My sister and I would always get into the entrepreneurial mood during random nights. Whenever we would have some recipe ideas to add to our arsenal of brownies, cookies and baked goodies ,and we would bake up a storm in the kitchen, one place that has everything we need is Chocolate Lover, Inc. The baking supply store looks like a castle made out of chocolate from the outside, and stepping into their selling floor feels like being handed a Golden Ticket to Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
Here, you will find practically everything, from local baking ingredients, to foreign premium baking supplies. Everything can be bought per piece or even in small packets, or you can also snap up supplies wholesale if you want to save a bit of money by buying in bulk. You will find the solutions to all of your baking needs, from cupcake liners to molds, aluminum bakeware to decorating supplies and even wrapping and packaging solutions of all types, styles and sizes. Anything related to confection, desserts, and sweets, you will find here.
What I love from this store are the gumpaste and fondant cake decors. I suck at making them from scratch and they are prettier and more lovely when left to the experts anyway. I also love buying the real Madagascar vanilla bean pods that I use to flavor my custards and my jar of sugar. Something to look forward to every visit are the sampling booths that hand out small bits of cake, cheese or chocolate. This is how I discovered my favorite local brand of cream cheese.
There is always a huge crowd, and it might be better to call ahead to order and have your needs boxed up and ready for pick up since most of the essentials tend to run out quickly. read more
