If my paste turns solid not pastey like it was when I brought it is bad? I had some downstairs in my pantry closet on the top shelf and I guess maybe when it was cold this winter the heat got it? I dont know but it looks scarey and I starting throwing out bottles without even asking anyone.

I threw out mine also because they were too dry. Sometimes a few drops of glycerine may restore them if not very dry.One CC addict suggested microwaving for a few seconds.

I always have this problem with Wilton colors. I am gradually switching over to Americolors. I say - toss and replace! It's not like they're expensive

Mine were Wilton colors.Lesson learned, I'll stay with Americolors.
klacrawford, are they (Americolor brand) available where you live?

Omincake im not sure if they are available here im going to call hobby lobby and ask since there is no micheals here. I may have to drive into nashville and check out the supply store that the ladies here told me about for classes. Thank you ladies for your help.

You can buy Americolors on CC individually or Cakes by Sam has them in a couple different sets. I will never go back to Wilton colors after trying Americolors. They are so much better and last longer.

In case you're still wondering - you don't have to throw them away, just mix in a few drops of glycerine until they're smooth again.

Although, I agree with everyone, I've switched pretty much exclusively to Americolor.
