This business specialisies in all things baking and has a huge selection on offer. It's easier to browse than either Kitchen Complements or Stock, its south of the Liffey competitors, due to the large floor space.
Staff were very friendly and helpful and I was talked through the basics of the business, which are that it's Irish-owned, has several stores throughout the land, and makes all of its own extensive range of icings.
I can vouch that the ready to roll one is really easy to use and goes on beautifully - my only issue is that I was advised to get two and a half times the quantity I needed, having asked for enough for a medium Christmas cake. So I have a rather large surplus of sweet white stuff and foresee a year of much cookie and cake decorating for the kids - up to the point I get tired of it and chuck it out no doubt.
A word to the wise - the prices here are looking very good indeed, compared to Stock which is on the expensive side. I bought the exact same cookie presentation box here that I bought in Stock a day previously, it was 2.50 in Stock, and 1.85 here.
The assistant I spoke to advised that keen pricing is part of the company ethos - and given how expensive confectionery goods can be, you can't argue with that.
She also told me they are moving to a bigger premises further along the north quay in the new year - perhaps nearer the Italian Quarter.
I'll definitely be making this by first stop for baking stuff in the future. read more
