If you plan on teaching an adult ed class in decorating cakes and or plan to open a specialty baker you will need the right tools. If you buy in bulk you can save a good bit of money.
You can allow your students to purchase their decorating bags and tips from you at your wholesale cost or at t few cents extra to cover shipping.
Shop around on line. Look for quality first and then the cost. My instructor gave each of us two bags and two tips. She charged us only if we lost a bag or tip.
When shopping for icing bag tips consider buying them in a set. It is cheaper in the long run and you always have the right tool for the job. If you are making a large cake and the only tips you have are very tiny it will be almost impossible to decorate your cake appropriately.
Be sure to take into consideration the tax, shipping and handling when computing the cost for your students and have that information available for them so nobody can accuse you of overcharging. If your class is going to be a single meeting, suggest that they buy the tips and tubes of icing at the local supermarket but have an address where they can get reusable tips at an affordable cost.
Most party supply stores sell some of the most popular tip designs. However if they don’t have what you need look on line. You can find dozens of retailers and several wholesalers.
Wholesalers sell at very low prices, however generally to get good discounts you need to buy in bulk. Do you really need 25 small star tips? If you are teaching a course with more then 8 or 10 students, wholesale may be the only way to go.

Cheap cake supplies are important to everyone but if you are running a business or selling cakes then the importance increases.
Cake boxes are a necessity it is not an option to deliver a battered cake when someone is paying for a product.
Buying cake boxes wholesale makes economic sense.
There are many types of cake boxes some are designed to make a cake safe whilst others are novelty boxes or favor boxes which are more personalized. Also if you are making many types of cakes a supplier that is prepared.
To combine cake boxes in one delivery may be cheaper. Check online prices, but also check with local bakers who will almost certainly have a local supplier. It does depend on the baker and the areas where you live some are happy to add cake boxes to their order and some are not. However it is also worth checking a local library and chamber of commerce to check local numbers.
Baking supply now offers such a huge choice it is difficult to evaluate what gives the best value. Not all the criteria’s for making the decision are constant, sometimes you want to save money whilst at other times you merely want to save time. Making some types of icings and frostings are either time consuming, or expensive or both.
However before you search online investigates local possibilities and start with your nearest specialty baker. The chances are he has already done his homework whether it is fondant icing or cake boxes you are looking for.
Some candy supplies are of course perishable and before you commit yourself to bulk buys consider the best by date. Any cheap cake supply is only cheap if you can utilize the majority if not all of what you buy. When purchasing baking supply consider whether seasonal fluctuations may make a difference to price.
