I've been getting more and more into baking lately, and I am so excited I found this place! The second you walk in, the walls are lined with all these super fun and unique cake pans, and there are so many fun baking supplies--liners, piping tools, edible glitter/luster dust, cupcake toppers... honestly dangerous in the best way. I specifically came in for cream cheese emulsion for cake pops, but ended up wandering every aisle because there's just so much to look at. Also--huge win--they carry a ton of Colour Mill food coloring options, which are known for being super pigmented and great for buttercream/chocolate. And somehow cheaper than Amazon?? Immediate add to cart (I grabbed at least four). It's a bit out of my way, but this is 100% becoming a regular stop for baking supplies & it's supporting local so would much rather put my money here than Michaels or Amazon. read more

This is a really great store for all your dessert needs. We came here for cake and cookie decorating supplies and specialty ingredients and Lynn's did not disappoint. They have a ton of specialty supplies and baking ingredients that you can't find at traditional grocery stores. The staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. If you are into baking and dessert making, definitely check this place out. read more

Thrilled to have found this store online. Very happy with everything from start to finish. Though I'll be back! Highly recomnend.​ read more

Knowledgeable and helpful salespeople, good selection, fair prices. What else do you need?

A one of kind store for everything sweet! I can't say enough! My four adult children prepared Christmas candy every year from when they were young. Then they grew up and the store in our town (Canon's in Wilmington, De) went out of business. Then we found Lynn's, where we can order online (my one daughter lives in MN close by) Last year we made probably over 100 boxes of candy. About to place my second order for this year! read more

Excellent service and great selection of supplies! I come up with so many ideas when I get the chance to just roam the store.

This is my happy place in Fridley. As a baking enthusiast, I really appreciate being able to buy some of the more specialized ingredients and equipment in person--sure, you can order it online, but you never quite know what you're going to get. Lynn's has all of the things that you need to make, decorate, and transport almost any sweet treat that you can conceive of, from cakes and cupcakes to chocolate and hard candies. It is a must-visit if you're a crazy cupcake lady like me. They always have a table with seasonal decorations set out: right now, the table has a few dozen fall-themed sprinkles (fun shapes, great color combinations, and jimmies, too!). If you're planning a party, they even have cute cupcake toppers (even the rings you remember from when you were a kid). They have a huge selection of flavorings, too: I highly recommend the flavored oils. I add a drop or two to my water to make a version of hint. It's tasty! read more

Oh my gosh I can't believe I hadn't been to Lynn's before!! I've been hoping to find a baking supply store near me to no avail - I've been ordering sugar decorations from etsy shops, food coloring from wherever I can get it, and I've had such a hard time finding melting wafers I liked - until now! They had EVERYTHING - holiday / seasonal sprinkle mixes, specialty shaped cake pans, multiple brands of food coloring, different pans and trays, piping bags and tips, a million different decorative items from sprinkles you can make a custom blend to decorative cupcake liners - and they had SO MANY MELTING WAFERS. Saved me from having to cross a family Christmas cookie off my list! Staff was at tentative and helpful to everyone in the store - and the store was roomy and bright and easy to wander around and find things you need and things you want cause it's be fun to try them :) Definitely will be going back! read more

Excellent service from an exceptional staff. Wide selection of supplies. Well worth the visit!

If you need it to bake with, Lynne's has it. The support staff was fantastic and I left with everything I needed to make my granddaughters flower birthday success. read more

