I live in Niagara Falls, and we have a store called Party Connection where I rent pans. You can also rent them at the Bulk Barn, but they don't rent the ones sold in sets (the square pans of different sizes).

Thanks Teri,
I keep forgetting about Bulk Barn...I will try there...I don't need a set now just a large square or even rectangular one!

If you make cakes on a regular basis, it is better to purchase your own pans and it is more cost-effective than renting in a long run. Just think how many times you rent for pans .... especially the square ones come in handy for all sorts of things. If you don't have a specialty pan (Dora the Explorer, Elmo, Transformers, etc, etc.), you can always get a picture online and print it out to draw using piping gel or chocolate icing. I usually do it that way!!

Hi I'm from Alberta.

The same regulations apply here, for opening a cake decorating business. The regulations are way more slack, if you were planning on opening a Bed & Breakfast. Just go figure.

I have a 3-bowl sink already, but it may not be deep enough for their liking. Whatever...I'm going to fly under the radar.

About the pans...google michaels + crafts + coupons. You can print coupons for 40% off, 1 regular priced item. Sometimes when you buy things there, you will get an attached coupon, with your reciept. I live 45 minutes from our closest Michaels, so I print a coupon at home, before I go. That is when I buy the higher ticketed items.

Also how far are you from the states? Wal-Mart down there has a decorating section, that is better than the one up here. They have pan sets too. Their flexible decorating bags were $3.00 each & Michaels were $4.99. The large & XL bags down there, were a bunch cheaper.

You're ahead of the deal, with the money around par. I spent a month in Arizona with my brother & even got in on Black Friday. I came home with 25 tips, 10 - 10" bags, 5 - 8" bags, 2 - 12" bags, 1 - 16" bag, 1 - 18" bag & a paisley pan set. I had so much metal in my checked bags, I thought they would open them for sure. 

Then we went to Kalispell, MT for the weekend, just before christmas. I got a heart pan set & some other goodies. I have had way too much fun lately.

You just have to keep your eyes open for deals & cool stuff.

The Bullk Barn is in the same city as Michaels, but I haven't rented any pans.

Golda's Kitchen is in Mississauga but I order online from there all the time.  There prices (even with shipping) are reasonable and I agree that having the standard round/square pans are handy.  I also have a set of hearts which I use regularly as is or to carve.  I prefer the Big Daddio pans for quality and feel that this has been a great investment.  I buy a pan here and there when I need it and am getting a standard set.  The have a full line of supplies as well.
