Cake decorating
Baked to decorate
You don’t have to be a Masterchef to make fun and frivolous
cake treats for your next party. Make it, fake it or just
decorate it is our philosophy. Adventurous bakers can choose
from our range of high quality tins, trays and fondants, while
cupcake lovers can choose from all kinds of sprinkles and
decorations. The time poor can choose themed wraps or
easy to use edible images and everyone can use the display
stands, candles, ribbons and storage equipment we offer.

Gift wrapping
Wrapped up in fun!
Special occasion
The best thing to be wrapped up in is love! The next best is some
of the wraps, papers, ribbons and embellishments we have at
Spotlight. As with all our party ideas and products, we can help you
create pressies with panache regardless of your budget or your bow
tying skills. Choose from themed selections like pirates or fairies,
coordinated and chic combinations, age or gender related, you
name it. We’ve got noodle boxes, gift bags, many sizes of coloured
gift boxes, gorgeous ribbons, raffia and tissue paper. Venture into
the craft aisles and invent your own wrap wonders with craft papers,
fabrics, embellishments and more.