I have been to this store twice in the past week and I am certain I will be back. I have always been a very good amateur baker, and I've recently gotten into working with chocolate to make candy (because lord help me, we all need new hobbies nowadays, right?). I made the newbie mistake of assuming it would be best to order things like chocolate wafers and molds on Amazon. Turns out, this is one of those areas where Amazon just does not do the job well. Nor is it even that convenient. The chocolate wafers I ordered online are still in transit (10 days to get here), and I am not expecting much as several people reported theirs arriving melted. The silicone molds I ordered were flimsy and not the best. Fortunately for me, I was smart enough to google local candy shops and found this gem! Even though it's not a fancy store and is a bit dated with dim lighting, it surely is a mecca for people who like to bake! They had every variety of chocolate wafers I could want - dark, milk, white and various colors - sold in a variety of package sizes. They have rows and rows of candy molds, clear plastic ones, white plastic ones, ones for specific sports, holidays, etc. They had edible glitter, luster dust, flavored concentrates, fondant, decorative toppers, trays, tins, pans, cookie cutters and just about anything you have ever seen on TV on one of those big baking shows. And I had to show a tremendous amount of self-restraint when facing down an entire aisle of the cutest nonpareils in every color imaginable. I was an absolute pig in slop and spent WAY more than I thought I would. And then I couldn't stop thinking about some of the items I left behind and went back today, lol. The gentleman I assume was the owner was there both times. Unlike other reviewers, I didn't find him to be rude. I just found him to be hands-off, in a good way. I don't like feeling like I'm being rushed, and I don't like feeling like employees are hovering over me. When I went to the register, he was perfectly friendly and this time even gave me a slight discount because I was paying cash and told him how happy I was that I found this store. I shall return, probably sooner than my budget would like! read more

With few options in the Twin Cities, I've made the trek to Lynns on many occasions. Even by [#10] bus prior to driving. Anyway, I've come to accept that they're not the friendliest bunch. Not mean... if I need help it's given. However, there aren't any warm smiles or welcomes upon entering. Just get what you need. They do have a really good assortment of ingredients and supplies. Somethings are over priced (i.e.; fondant moulds) and others are priced fair (i.e.; cookie cutters, cake boards). That said b/c there arent many options throughout the city, it's a good place to visit if you make confectionary treats. read more

I have been here several times. They carry a wide variety of items, and if you're a baker or candy-maker, you'll definitely have to check them out. I was looking for a mango flavoring concentrate, and they happened to be out of stock. They took my name and phone number down and called me to let me know when they arrived and were back in stock. They have very reasonable prices, and I love that they are a local business. Also they have an entire wall of special cake pans that you can rent for 24 hours. What a great idea for when you wanna bake a special cake and don't want to spend loads on a new pan! And ensures that hundreds of cake pans don't end up in landfills/thrift stores/in your basement or garage unused. read more

Great selection, helpful staff. Seems to have everything for sale you would need for baking or candy making, except maybe the oven. I needed wax paper wrappers for caramels at 11am on the Sunday before Christmas and they were well stocked with many choices of prints and colors. Thanks! read more

If you bake or make candy or chocolate, you simply MUST check out this store! I recently found myself developing a retail bakery product. After many hours of getting frustrated shopping on the internet...looking at weird shaped pans, flavors, and molds...I finally drove to Fridley. This is the place to go if you're an amateur or a professional. The variety of items boggles the mind! If Lynn's doesn't have something you need, they can get it. But they have almost everything. They had everything I was looking for except for only one item. (But they were close enough that I was able to identify exactly the size and the style that I needed.) They also helped me with other things that I didn't know I needed. All of this helped me out tremendously. I was surprised that the prices were very reasonable. Many of the products are competitive with pricing you find in the net. Plus, if you drive to Lynn's, you can look at it and touch it and determine if it will really work for you. To top is all off, the customer service was awesome -- A+ Thanks -- I'll be back! -Daddy Maxx Retro read more

I bought a lot of their Gumpaste Orchids, and they arrived perfect! The amount of work that went into packing them just blew me away. TIME was given to it. Will DEFF use them again. read more

This is a wonderful shop. They have a great selection and a well managed inventor. Staff is very friendly and helpful. It is definitely my go-to place! read more

This place is awesome!! They have everthing a caker, candyer, cookier could want. Fair prices. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Tom especially was giving everyone who came in, tips and tricks to make their projects better. I could have stayed there for hours but I had a huffy teenager with me. There was So. Much. Stuff. Awesome variety of every item. Lots of brands to choose from read more

