im gonna color some fondant and i have 1 question. what do you prefer....wilton paste colors or americolor gel paste??? i would be realu happy wirh many answers

I personally use Wilton cause I'm a newbie and I haven't invested in Americolor, but everyone swears that its a million times better. Don't get me wrong, Wilton works just fine, but I will have to eventually move on to bigger and better things.

thankyou so much for answer. isnt anybody there who have tried both products that could help me out her???

I have both colors, and I have to say that the Americolor gels blow Wilton out of the water! It takes alot less coloring to get bright colors, and the dropper bottles are WAY easier than the toothpick in the Wilton jar method. Americolor all the way for me now. HTH!

yeah, I've heard americolors are way better (and not just on here). As I use up my Wiltons I plan on switching over

I have used both love the americolor seems to take less so start off with tiny bit, there are also powder colors as well.. love those. =o)

I also heard that the americolor doesn't fade or bleed as much. I use americolor in red and blacks and colors that take alot of gel to get the right color. I agree about the dropper top as well. I hate using all those tooth picks!

I have used both and I now only use americolor. I hate that i wasted so much money initally on wilton colors. Not only are they more time consuming to use, like the above poster stated but if you don't use them regularily they turn all gritty. Plus americolor's colors are more true and you use less.

I have both wilton and americolor. I prefer Americolor. the squirt bottle is a lot neater and it does seem to take less. But I havre to get it at the cake decorating store, they dont have it at walmart or my area craft stores.

I just bought Americolor at my local cake store on Monday. I haven't tried it yet, but it is cheaper than the Wilton color. Americolor was $1.39 per bottle. Wilton the cheapest I can get it is $1.69.

What is it with the grit?!? I thought that maybe I had reused a tooth pick by mistake, but you say its because it was old? Anyone know the reason for that?
