I just got some Wilton tree formers but there were no instructions with them. icon_rolleyes.gif I know Wilton has discontinued them so there's nothing there. I searched on here and only got something about how to make pinecones with them. I already printed that one out. thumbs_up.gif I know it's got to be something really simple, but I don't know exactly where to start with them. icon_cry.gif There are four cones and four sticks. If anyone has instructions for them, will you please share them with me? icon_confused.gif Thanks so much!

In an old Wilton yearbook it says to Pipe tip 16 stripe around base of tree form. Cover with tip 74 rows of leaves (work up from base) HTH

Thanks for the info, JILBRY. That does help, but I hope there are some other things to do with these out there somewhere too, so here goes another plea. Does anyone else have any instructions or things to do with the Wilton tree formers?

Thanks,
Ladymike

Do you have any of the old Wilton Books?

You could use them for forms for fondant or candy for hats or the tops of castles ....

Yes, JILBRY, I have several of the older yearbooks. I guess I should look through them and see what I can find. I was just in hopes that someone had the original instructions for how they were originally supposed to be used - kind of like the instructions for the character pans. They have the original uses and other ideas too. Thanks for your input.

And if you don't have the old tree formers, use the pointy ice cream cones, they work wonderfully! icon_lol.gif

Bob,

Do you have the tree formers? If so, do you have the original instructions for them?

Thanks,
Ladymike

I don't know if I still have them or not. I rarely used them (since discovering that nifty ice cream cone trick...) icon_wink.gif Give me a few minutes and I'll see if I have them and the instructions.

Thanks Bob. I'd just like to know what they were originally supposed to be used for besides trees, and if the trees they are supposed to form are anything other than evergreens/pine trees.

Okay I can't find them, so I probably got rid of them many moons ago... However, I am looking at an ancient Wilton Yearbook (1977) and it says that the trees on this cake on page 95 were done with tip 74 leaves. Other than that I don't know what they were supposed to be used for besides trees. I know I've seen them as the tops of castle cakes though. Hope that helps some! icon_smile.gif

OK. Thanks to Bob and JILBRY for your help. I guess I'll figure out something to do with them. I know they can be used for Calla Lily formers too. I guess I'm looking for more than I'm going to be able to find, if that makes sense. LOL

Thanks again,
Ladymike
