Go by the checklist before buying cake decorations

Now when the Holy Easter is just a week away, we are sure you will spend this weekend running a lot of errands and rushing to the stores for everything that you will require for the next weekend.

Of course you will buy a range of cake decorations since all the glittering delicacies spread on the table is one of the chief attractions of the occasion, specially for the children. 

Before you step out for shopping or shop online, please go by the checklist below--

• Do look for the products that are safe for health. By that we mean there should not be any kind of artificial colour or flavour.

• All the cake decorations and any other confectionery product that you buy should be free of hydrogenated fats since these are extremely harmful for health and can trigger cardio-vascular diseases, even cancer.

• Buy exactly the quantity you require. There are sellers who offer all sort of decorations in sachets, pots, tubs and cartons. Select the shop or the website where you can have that flexibility. There is no point in buying more than you need. Money is always hard-earned.

• Do buy ready-to-use icing tubes and frosting tubes since that will save a lot of time. Reputed suppliers always keep them in a range of colours and also in twin-colour options. 

• Do not simply jump on every lucrative product that catches your attention. Make a plan first. Decide the menu, the recipe, the ingredients and the decorations. Then do the shopping. 

• Make sure to include in your coterie at least one writing icing tube, one frosting, one pack of jelly beans, at least one kind of glitter sand, an assorted pack of sprinkle shapes and at least one kind of chocolate sprinkles if you have a strict budget issue.
