If you need baking supplies, this is the place to go. Relatively small shop crammed full of pretty much all the essential needs for decorating sugary treats! The customer service could not be better. The woman who runs the place is extremely helpful and willing to offer free advice and doesn't try to sell you things you don't really need.
She made me feel less intimated by materials I haven't worked with and helped inspire courage. Really above and beyond. My specialty is cookie decorating and I was so excited to stock up on all the supplies and colors I needed at great prices! This is a mecca for cake decoration/baking supplies in Seattle.

About Us
Report
The Home Cake Decorating Supply Co. has been a popular fixture in North Seattle since it opened in 1962. Two sisters, Thelma Sowards and Irene Amundsen, opened the store after being frustrated by their inability to find the supplies they needed for their love of cake decorating.
Thelma, who had studied cake decorating in Portland and had to make the 3-hour journey to Oregon to purchase her favorite supplies there, encouraged Irene to join her in opening a business offering classes and supplies here in Seattle.

Baking Substitutes
Report
You need a 1/2 cup of buttermilk but all you have is 2% low-fat milk and you don't feel like traveling to the store just to get a container of buttermilk that is way more than you need anyways. So what can you do? Substitute 1 cup milk plus 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice (I prefer lemon juice); and let the mixture sit for about 5 to 10 minutes to curdle.
