I don't remember if it was from the list or you sent it directly to 
me, but I do remember sending the lady to that store on 22nd Street. 
It's the New York Cake and Confectionery Supply Company (at least 
that's what it says on their sign). Their website is at 
http://www.nycake.com . They seem, for simplicity's sake, to have 
shortened their name to NY Cake Supply.

However, the store is nothing less than a confectioners' Disneyland, 
as far as I can tell. I could see Olwen making a full day of it, at 
the very least. (This is where I bought the chocolate for making the 
truffles.)

It's one of the two absolutely-don't-miss NYC foodie stores (for 
tools and equipment, plus confectionery ingredients, but not food 
food), the other being J.B. Prince & Co. Both appear from the outside 
to be dingey holes in the wall (Prince doesn't even have a 
storefront, it's on the eighth floor of an office building), but both 
are great places for cooks to get lost in for hours, both very 
serious places and absolutely devoid of all pretention.
