I want to actually be prepared for holiday baking this year. I don't do a lot of baking but I do a few items that will need some supplies. I am located in Milwaukee area, Wisconsin,USA if you have a brick and mortar suggestion and,of course, I am looking for a favorite internet supplier.

So take a look at my list and see if you have any favorite suppliers for these items.

Spices:Whole and ground: cardamom,coriander, and nutmeg.

Bulk Craisins for under $4/lb

Bulk Golden raisins for under $4/lb

**I could easily buy 10-15 lbs each of the raisins/craisins and walnuts since I use them in making my daily breakfast bread.

Walnuts** and pecans (5 lbs) -they skyrocketed last year to about $10-$13/lb here!

Almond meal-( 1-2 lbs)

Sliced almonds (1 lb)

Diced candied orange and lemon peel-very hard to find locally.( 1-2 lbs)

Pannetone papers-individual size-about the size of a large muffin (24-36)

White and dark chocolate for ganache ( about 1-2 lbs each)

I am planning on baking biscotti,pannetone,filled brioche and a few varieties of cookies.
