Hi. I'm new here but i've been baking cakes for a couple of days now and I have been getting request from friends at work to make them cakes. I wanted to try a product by Wilton called the Dessert Decorator Plus. I was wondering if anyone here has tried it? I heard the Pro version was terrible because the plastic handle would break. Before I get burned buying this I want to know if this is a good item to get or is there a alternative out there that is just as good? My fingers cramp really bad when using a pastry bag. Thanks

chibikim, you are new and your "squeezing muscles" haven't been developed yet! keep practicing and decorating and before you know it, you will be able to crack open walnuts with your bare hands
DO NOT buy that wilton "calking gun" it is a cheap gimmicky tool and it's only use is to squeeze your wallet of some money. get yourself some disposable or canvas piping bags and a beginner's set of tips and couplers and work those muscles out!

Oh wow! Thank you so much Ill get it right now!
