Baking HEAVEN

When we were at Kappabashidori, the lovely Marina directed us to the Baking supplies store, and we were like kids in a candy store.  We actually were very restrained (and might go back for more tomorrow).  Here are some selected photos of this store (it was on the first floor above the Toyo store, and is a baking supplies specialist). Nikki even got some supplies for Hannah and Connor's wedding cake.

 Baking rounds of every size


 A pastry cutter (just like granny used to have)


 There were three rows of flan tins (they must be very big in Japan right now)


 Bread baking tins of all sizes


There were so many silicone moulds they had to use a stick to lift them down for customers


Bread prooving baskets - I'm kicking myself now for not buying one of these


 Cake tins of all shapes and sizes


 Bread tins for baking bread in odd shapes


 Jelly and cake moulds


Bundt tins


There are hundreds of shops on Kappabashidori, all specialising in something


 Massive stock pots - I need a new stock pot, but don't think this would fit in my luggage, and I'd have no where to store it at home


 Balconies in the shape of tea cups



There are even ceramics specialty stores - H would have been in heaven too.


You know you are at the beginning of Kappabashidori when you see this guy greeting you


Here is our haul - a new cake cooling rack, piping bags & tips, silicone moulds, pastry cutters, aprons, electronic scales (from3kg to 0.1g), knives and bonito shaver.

We finished off the day going to the green grocer in our building, to take a photo of the $9 turnip
