I got an email from Wilton yesterday regarding this. I try to be careful with strange emails even when I know who they are from so I decided not to reply directly from the email but to go on Wilton's website. I couldn't find it there and so I guess I was just waiting around a bit. Glad to know it is legit. I really want to buy two books from here though and don't have the extra money. Plus, I just won two bids on Ebay for several yearbooks.

I have heard of others receiving this email. There is nothing about it on the Wilton site, which makes me wonder if it is indeed legit! Has anyone that received this email, sent a copy of it by going directly on the Wilton site and emailing them there? Sorry, but there is a lot of fraud going on lately and it wouldn't be the first time that someone had cracked into the Wilton membership list. Buyer beware!

Mimi,
I received emails from Paypal that looked exactly like the real thing, exactly like real ones I had received. They had a link too and that link was exactly as the real one would be and it brought me to a site that looked exactly like the Paypal site. But none of it was real. That is why I asked. Fortunately I was wary and checked it out with Paypal.
I just found it rather odd that if Wilton is offering this deal in conjunction with these magazines, that they don't have anything about it on the Wilton site. I think I will email them and ask them about it.
There are just so many good frauds out there and ways of them getting into emails and putting up fake email addresses and such, it makes me worry. It is easy to obtain a 1-800 number too.
Just me, but better safe than sorry.

Will do, I am just being over cautious likely! I have had a number of fraudulent emails that I think are directly related to my address appearing on that site. Obviously not Wilton's fault, but annoying just the same. Some sites have even scanned the site to drum up membership.
Anyway, they are usually good to get back to you within a day or so, so we will see. Hope I am not alarming anyone, it just strikes me as a bit odd that they wouldn't be advertising it on their site and that only some members are receiving this email, not all members.

Hey, I have to be careful of all my emails. Just last week I got this Paypal notice that another email address was added to my account - that I was being notified for security purposes. Now, it looked very real, but something made me think twice about it. I decided to not respond to the email by clicking any of their links and just go to EBay's website and enter through there and when I checked my account information, there was only one email address on the account. I then forwarded the email to Paypal's spam alert address and they quickly replied back that it was indeed a scam and that they were phishing for my personal information. So, for that very reason, I am a little more aware of what I click on.
I hate to be a party pooper but I think the combination subscription special only saves you $3. Also, if you go directly to the american cake decorating website to order the subsription, all you need is the promotion code. Seems legit if you go this route.
Thanks Talmas. Here is Wilton's reply:

Hi Mimi,
Haha, I guess I worry someone might get rooked in. But Wilton, as always, was great to get right back with a response!
