We all love that feeling of walking into a toasty house filled with the scent of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, having that vanilla waft through your olfactory senses, feeling your mouth starting to salivate, searching everywhere for those speckled golden morsels. There is nothing quite as comforting as home baking, so we have found the best baking supply stores to get your home smelling like a mouth watering bakery.
The Bakers Warehouse
The Bakers Warehouse isn’t just a store, it is a sanctuary for baking enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner home baker, you will find everything you need to unleash your creativity in the kitchen.
From essential tools like pans, spatulas and sprinkles to specialty items like fondant toppers, the finest high-quality chocolate and pastry moulds, The Bakers Warehouse has it all. Also, if you’re looking to brush up on your baking skills, they offer baking classes for all skill levels.
The Chocolate Den
As the name suggests, The Chocolate Den specialises in chocolate. Not only do they have all the chocolate you could ever dream of, from classic Belgium to zesty bright purple chocolate, but they also supply molds in every shape and size imaginable. If you aren’t quite sure how to use these, don’t worry. The Chocolate Den also offers many courses in chocolate art, from making a simply decorated chocolate gingerbread man to making your own luxury truffles. They also have a very extensive range of other baking items, especially decorations like sprinkles and fondant figurines. This is definitely a shop anyone who considers themselves a baker should visit.
The Bakers Bin
This is the ultimate store for big baking projects or just general baking supplies. They have the essential baking items like flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, all types of sugar, butter and eggs. They also have utensils like measuring bowls, spatulas and baking tins in every shape and size.
For specialist bakers, there’s a huge range of piping tips, food colouring, extracts, cake stands and containers for transporting your creations. For those of you that would rather eat your cake than bake it, they supply many pre-mixes of cake and other desserts like milk tart and cheesecake, as well as icing mixes that just needs water. And to clean up the mess, don’t forget to stock up on a few cleaning products here too.
Home Baking Supplies
This store, hiding in Roodepoort, will supply the novice or expert baker with all their baking requirements with everything from the best quality cocoa powder to decorating tools ideal for each and every type of application. What makes this place extra special is that they hire out baking pans which can come in handy when you need to bake a cake for 50 people but don’t want to buy a tin you’ll only use once. They also offer a printing service, where they will print any design of your choice onto a sheet of fondant using edible food colouring instead of ink.
Jodees Baking and Packaging Supplies
Baking can be an expensive hobby. Flour and sugar might remain affordable, but cocoa powder, dried fruit, nuts, chocolate and flavourings can put a dent in your pocket. Lets not forget to mention the pans, baking paper, piping bags, mixers and so forth. Fortunately, Jodees supplies the most affordable products and even supply other baking stores.
