I'm looking for persons, not products. Recently arrived in La Catalina (near Cabrera) and will be here about a year. In the past, I did cake decorating as a hobby and now will be teaching my host "mother" how to do it. Looking for bakery supply sources (probably in Santiago or SD) and info on dealing with the humidity. Any ideas?
Thanks, Susan

My mother in-law bakes cakes for different events. The only issue I have seen with the humidity is with the meringue frosting she uses. I know she gets most of her supplies in the Capital but locally she gets her sugar flower decorations in San Francisco de Macoris. I have seen some cake decorating items in La Sirena.

you can get some industrial cake pans, etc... in most of the supermarkets in santiago/san francisco - there's a famous bakery in santiago that sells fondant (Fifa's), also they usually have powdered sugar in stock (which in the supermarket... it's hit or miss).
