Product Description

Amazon.com Review

My childhood birthday parties rose up the ladder of primary-school social events after my mother took a cake-decorating class. Decorating the cakes herself allowed greater individuality and creativity, guaranteeing a unique birthday menu and jealous friends. With this cake-decorating kit, there's no need to take a class to express your hidden artistic side--extensive instructions and great ideas are included in the manual. With 50 essential tools, the kit makes it easy to cover a cake with roses, hearts, and cartoon characters in no time. If you're reluctant to test your skills on a freshly baked cake, there's a practice board for experimentation. There's also food coloring, spatulas, and everything else required for a memorable cake. The entire kit comes in a groovy authentic toolbox, so you're ready to meet the next cake-decorating challenge like an ECT, emergency cake technician. --Laura Cuthbert

4.0 out of 5 stars What a great "toolbox", June 26, 2000

By	David Bock "javaguy" (Hamilton, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product, June 6, 2006

By	ReadNReVu - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its the best way to carry around all of your supplies, March 3, 2001

By	Stephanie Manley (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.
