Dowelling a cake seems complicated but with the right tools, you'll be stacking cakes in no time!

These poly dowels are easy to cute with ordinary kitchen scissors and the key to stacking is making sure your dowels are all exactly the same height. We recommend measuring one dowel in your cake and using that measurement to cut all the dowels to the same height.

NEW Colour Mill Drips - in stock now! 8 colours available, more to be added soon...

Thank you to the lovely Danielle's Sweet Treats for tagging us in this drip cake made using the NEW Colour Mill Drips which we have just arrived into stock!

Danielle had this to say about her caked creation "[I used] Sweet Success Sugarcraft own brand sugarpaste & sprinkles. They also supplied the NEW Colour Mill chocolate drippy (Baby Pink) which I LOVED"

We'd advise warming the drip in a cup of boiling water as it melts VERY QUICKLY but otherwise it can be used the same way as your usual drips! Shop the range here https://www.sweetsuccess.uk.com/colourmilldrip

As many of our customers will be aware, in the past 18mths we have seen unprecedented rises in the price of cocoa products (chocolate, cocoa butter, cocoa powder etc). We learned yesterday that the price of cocoa butter has risen by over 70%, meaning all of our cocoa butter containing products will see price increases effective immediately.

To give people some background as to why the prices are increasing; it's because cocoa butter is not currently meeting the demands of the market. Crops are suffering damage every year, due to climate issues, and cocoa prices rose 60% in 2023 and now a further 88% in 2024, so far.

Some of our products will now see price increases to reflect this and our hope is that if prices come down again later this year, we will amend the retail price ASAP. Despite the price rise, we haven't increased our profit margins.

As we are one of the few manufacturers of products that sell directly to the public, these price rises will seem more immediate but keep in mind that we are always working hard to bring you the most premium products at the best prices.

Thank you to all of our loyal customers for your support, we literally woudn't be here with you!

With the weather FINALLY warming up, it's time to think about using Ganache as your crumb coat to avoid the stress of working on soft cakes during the Summer months!

Our Ganache sets firm so extra tall cakes won't bulge or slide with a Ganache coating and it's much easier to cover a cake with a firm set crumb coat.

Customers all over the country now rely on our fruit cakes, sponge cake bases and icings, whether decorating cakes as a hobby or a business.
