Before I bought this product I read through all the reviews and was sceptically about the one negative review about the color changing, but that's EXACTLY what happened to me! I made this beautiful cake for my sister's birthday with fuchsia daisies around it, which turn a disgusting grayish-mauve color when the sunlight hit the cake while I was transporting it to the party (30 min. drive). Thank goodness this cake was just a gift for my sister, because I would have be absolutely infuriated if this had happened for an important event.

A little gel color and u can get the shade your looking for easily. Which means both time and money saver. Since I am learning cake baking on my own; wasting ingredients are one of my main concern. But the color gel has really helped on saving color. Which means I dont have to worry about re-ordering very often. The only two draw backs are that firstly black color should be made available in the pack, since it is one of the most difficult shades to obtain. And the quantity should be increased for the price that we are paying. But otherwise the colors are great and I would definitely order again.

I have a 12-pack of Wilton colors, but I don't see that on Amazon, so I'm reviewing for the 8-pack.

Since 0 isn't an option (and it should be), I'm rating this a 1. But it doesn't even deserve that.

I just made a wedding cake for my best friend using the black and purple Wilton colors. I needed just a touch of the black to make gray buttercream, and just a little purple for both my fondant and buttercream. Both colors looked great when I applied them to the cake, but within minutes of being exposed to sunlight (even indirect sunlight), THEY CHANGED COLORS COMPLETELY! My purple turned BLUE and my gray turned GREEN. This is not acceptable. I had no idea this change in color would occur and NO WHERE on the package does it say that colors may change with exposure to sunlight. Even if I had kept it out of sunlight completely while I made it and stored it in complete darkness, it would eventually be exposed to sunlight when I went to transport it. It changed within minutes of being exposed to the sun.

My friend's wedding is today and I have to somehow tell her that the colors we originally had are now blue and green instead of purple and gray... Not only did the buttercream change color, so did the fondant, and it is INCREDIBLY noticeable.

I'm so incredibly disappointed, and I seriously doubt the ability of Wilton to produce high-quality cake products. Believe me, I'll never use any of their products ever again.

Thanks for ruining my friend's wedding cake, Wilton.

When I started using the Pink and the red .. I tried to reach the perfect color for the color but when I tasted the cream .. it was uneatable !!!!! the taste was awful .. I donnow maybe the color is expired! or this is normal. but I couldn't use the the pink, the red because of the strong awful taste of bitterness.

The color saturation of this product is not very good. I was unable to achieve more than a dark pink for my Christmas cookie icing. In addition, the dye made the buttercream frosting taste like chemicals. Very disappointing!

Wilton!! You can't go wrong with wilton products. Simply one of the best out there. These miniature set of icing are great and the colors are fab. The good thing is that if you don't bake that often the colors won't go to waste.