Lynn's Cake & Candy Supplies - cake and candy - Candy Stores Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

WOW...that was my first thought when I walked in. Lynn's has so much that it could be a little overwhelming; however the staff is so helpful that it is impressive and not overwhelming. Every year I make caramels for Christmas and usually use cut wax paper to wrap them but wanted to try something a little different and use actual candy wrappers. Like Erica C, I didn't want to order online and have to wait, so we made the trek from Cottage Grove to Fridley. I picked up the wrappers and a candy mold in preparation for an event this spring. I can't wait to bring my daughter up to Lynn's to let her experience the wonderfulness. If you are looking for cake decorating supplies, candy making supplies, or just about anything else, this is the place for you. read more

Two of my dear friends were getting married, and I blithely offered to bake their wedding cake. I offered a year in advance, so I figured I'd have more than enough time to teach myself how to actually DO that. I'm a damn good baker but this project has been a huge challenge and Lynn's definitely helped in a big way. 1. Important wedding cake supply- they sell fondant. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find fondant? It's even hard to buy it on the internet, which is totally surreal. It's expensive as BALLS so I didn't use it for my project, but the fact that they had it- and had several varieties- was great to see. 2. Their cake pans were very fairly priced, high-quality, and they had tons of sizes and varieties. I got three really basic ones (9", 12", and 14") and it cost me maybe $30? Not bad at all, and again, quality cake pans aren't easy to find. 3. Wilton totally sucks. They will nickel and dime you to death. Wilton cake rounds- which are essentially just heavy cardboard circles- run you about $10 for a pack of six at Joann Fabrics. Lynn's has a bunch of cake rounds for like 50 cents each, tons of sizes and shapes, and you can buy them one at a time. Bam. Done. 4. If you want a froufrou wedding topper (sugar birds, hearts, fancy fondant lilies, etc) this is the place you go for the best variety. 5. They also have TOOLS- like honest to god baking tools. Huge variety (whisks, frosting knives, heating cores, you name it), totally affordable, and the only place I've seen like it in the Twin Cities. read more

Love this store because they have a huge assortment for my baking needs all in one stop. I think they are also very reasonably priced.

Huge selection and some if you need it for a cake I bet you can find it here! Plus the staff is super helpful and friendly.

I was disappointed in the shop and customer service. I was not greeted by the two employees standing at the counter and was never asked if I needed any help. A lot of items are extremely old and out of date. I was excited to come here as a traveler from out of state, but know to not waste my time the next time I'm in town. read more

I offered to make mini cupcakes for my nephew's Celebration Of Life, made a run to Lynn's on Monday (not knowing they were closed on Sunday and Monday) went back on Tuesday and bought pre-made buttercream frosting (it is very good!), a mini cupcake pan that makes 48 at a time, and six 12 cupcake covered carriers. Went home and started baking, ended up with 228 cupcakes so I made a third trip to get 16 more carriers. Love this store! read more

I'm so glad I found this place! It's a baker's paradise. I've hopped onto the cake pop bandwagon and after many failures and success... have become a cake pop snob. Wilton is not my best friend and all the better baking products are found online. But no... I can't wait X amount of days. I have to make them NOOWWWW. This is where Lynn's is the light at the end of the tunnel. They have everything you need from Merckens Candy coatings, to sprinkles galore, Americolor food writers, and every cookie cutter you can think of at great prices. Alot cheaper than your neighborhood Michael's who only carry lower quality Wilton stuff (see I am becoming a snob!!!) read more

My new go-to cake supply store. They have anything and almost everything you can think of if your a baker. I've only visited the store twice but I'm kind of addicted and can spend up to any hour just looking through stuff. Can't wait until the next time I need to go back in to get something. read more

