| - ABC is really the only place in Phoenix of its kind, other than going to Michael's or Joann's for cake supplies which can get pricey. They do not always have what I am looking for but they have a wide selection of many cake baking and decorating items. If you are thinking of making a themed cake, you can really customize it here because they sell individual decor items here (glass slippers, balloons, figurines, cartoon characters, etc., you get the picture). They even sell fondant and edible cake jewels, pearls, glitter, etc.
The tips are in the glass case and they also sell gorgeous sugar flowers if you don't know how or are too lazy to make it yourself. Come here for the cheap cake boxes and cake cardboard rounds. One of my favorite cakes made with some edible paint from this store was the NIN cake (which you can google if you like, I have pearls around mine).
The cons:
*Close too early :(
*Small store that easily gets very crowded, so you may be overwhelmed by Thelma and Louise looking for a spatula.
*Most of the workers are snobby. With the exception of one older woman, I have never received friendly service from anyone else in the many years I have been coming here. I remember coming here when I was a young teen and it has always been the same. Luckily I just devised a get in and get out routine, I already know what I need and where it is. They have what I need and I am willing to put up with it because it beats ordering online, or paying high prices for a small selection elsewhere. As someone else mentioned perhaps they are selectively friendly?
