me they didn't have the thing that I came for, I decided to keep browsing for a minute. As I searched another employee came out from the back, saw me clearly hunting for something, and instead of offering to help, she walked right by me as if I weren't there. Then I actually found what I had come for myself. I was really excited to start giving my business to Blake's from what I'd seen online. I was thinking of taking a class there, but now I don't see any reason to come back. read more