I've read the two other reviews, and unfortunately have not had the same great experience. It is true, there is a lot of stuff there....but they always seem to be out of common things every time I go. I've taken to calling ahead now, as to not waste a trip out there. Some of the employees are a bit snippy as well. It really bums me out that my experiences have been less than pleasant. I really prefer The Kitchen Window. Much more friendly and well stocked. read more

I was looking for what has become a rare candy making item. My city's candy and cake shops were disappointing so my google and internet search began . After two days of searching I came across Lynn's on the internet. I sent an email asking about the product I was looking for because after a few days I was TIRED of looking through website after website after website through literally hundreds and hundreds or items just to be disappointed . So instead of searching their site I went for the kill and asked directly . Tom wrote me back immediately and that was impressive since it was ridiculously late at night . He was polite and prompt and assured me he could help me either online or via phone . I was ELATED. Finally I could continue my candy making . As my items were missing and I was stuck and needed these to continue. I placed my order online , I received a call the next day from Sara(h) and spoke with Tom that day as well. They had my order packed and ready to ship BEFORE I was even out of bed ! That's service . Tom was polite helpful and went above and beyond for me . I'm super sad this store isn't local to me , I'd love to be able to call this my local store . Now I know where to turn when I need anything at all, baking or candy related . Thank you Tom , Thank you Sara(h) . I appreciate you and your staff. Amazing service and people . read more

I've been going to Lynn's for years! Even before they moved to this place. Always great stuff at an affordable price.

Love this place! So many options for the home/amateur baker! I felt like a kid in a candy supply store! Lynn's has all the items I needed for packaging and decorating my cakes and cookies. And then some! read more

I just walked out of Lynns feeling very disillusioned as a long time customer. Last week, I purchased a square pan from the sale rack, I checked everywhere on the table for a sign that would prohibit returns, I found none. I went to return it today and was told I can't return sale items (I never used the pan) I went back to the sale table and saw there was again no sign saying that, and then I saw out of the corner of my eye, a sign on a wall, next to the restrooms, camoflouged by various cake magazines, etc the sign saying sale items no return. Mind you the sale table is not connected to the wall or even next to the sign. Also at the front of the counter there is a huge sign that says no returns of food-molds, etc. but you guessed it nothing about sale items. Really disappointing. read more

I've been to Lynn's a couple times and have always found exactly what I was looking for (and more!). The first time I found exactly what I needed and didn't require any assistance. The second time I needed a little help and a very nice gal helped me find my items and was excited to talk about the projects I had planned. The product variety offered and price is appropriate. However, when I was waiting to check out, both times I heard Lynn and the employees complaining about another customer. The first time it was regarding one that had called in asking a question and the second time was one that had just left. Both times, the person looked at me as though they expected me to chime in and agree with them. I feel like this is really unprofessional and am not impressed. What are you saying about me after I leave? I'm bummed that other cake/candy supply stores have closed because a lack of options will probably keep me coming back to Lynn..... read more

I have purchased supplies here before and have always had good service. This last time I purchased 2 lbs Mercks white chocolate to make some home made almond bark and after getting everything cured we tried it and it had a bad flavor. i called Lynns and told them about my experience and how I made the bark and they said I did everything fine and they had not heard anything about bad chocolate but were going to contact the manufacturer to see if there were any issues. They told me to stop in and they would check it out if I wanted otherwise they would call me back. i was out later in the day and stopped by with some of my bad tasting almond bark as well as the second pound of chocolate that had the off flavor to me. I talked with Lynn who tasted the chocolate and she did not taste any off flavors like I was tasting but she believed what I was telling her. She pulled out some of the same chocolate from the back room and had me taste it did not have any off flavors. They replaced my 2 pounds of bad chocolate that I had purchased and provided me some additional tips to making some better almond bark. They were also going to follow up with the manufacturer to see if there were any issues so they could pull any bad stock. In most businesses customer service is lost but here it is alive and well. Thanks Lynn's you have earned my business and respect for how you handled things. read more
