Okay, what's the secret? WHY won't these work for me? I just bought a package yesterday to use to make faces on my bunny cookies. Just for practice and I wanted to make a new cookie recipe and the darn things won't write!!! icon_mad.gif Very irritating!

Anyone know the secret to using these? If not, my bunnies will be faceless. I did have some extra RI so they do have pink noses and pink ears. But I ran out and can't finish the faces.

Oh well, my family won't mind. They are just going to eat them! But if anyone knows why these won't work, I would be curious to know.

Thanks!!

i don't know why but these are a piece of junk. I bought them one time and they didn't work for me. Now i just use icing to do the writing etc.

The Wilton ones do not work well at all, tried it 3 times, I guess, I need to see it not work a couple of times before believing it. Americolors are a lot better. Just get a fine paintbrush and paint the faces on with diluted colours

They don't work well at all, but they don't work on RBC because RBC is too greasy...I tried! I bought Americolor and they are much better, but still RBC is too greasy....and RBC is my favorite..I tried freezing my RBC cutouts then trying the markers, it is a little better...
I would love to find somthing that works better on RBC.

I have never used the wilton brand, but I have used another brand and sometimes they dry out/clog up. Dip in warm water and wipe off with a paer towel and see if that helps to get the color to flow again.

I wonder if I saved the receipt... icon_confused.gif because I think they are going back to the store. $7.99 is a bit much for something that doesn't work. thumbsdown.gif

I used them Thursday and they sucked big time. I don't like Wilton products.

They went right back to the store and a credit right back on my credit card yesterday. I will never buy them again.
