The Baking Store


Qum Baby is keeping me very busy these days so i haven't had much of a chance to blog. Oh and I only have vpn on my phone which also makes it hard to blog as Blogspot is blocked here. Qum Baby usually goes to grab my phone everytime I take it out (he usually wins LOL) so that's another reason I've been on social media a lot less these last few months.

I've had lots of ideas for blog posts, but haven't had a chance to type them out... So here we go.

I thought I'd dedicate a few posts to shopping in Qum. A lot of people tell me they read my blog before moving out here... So these posts are for you! I hope they help.

There's a baking store in Dore shahr between kuche 23 & 25. It's quite a small shop. Open from 10am to 2.30pm and then again from 5pm to 11pm. Next door is a party supplies store which has some nice stuff too.

The store stocks everything for your baking needs and most of it is made in Iran - food colours, sprinkles, baking tins etc

They also have imported goods too, as well as things like cream of tartar (Iranian made) and chocolate chips which were both previously unavailable in Iran. (Side note- the local shireeni bakery sells me the chocolate chips for cost price, which works out cheaper than this store)

Another thing to note is that there is another baking store near falak e jihad (near Imam Khumayni madressa). I haven't been there personally but some of the sisters say it's a bit cheaper than the Dore shahr shop but not as fancy. For me personally, I'm in Dore shahr anyway most days so it doesn't make sense for me to go to the other store.

I've taken some pictures of the store... Hope he gives me a discount for advertising his store!!
