1678.0. "Cake decorator bag" by BOSHOG::ZAMORA () Mon Mar 20 1989 13:01

     
    	Can anyone please tell me where I can find a cake decorator bag?
    I went yesterday to several stores but did not find it. 
    
    Any suggestions?  I live in the Worcester area.
    
    Thanks in advance,

Angela,
	Try Westerman's on Green St. 753-1111.  This is a restaurant supply
house.  Their prices tend to be a bit lower than the Gourmet stores and
their supply of basic utensils is much better.

    There is a kitchen shop in the Auburn Mall, they would probably
    have them.  Also try Paper World, a party supply place in Worcester.
    I get mine at the Gourmet Stop in Sturbridge, they have just started
    stocking a complete line of cake decorating supplies.
1678.3rice paper or cloth?WMOIS::L_WATERMANMon Mar 20 1989 15:409
    
    
    	Long ago when I took classes for cake decorating, we used
    rice paper in place of the cloth bags.  And for a beginner the
    paper worked out fine.  In Fitchburg there is a shop named
    Cecile's Cake Decorating and Cake Supply, 614 North Main Street
    (oops) in Leominster.

1678.4parchment?CIMNET::GLADDINGNoters do it with a 8-)Mon Mar 20 1989 16:1611
    re: .3
    
    Are you sure you don't mean parchment paper instead of rice
    paper?  Isn't rice paper kind of flimsy - wouldn't it break
    under pressure?
    
    I use parchment that has been cut into triangles - makes it
    very easy at cleanup time.  No bags to wash - just throw them
    out.  You can buy them in any cake decorating store.

	Another place to try is 'Carousel Party Goods'
	at 112 Grove Street  (ph 756-2465).

	My wife does some cake decorating, and has had
	good luck here with all her needs..  

	They carry the bags, tips, and most other needs.


1678.6DONT KNOW THE NAME,BUT...GIAMEM::SMALLTue Mar 21 1989 12:0710
         
    
    	I DONT KNOW THE NAME OF THE PLACE, BUT IF YOU COME HOME ON RT
    20 WEST - GET OFF ON THE GRAFTON EXIT (RT 122) AND TAKE A RIGHT
    - ABOUT A 1/2 A MILE ON THE RIGHT, PAST RANDS AUTO - THERE IS A
    BARN TYPE STORE SET BACK OFF THE ROAD - IN THAT STORE - BOTTOM 
    FLOOR - THEY HAVE EVERYTHING NEEDED FOR CAKE DECORATING.
    
    GOOD LUCK
    
1678.8CECV03::HACHEPour Some Sugar On MeTue Mar 21 1989 15:345
    When I'm in a bind, or if I only need a tiny bag (such as for chocolate
    piping, etc) I make one out of paper, either cooking parchment or
    waxed paper.

1678.9Super Mario PanTLE::EIKENBERRYDon&#039;t confuse activity with productivityTue Feb 12 1991 12:5121
  This past weekend, I made a Super Mario Brothers cake for my 10-year-old
cousin's birthday.  It's a Wilton cake pan, with Mario (in a POW position,
according to my cousins) on the front.  I had a blast making it, and the
end result was great!

  I doubt that I'll ever have occasion to make Mario again, so if anyone 
from COOKS would like to borrow the pan, just let me know!  Great for 
Nintendo junkies!  You would need several tips 3 and tips 16, as well as
blue, red, yellow, and brown colorings, and 5 or 6 bags.  [optionally,
copper color, too - I used it for the flesh, but you can also use a little
brown]

  The red coloring is nasty stuff!  ALL of my bags are now tinted pink from
the washing process!  It was also amusing at the party when we realized that
everyone who had eaten a piece of cake with red icing had a VERY pink 
tongue, lips, and teeth!
