Wilton White Icing Tube

Ok, I was a little taken aback by the price, but when I got it in the mail, I discovered I had been sent three tubes. It kind of felt like I won the lottery! So anyway, I made a record player cake for my husband for his birthday and needed black icing. I wanted something easy to use but tasted great. I didn't want to just dye some chocolate icing because it never gets to true black for me. This stuff is BLACK. I really don't want to know how they do it but they do it well. It even tastes good and sweet like it should.It doesn't come with a tip, but you can purchase any sort of tip and use that on this tube as long as you also buy a coupler for it. Or simply squirt it into a plastic bag and snip off a corner and use it that way. I did empty the tube out into a bowl and mixed in a little water to make it go on smoother. It is a thick icing so if you need to ice a cake with it or do detail work you will want to thin it out beforehand. A lot easier than making your own, that's for sure!

What can you really say about icing? If you aren't making your own, Wilton is clearly the best alternative. Black is tough from scratch unless you want to use chocolate as the base, so this is a standby in my house. It tastes great and is the perfect consistency for decorating. It will turn one's tongue a lovely shade of dark purple, but the color does not seem to stain anything else.

Bought before Halloween to have available to decorate cookies for a children’s party. Ordered early since there were only a couple left in stock. After opening the icing it appeared hard. I decided I better taste it only to find it tasted disgusting and old. Amazon would not refund me since it was just past the 30 day return window.

Easy to use!

Did not accept the Wilton standard tip, though all the other colors I ordered did. It tasted okay, but some kids could taste the dye. I don't think I would use it again, but it was easy to use, less the tips not fitting.

We decorated Halloween treats in my Preschool class. It worked well, except for the tip was a little bigger than I thought it would be so we had to be extra careful. Other than that, it worked well.

Soft, easy to use and it tastes good

Item was fresh and much less than retail
