I'm just getting into cake decorating and have been looking all over the place for the tools. This kit sure puts practically all I need in one package. The Amazon price is a little expensive for a "kit", but it's definitely a better value than buying each piece separately. Most items are "retail" packaged within the kit. One reviewer mentioned there was a bag that's not Wilton, but it actually is, just doesn't have their logo on it. I think the quality is pretty good as well, for example, the spatulas are stainless steel... and says "Made in Japan", not other low quality manufacturing countries. The caddy is durable, but not elegant.. it's just like your plumber's tool box. I found more details from the website for this product before I brought it:

Getting back to price, generally Amazon got the best price. But I got this from Mi*ha*l's with a 40 percent discount coupon in their monthly flyer (here in California).

I'm a novice cake decorator, and I thought I'd get this big kit instead of purchasing one tool here, one tool there and finding I was missing something when rushing to prepare for an event. I'm glad I did; this kit has everything you'd need as a beginner. But the quality of the products is not first-rate, that's for sure. Things are on the flimsy side--but, again, good enough for the beginner, and at this point it's better to get to practice different skills, as many as possible. The toolbox the tools come in is also made of cheap plastic and is very ugly. Not crucial, obviously, but it keeps me from giving this kit 5 stars instead of 4. I do recommend it, though, if you want to get into cake decorating!

I just came back from one of the craft stores where using half price coupond makes several kits be similarly priced. I compared the 50 piece kit, 101 piece and 177 piece. The 50 piece kit had the most important things but I'd still need a few extras. The 101 piece was excellent because it comes with the Wilton book everyone loves for learning that gets excellent reviews on Amazon (sells for $15 on Amazon and didn't see it at the craft store) instead of 1 spatula you get 3, instead of 4 icing colors you get 8, there are other usedul extras like a cake leveler. All things that I will use eventhough I know nothing about cake decorating. The container was almost the same- a fish tackle box look- but the 101 kit had a blue lid vs the uglier pastel green. The 177 piece did not have the book. A big minus in my eyes. The container is also far more obnoxious. It's a huge plastic container that get lots of complaints because things don't fit. The tackle box style of this one will be far easier to store and find counterspace for when I'm using it.

Got this for the Wilton classes I was taking...boy, was I the envy of the class. The teacher used my kit to show everyone else all the things they might need. I did buy a few extra tips and more bags, but this comes with (almost) everything but the cake!

This is a great product - my only criticism is that it could be a little bigger. The top tray does not fit snugly into the container once it is filled with other items that are also included in the kit.

I ordered this kit as a Christmas present for someone who's becoming a baker. They absolutely freaked out, when they saw it, and I was surprised at just how much stuff this kit included. The kit has literally everything you could ever need to start making cakes, with maybe the exception of gum paste tools. Otherwise it covers it all. This was well worth the money, and much more valuable than the smaller set that doesn't have half the stuff in it.

this was a really great price. all the tools were in it, nothing missing or broken. i have been using it since i got it and its been so nice to have everything in one place and a neat carrier to take with me! i definitely recommend getting it.

I actually purchased this decorating set for someone else. I'm sure she will love it. I have a much older model and it is the answer to all of my decorating needs for cookies/cakes/pies/deviled eggs, etc. They make a great product.

This is a great kit. It has just about everything you need for basic cake decorating. All I will need now are more tips and some disposable bags, and I will be set. The case is perfect, lightweight, and easy to carry. Definitely a good investment for the beginner cake decorator.

LOVE everything in this, it's definatly a good starter kit & a good way to keep everything organized & save space.
