 Topic: Lolly shop in Auckland?
Posted: 23 July 2008 at 8:38pm |
|
I need to find some specific lollies for decorating Alex's birthday cake but I couldn't find half the ones I needed at my supermarket.
Does anyone know of any specialty lolly shops in Auckland, and preferably on or near the north shore?

- Giant smarties
- Gob stoppers

is there still the chocolate shop in Takapuna- I think they were on Hurstmere Rd? they might have some different lollies? there is also the lolly stands that you see in the middle of shopping malls, but don't know if they have anything different than supermarkets (might be worth a try through?).

How much time have you got?
There is an awesome selection of lollies available at Remarkable Sweet Shop
Orrrrr in Takapuna, there is a great little boutique sweet shop on Hurstmere Road just up near the corner where Wendy's used to be.
Good luck!

Mikaela, I have some long red licorice straps if you need them - and I live on the Shore, the only condition is that you'd probably have to pick them up eh?

I reckon about three?
I'm making the express train cake in the Womens Weekly birthday cake book. Well, I'm attempting too - could be disastrous!

Mikaela - if you don't have any luck at the lolly shop, just flick me a PM and I can give you my cell number - I should be at home most of Friday daytime.

Try the 'Chocolate Boutique' in Birkenhead. I bought all the stuff there for Sam's birthday cake and they have a massive selection of lollies and cake decorating stuff. It is on the main rd not far down from the mall entrance on the same side.
