OK, so I'm wondering if I need to buy the expensive food writer markers, or if I can use Crayola non-toxic ones that are 1/4 the price? This probably sounds horrible, but I know that Wilton recommends non-toxic chalk for dusting some of their flower designs so I don't see how this is any different. Can someone help clarify this for me? Is there any reason not to use the non-toxic regular markers?

I've been using the non-toxic markers for years. If it's OK for a toddler to suck on them, it's OK by me to use them to write on a plaque, for example.

Thanks so much! I thought so, but wanted a 2nd opinion.
