Hello all!
I've used Wilton food writers, and love them. I use them for my cookies, cakes, etc. The only color I have a problem with is the BLACK MARKER!!! UGH!!!!
After a day or so, it starts to turn a greenish black color!
Can anyone recommend another good food writer?

I've heard the Gourmet writers from Americolor are great! I want to get some. CC sells them but they're out of stock.

I also have had the same problem. I use black piping gel and haven't had a problem with it, yet!

We use FooDooders and Betty Crooker Easy Writers for my grand daughters birthday party, for the kids to decorate their cookies, they worked really well.


Hope this helps you out.

i got some blank markers that you fill yourself, i use airbrush color, and black will turn greenish, but with these ones you can top them up when needed.

Americolor food writer are the best I've used. I used some that I opened over a year ago and they were still very vibrant!

Gourmet food writers (americolor) Fine tips, clean writing, and don't stop up like the others do. I would post the link I use but I don't want to take away business from Heath and Jackie. thumbs_up.gif

I have ones that say Kopykake on the side and I don't like them. They have two ends but the bolder tip hardly works on any color. And the colors don't match the lids at all, much lighter. I'm getting Americolor ones today!

thank you all! I saw Heaths post, so I'll order some today. Like I said, I like the Wilton ones, because they have the fine point, and all have pretty much worked for me, except the black one. I need to try the Americolor since ya'll have given it such rave reviews!
Thank you again!
