Just a heads up! If any of you have a Big Lots store near you, they are putting out their spring/summer stock and yesterday when I was there I found the best straws for providing support that I have found anywhere. They were inexpensive too - under $2 (I think like a $1.82 or something like that) for 50, and they are really sturdy. Such a better quality than I have been buying. If you are near the store in Round lake Il, don't bother going there....I kinda bought them ALL. :-) Happy stacking!!

Sounds cool.
I discovered a store that has sold paper products for about 100 years, mean that seriously, that is now selling decorating supplies. Went in with a friend for something, & was surprised to see all the stuff. They had boxes of bubble straws for stacking cakes, like $2 for 50. And reusable silicone piping bags, 20 for $5. Soooo much cheaper than Michael's or driving into Toronto to get this stuff! ! Don't you just love it when you find a bargoon!!!!! :o)
Hmm I have a Big Lots about 25 minutes away. I think I will go for a ride this week. Tx for the heads up
Yep...love it! These are the bubble straws - well worth the trip! Happy shopping!!
I use bubble straws as dowels for I couldn't find dowels in our place. It's cheap and good for supporting tiered cakes.
I have used the straws for a 2 tier cake but am always too afraid to use them for heavier cakes. That is a great price though!
Where is this? I need to know.

This store isn't in Ontario, or in Canada Hope. Only in USA. Believe there is one in the Buffalo/Niagra Falls NY area. :o)
Okay took a little ride and got the last package of straws. Also found there Nielsen-Massey pure vanilla extract
Ooooo will have to keep my eyes open for the vanilla...thanks! Bummer on only one package of straws.....
Yes June I always want to find a bargain specially cake decorating tools. I found a second hand shop selling brand new stainless steel cookie cutters just for 20 pesos (about 50 cents? ). I bought the bunny and flower cutters.

I happened on these last year at Big Lots and they work great! Plus, they're huge so I feel like they give good support. Heading to Big Lots to see if they have theirs in!
Just found out literally 2 days ago that a Big Lots is opening just down the street from where I live. Not sure if it will carry the same merchndise as in USA. Will have to wait & see.
