Baking Supplies:
(Of course, Sur La Table and Williams-Sonoma are top hits on my GPS.)

- Layer Cake Shop...one of the two cutest online baking shops around!
- King Arthur Flour
- Bake It Pretty...the other of the two cutest baking shops around. Wait until you see the mustache cookie cutter I ordered from them!
- Sugar Craft (They basically have everything you need, although their site navigation is not my favorite. I've ordered lots of sanding sugar here.)
- Make-a-Cake (local)

Boxes & Shipping Supplies:
- Half Price Boxes of Houston (local)...several locations, the nicest owners!
- this & that (etsy)
- Moo
- HEB (in my humble opinion, the BEST chain in the area)
- Hubbell & Hudson (awesome gourmet market in my neck of the woods)
- Central Market
Non-baking
Gifts:
- etsy (there is something neat about buying handmade and you can find something for everyone here!) Some of my favorites: Strawberry Luna, Made by Girl, My Lavaliere, and Saintly Silver.

- Lucky Horseshoe Photography (local)...I may be a little biased when I say I love this photographer and she takes amazing photos of kids; she is my sister. But take a look at these pics of our son...they are my favorites, ever!

(Cook)Books & Music:
- the library (I'm a big believer in "test-driving" cookbooks.)
- Amazon (Great prices, free shipping over $25. What's not to love?)
Great info! Love most of the ones you posted, but new ones as well. I will have to check them out. I have to agree.. when we lived in TX...we LOVED HEB!! Adorable pic of your little man!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this - I am taking a look at those links now :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous list, Bridgett!
ReplyDeleteI love your post!
ReplyDeleteCrazy question for you -- do you have a "breakfast-y" kind of cookie recipe you might share?
It has to be easy and something I can do the first time :-)
No cake decorating things on hand so that has to be simple.
I'm not asking much, am I?
I am Inn-Sitting and it JUST dawned on me that you might have a great idea!
If you go to my Best Nest blog you can check out where I am til next week.

ReplyDeleteGreat list! Thanks for sharing your sources. I'm printing the list for my bulletin board.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get your vanilla bean paste? I can't find it in my regular grocery stores. Do you recommend a particular brand?

Heather...you can find it at Williams-Sonoma or Sur La Table. I think King Arthur sells it as well. It's probably on Amazon, too. :) I use Nielsen-Massey...it's the only one I've tried or even seen in a store.
ReplyDeleteSoutenus...Hey! I AM going to check out your blog to see what you are! I don't have a breakfast-y cookies, but that's a good idea. We tend to think of EVERY cookie as a breakfast cookie around here. ;)
LOVE the pic of your son with his eyes closed! :-) It put a huge smile on my face! Yes, your sis IS an amazing photographer!
ReplyDeleteok, i will be a proud parent, Bridget your blog is wonderful, and Molly the photos you take are great, from one very proud father.
ReplyDeletelove dad
Oh, Dad...you're making me cry. :)

Thanks for the info :)
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and LOVIN' it. I started cake decorating 14 yrs ago and have basically been on sabbatical for last 6 or so. We moved four years ago and even though I would love to get back into decorating there are NO places around here that sell supplies. Thanks for the links! Also, going to participate in your Flavor of the Month roundup!! Wish I had found it earlier.
