 Great Starter Kit Jul 07, 2000
I am a beginner at cake decorating and was overwhelmed with all the equipment and instructions I found at various craft stores while trying to purchase Wilton products. The Wilton 25 piece basic cake decorating set is perfect for the beginner interested in getting started. The set comes with the needed basic equipment, and is cheaper than if you were to buy all the pieces individually. The instruction book gives helps you to pinpoint mistakes. I found it easy to use despite the fact that I've had no formal instruction or class on decorating.

A Complete Kit with all the Essentials Apr 07, 2009
By SYK
I am new to cupcakes and decorative techniques and found this
kit very easy to use!
Here's the breakdown:
COLORS - Red, Yellow, Blue and Green
Okay, they really mean it when they say use a very small amount.
These are super intense colors.
I grabbed a small amount of the red because I wanted to create
a pink frosting but it turned really red!
Trust me - just dip a toothpick into the coloring and swirl.
Don't pick up a piece of the coloring.
These are concentrated colors.
Much easier to add color than to add more frosting.
Also note, these gel based colors are better
than liquid food coloring as the liquid version can
alter the consistency of your frosting.
TIPS - 5 tips included (See photos for macro shot)
3: small round tip for writing
32: large star
10: for petals
352: leaves
16: small star
COUPLERS - 2
These handy tools make it easier to change
the tips while using the same bags of frosting.
Instructions are simple to follow
PIPING BAGS - 12
12 inch disposable plastic bags
Thank goodness they are disposable.
They become quite a sticky mess afterwards.
FLOWER NAIL - 1
Some extra tips:
Don't buy cream cheese frosting like I did!
Hard to work with and it tends to "melt" or settle.
Decorate after cupcakes have cooled down.
Make sure you have a large area to work on.
Don't overfill the piping bag.
These 12 inch bags are not very large and it will get very messy
if the frosting gets to the opening of the bag.
They also say you have more control the less frosting
there is in the bag.
Bake on a Friday or Saturday so you can share your
experiments with friends and family. :]
And have a camera handy to capture your progress!
enjoy!

Great, especially for the price Dec 03, 2008
By Matthew D. Walker
"Visit my website for some laughs."
This is a great kit. I'm not a huge baker, but when I do bake I like to make things look nice. This kit has enough tips to allow you to make all kinds of shapes, most of which I'm not artsy enough to actually pull off. The disposable pastry bags are nice, but I do wish they were a little bit bigger. All in all, you can't beat it for this price.

 Perfect Starter Set! Oct 12, 2010
By Lindzann
This set is perfect for beginners like myself trying to make cookies, cakes and cupcakes look better than your average spread and sprinkles. Everything works like it should as long as you read the directions and *follow* them. The butter cream icing in the instruction booklet didn't turn out amazingly for me and started to melt while in the decorating bag. As soon as the cookies were decorated, I put them in the fridge and then they were great. In the future I'll be getting a frosting recipe off allrecipes.com.
The reason I knocked off a star, is because I would have just liked the real basic colors in this set. The colors included are Lemon Yellow, Sky Blue, Pink and Leaf Green. If you are looking for royal colors like deep red, royal blue, bright orange, forest green or dark purple, get the individual color you need at Walmart for $1.50 or buy a set with those specific colors. The reviewer who used the entire jar of *concentrated* gel coloring and still didn't get the color she wanted, was probably trying to make dark red frosting with pink coloring.
Very Nice! Apr 30, 2012
