Is ABC Cake Decorating Supplies still a family-owned store?

Yes. ABC Cake Decorating Supplies has been family-owned and locally operated since it opened in Phoenix in 1965. The store has never been franchised or acquired by a larger retail chain. That independence means every decision -- from the products stocked to the staff hired -- reflects a direct commitment to the Phoenix home baking community.

How long has ABC Cake Decorating Supplies been in Phoenix?

The store has operated continuously from its location on East Indian School Road in Phoenix since 1965 -- over 60 years. It is one of the longest-established specialty baking supply retailers in the Phoenix metro area and has served multiple generations of home bakers and hobbyists across the Greater Valley.

What makes ABC Cake Decorating Supplies different from an online retailer?

The difference is staff knowledge and same-day access. When you visit the store, a trained staff member helps you find the right product for your specific project -- no waiting for delivery, no guessing from a product image. For decorating projects where getting the right fondant, color, or topper matters, that in-person guidance changes the result.

Does ABC Cake Decorating Supplies have trained staff on site?

Yes. Staff at ABC Cake Decorating Supplies are trained across the full product range, from fondants and food colors to custom cake toppers and 3D printing. The store is also an affiliated member of the Retail Bakers Association, which reflects a professional standard of product knowledge and service that general craft retailers typically don't maintain.

Can I visit the store without calling ahead?

Yes. ABC Cake Decorating Supplies is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at 2853 E Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85016. Walk-ins are welcome. Calling ahead at 602-224-9796 is useful if you need a specific product confirmed before making the trip.

Family-Owned Cake Supply Shop | Phoenix, AZ

Over the years, the product range has grown in step with what Phoenix home bakers actually need. As fondant work became more common, we stocked deeper. When edible photo toppers arrived as a practical option for personalised cakes, we added them. More recently, custom 3D-printed cake toppers and cookie cutters became part of what we offer -- because that's where the craft went. Through all of it, the store stayed family-owned and locally operated. No franchise arrangement, no pivot to online-only. Just the same store, answering to the same community.

Ordering online means guessing. Coming in means having a conversation. Staff at ABC Cake Decorating Supplies are trained across the full product range—fondants, food colors, candy-making supplies, edible photo toppers, custom 3D printing, and the dozens of small accessories that make or break a decorating project. When a customer walks in unsure which fondant handles Phoenix's summer heat, or which piping tip matches the look they're after, a real conversation with a trained staff member gets to the right answer faster than any product page. That guidance prevents wasted batches and failed projects—which is a practical reason to shop in person, not just a nice one.

For 60 years, bakers from across the Valley, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Glendale, Chandler, Paradise Valley, Peoria, Gilbert, Avondale, Goodyear, and beyond -- have made the trip to East Indian School Rd because we carry what local grocery stores and big-box retailers don't. That's not a marketing claim; it's just what we hear from customers who've been making the drive for years. We stock specialty supplies that aren't available at general craft retailers, and we keep them in stock reliably, so our customers know what to expect when they come in.

The projects Phoenix home bakers bring to us reflect the full range of life in the Valley, quinceaneras, wedding tiers, birthday cakes, holiday cookie sets, graduation cakes, baby shower spreads. That diversity of occasions is exactly why our product range has grown the way it has: edible photo toppers for personalised celebrations, custom 3D-printed toppers for designs that don't exist off the shelf, and the same reliable fondants and food colors that have been in stock for decades. What people are making tells us what to carry.
