My hubby was at home this morning and took me to this one really fantastic shop in Kepong called PastryPro. It’s like a dream come true shop for bakers, all sorts of cake decorating gadgets, ingredients and brands are available. Most are imported items, which explains why the price is quite high. Nevertheless, I splurged on some Wilton products. Icing colours for my buttercream :

It says here on the box :”Start with enough icing to cover the entire area, as matching shades later may be difficult. Dip a toothpick into the colour, then swirl it into white icing. Add colour a little at a time until you achieve the shade you desire. Always use a new toothpick each time you add colour to keep icing out of your jar of color. Blend icing well with a spatula”. Hmm.. now I have to go buy toothpick pulak. More hints printed on the box :”Royal icing requires more colour than buttercream icing to achieve the same shade….”

Below are icing colour, but in the form of concentrated paste/ gel. I’m planning to use this to colour my flower sugar paste. I wanted to make small flowers/ deco to put on cupcakes.

This are priced at RM8.90 each, so I bought only two coz I wanted to check out another shop selling Wilton’s product, to compare the prices.

Another item I bought today is this :

To cut out fondant alphabet and numbers, RM53.50. Made in China but so expensive ! I also got a fondant smoother and brush.. well, you can check out Wilton‘s website to see all their products.

I’m really looking forward to start my cupcakes flower project, just need to buy the ingredients to make the flower sugarpaste. Hopefully it will take off soon.
