I purchased some Betty Crocker Food Writers and they were awful. I tried to write on RBC and they would not work at all. What is your favorite marker? Was my problem the RBC? Do marker works on it or do I need to do RI. I really love the RBC and would love to do some cookies using edible markers.

I have only used edible markers once and didnt have must success.

The food writer pens I use are - Giotto Turbo Color. They cost me only A$4.95 (approx USD3.50) and they work very well on RI and fondant. I iced some cookies in RI and gave them to my 8yo DD to decorate and these were what she created.

I use them quite a lot. I find if you keep them in the fridge that helps too. I

BarbaraK--The drawings are adorable. I love kid's artwork! Where can I purchase these markers? I did a google and nothing came up.

I've used the Wilton pens with NO success....do NOT buy them!

I first used the "food doodlers" which were not good at all and then I purchased the "gourmet writers". They have a finer point, but I don't like the look a get with the pens.

I can't find the topic on here but withen the last week someone else brought this topic up. If I remember correctly there were quite a few people that were happy with the Americolor pens (check out the store here on Cake Central)

I have Americolor Gourmet Writers. They work great, best I've tried.

Americolor Rocks!!!!!

I don't think edilble markers will work on RBC because it is too soft and doesn't really harden enough.

You usually can't write with the edible food markers on a greasy surface - I usually use the Wilton fine point ones - and I have great success with them - but get them anywhere near grease and they stop working.

Ihyes1976 - I purchased them from my local cake decorating shop here in Melbourne. They are probably not available in the US as Wilton seems to be the dominant brand there.

i love the americolor - Gourmet Writer. The tips are really fine.

Has anyone come across some food coloring pens with a braod tip....kinda like the caligraphy pens? Or a brush like tip?

I use the wilton fine tip, and have no problems. I haven't tried any others, so I have nothing to compare with.

I too would like caligraphy pens for writing on cookies. I wonder...
