New Cake Decorating Beginner's Guide

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.

This is a great kit, portable and very well-suited to someone who wants to decorate cakes/cookies but not go all out with wedding cakes, as the largest kit does.

The book is fairly detailed as an introduction, and there is a good selection of tips inside. Even though you cannot store the larger tips on the points, you can however put other small tips in between those already on the plastic points--especially for example Tip #225 which has a little metal frosting guide insert that could get bent or broken if you try to press it down on the plastic point. This would help you keep duplicates or tip families together in quadrants, if you didn't want to keep them just in the straight rows.

I agree about the box colors available--they could have done much better in that regard.

My main concern (and why it only gets 4 stars) is how long the hinge on the lid will hold up over time, since it seems to be made of plastic without any metal reinforcement.

I got mine using a 50% off coupon at the local chain craft store, so even Amazon's price seems rather high to me.

I am sure many of you are like me. You love to decorate, but gosh, where do you put all of the stuff? I have no idea. This caddy is perfect for putting all of your tips in, it also holds your colors, and much much more. There is enough room for several bags, I also keep additional colors, paint brushes, and a couple of cookie cutters in here. This is a roomy box that has been designed for keeping your cake decorating supplies in. This is a definate must for those of us to love to bake.

This item is AWESOME. About 9 years ago, I took the Wilton cake decorating classes. No one told me there was a kit, so I began purchasing items one-by-one. I loved the classes, and enjoyed them. I wasn't very careful at that time with my items, and many got destroyed. I gave up the cake decorating for quite a while. I have a 9 year old and 20 month old twins now, and always looking for ways to cut costs. I decided I wanted to make my twin's birthday cake this year, and the first thing I thought about was 'Gotta get the entire kit!!'. Since I know I'll only being doing 'around the house cakes' and not decorating for events, I knew this kit would be perfect, with all the basics! Plus if you add up the cost of all the items included, you certainly SAVE money! Always a plus! The color on this Tool Caddy is much better than the color of the one you can buy with no assesories. Buy this item with confidence! I'm sure you'll enjoy.

This is the best value for your money! It's great for keeping it all together, especially when decorating on the go. I love the pegs for organizing your decorating tips & there's plenty of room under the tray for everything you need to make the cake (except the pans!) I definately recommend it.

When I first rec'd the item I was a bit dissappointed because it was missing some things from the kit, but after going through it more I realized there were also additional goodies put in there!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Wilton Cake decorating kit! I have used it for EVERY cake! This is a great kit to get if you are a beginner, as it should have everything you need to make LOTS of beautiful cakes!

This is a great set, has everything needed to start decorating cakes. Plenty of extra room for additional supplies too. Easy to understand directions and practice board make beautiful decorating a breeze.

Not a bad selection of tips, but difficult to store anything other than standard sized tips. Not enough compartments for the dyes (only 8), but they are the right size to hold dusting powder containers as well. I don't mind the color of the box, but then mine doesn't usually leave the house. Overall, my biggest problem was not having enough storage space. I decorate a lot of cakes so I have more tips than there are places and more than 8 colors of dye. And that doesn't include all of my other accessories. One plus is that it has a pre-drilled hole to place a padlock to keep little fingers from playing in the dye

I am a beginner cake decorator and I purchased this kit to save some money, also as a way to keep everything neat and in one spot. I really enjoy this kit. I only wish the bottom compartment was bigger to carry things like an apron and such. Definitely a must if you want to start decorating and dont know how to start. The bigger kits have much more stuff in it, and I wish I had got one of them, but this is the cheapest and prettiest colored box in my opinion.
