Wilton 2109-859 50-Piece Tool and Caddy Decorating Set Review

Wilton 2109-859 50-Piece Tool and Caddy Decorating Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love to bake. In fact, I baked my own wedding cake. Last weekend, I baked a wedding cake for a friend getting married in Boston, which was no small feat because I live in Virginia! I baked the cake in VA and drove it up, and iced it once I got there. I had to do all the smooth coat and all the detail work right at the reception hall, with people watching. I used all my wilton bags and tips to do the job, but had nothing 'nice' to carry them all in (which would have looked very professional in front of an eagerly awaiting reception hall). After seeing one of these decorator's toolboxes, I rushed to Amazon to add it to my wishlist.
2 reasons it didn't score a 5: First of all, the nice plastic molds for storing the tips do not accept any larger Wilton decorating tips like #789, or any of the longer ones such as #1L. Second of all, the lids to the toolboxes are annoying shades of pastel plastic... It looks like you are carrying around a makeup kit for Malibou Barbie.
Other than that, this is a must-have if you need to travel and decorate.

Wilton Trim-N-Turn Ultra Rotating Cake Stand Review

Wilton Trim-N-Turn Ultra Rotating Cake Stand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have only used this product a handful of times, but it does make icing a cake much, much easier. The cake turner can also be locked into a stable position and used as a cake stand. My husband really hates the green color, but I find it rather retro. As for cleaning it, the product comes apart easily and reassembles just as easily. I would buy it again as the product does exactly what it claims to do.

Wilton Fondant Book Review

Wilton Fondant Book
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really love this book as a beginner. I'm currently taking the fondant and gum paste course by Wilton. This book is a great progression from what you learn in the course. Many of the ideas are doable from the beginner level and of course they throw in some extremely impressive designs that are for someone who is more advanced or looking for a challenge. I'm very glad I took the course because Wilton does some things that don't make a whole lot of sense when your following their instructions. Like they will tell you to use a leave shaped cutter to cut out a peice of gum paste then they will tell you to roll it into a ball (seems silly to use the shape but the shape is the amount of gum pasted you needed via Wilton world). Overall some great ideas and well written.

Wilton Performance Pans Pillow Pan Set Review

Wilton Performance Pans Pillow Pan Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Well, I love the look of these pans and I knew I had to have them. When I made them however, I realized the amount of batter needed is waaayyy less than they state on the instructions. So the best thing to do is fill them 2/3 full. Take a measuring cup of water and measure how much you need to make it 2/3 full and then write that number in sharpie marker on the bottom of your pan. I also found that I needed to bake the small one 10 minutes longer and the medium 20 minutes longer. Disappointing. BUT, it looks very cool when finished so worth having for sure!

Wilton Performance Cake Pans Round Pan Set Review

Wilton Performance Cake Pans Round Pan Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For some reason I expected these cake pans to be heavier, but they are aluminum and very lightweight. They scratch relatively easily. The cakes baked up well and the variety of sizes was very helpful. Shipping was fast. I didn't use the special baking coil in the center of the 10", but it didn't matter, it baked up just fine. I didn't try out the 12" yet. It was very helpful to have the number of cups needed for each pan plainly described on the packaging.

Wilton 2104-12 Icing Sculptor Set with Handle and 64 Design Blades Review

Wilton 2104-12 Icing Sculptor Set with Handle and 64 Design Blades
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this product. It makes it very easy to decorate the sides of my cakes so they look fabulous. I am not the most creative person- and my cakes often show it- not anymore! My only complaint, although minor, is that you have to add a fairly thick layer of thinner consistency icing for the tool to work easily. Otherwise it pulls the edges right out of the holder. Once I discovered this trick I was very pleased!

Create beautiful homemade cakes just like a professional with this simple-to-use icing sculptor set.

Wilton Aluminum Performance Pans 4 Piece Petal Pan Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have just used these pans to bake a wedding cake and it turned out beautifully!! Everyone at the wedding couldn't stop complimenting on the design of the cake. These pans work wonderfully because they are made of a thicker construction than other pans. This prevents them from burning the cake easily. Also, they are made of a very good quality aluminum which prevents them from rusting or chipping. Who wants a cake with chips of paint in it??? The cake baked in these pans was easy to decorate and stacked beautifully. So, for a different look in a wedding cake I would definitely recommend this cake pan set!!

Wilton 902-240 48-Page Soft-Cover Cake-Decorating Guide, Course 1 Review

Wilton 902-240 48-Page Soft-Cover Cake-Decorating Guide, Course 1
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just a note, you get this book free when you sign up to take the Wilton Cake Class Course 1 (at least you do at Michael's Arts & Crafts where I took mine)
The book is easy to understand, pictures are literally step by step and include instruction such as "offhand," meaning it will tell you that something should resemble an ice cream cone or look like a behive, to swirl here, or lightly brush here, sweeping motion, etc. I found it very refreshing not to all be spoken in terms that only people who attended culinary school would understand. It also shows you the pictures of suggested supplies you will need in the beginning of the book so your not running back to the store each time you start a new segment.
I would suggest just taking the class because on top of getting the book free, you do get a lot more tips and advice from the instructor that you can jot down in the ample space imbetween pictures and notes in the book. But if you too busy or there isn't a class scheduled near you, this book would certainly suffice in helping you get started!

These cake pans are way better than the Wilton pans. I have used both and the thicker walls and more heavy duty pans means your cakes will be less likely to dome up. Used with magicake strips and your cakes are nearly flat. This set is a great deal for the 5 sizes you get.

I was looking for something like this to use as a paper weight for my desk. I saw the price and assumed that the ring would be made out of thick plastic and the quality didn't look bad. I just received the item a few days ago and was very disappointed. The quality is not good at all. It is made out of cheap plastic and looks like something you could buy from the dollar store. There were even places where the plastic was chipping off. I would not recommend this product unless the price is greatly reduced.
