Cake Decoration Kit Types and Styles

Choosing the correct cake decorations supplies for your business needs

Consider buying a party cake decoration kit if you own a bakery or you just want to supply your employees with celebratory cakes you've decorated yourself. These kits make doing fancy decorating a lot easier and will have the special requests rolling in in no time.

Once you start looking for cake decor supplies, you will notice just how many cake decorating kits are available. It's easier to sort through them and determine the ones you want if you divide them into these three general cake decoration kit types and styles:

1. Children's cake decoration kits that contain some of their favorite characters;

2. Wedding cake decoration kits you can use to help people celebrate this milestone event;

3. General cake decorating kits that are good for almost any cake-requiring occasion.

 

Look at cake decor supplies for children's character cakes

There are few people that get more excited about cakes than children, which makes kids' cake kits a good investment. Kits that feature cartoon characters are very popular and are sure to get rave reviews and repeat orders.
Try: PastryWiz sells lots of character cake kits, including ones that feature Garfield, Bratz and Curious George. Party World has Thomas the Tank Engine, Pooh, the Little Mermaid and several more. Each kit is made to work with a standard round or sheet cake.

Consider professional cake decorating kits for wedding cakes

If you want to increase your profit margin, buy cake decoration kits for wedding cakes. These cakes often sell for hundreds of dollars and can help build a bakery business' reputation. Since wedding cakes are traditionally layer cakes, these kits come with pillars and stands for the tiers to help you easily make a classy cake.
Try: Look at Pfeil & Holing's wedding cake kits, which feature everything you need from tiers to toppers to make for an excellent cake presentation. Also look at A Birthday Place's wedding cake decorating kit, which comes with all of the above plus decorating cards, which help you determine how to ice your cake to suit the accessories.

Check out more general kits for cake decorating

General kits are your best bet if you want cake decor supplies just for the occasional cake to serve at an office function, or you would like tools you can use on most any confection you'd like to sell. These kits don't contain any specific decorations. Instead, they have frosting tips and other supplies to help you create your own design.
Try: Look at AsSeenOnTV's Betty Crocker cake decorating kit. It has 100 pieces, including tips, icing bags and stencils and comes in a plastic box to keep everything together. Once you've mastered the basic kit, you can try Kitchen Krafts' deluxe kit, which includes icing dyes, a cake spatula and fancy metal tips. You can use either of these kits in conjunction with the kids' cake or wedding kits to make your own letters, leaves and flowers.
