Seems like I was reading a thread awhile back about someone looking for the (Angled Coupler) that Wilton used to sell, well I happened to think of it today and e-mailed Wilton because I have been looking for one also. This was there response for anyone interestedicon_smile.gif




Hi Jean,

Thank you for visiting our website.

However, this is a discontinued item and we no longer have it available. There are no plans at this time to bring it back.

Sincerely,

What size were you looking for and what sizes did they discontinue?

The one I have been looking for is a regular coupler but it has a bend or it kinda looks like a elbow shape, I hope this makes senseicon_smile.gif

Sorry, I misread your post, I thought you said angled spatula! Wow, I have never seen an angled coupler, please explain the benefit of the angled coupler (not that I can get one now!)

I think I saw one at one of our local party stores. It has probably been there for years, it's an old store. I might run by tomorrow and see if it is still there.

It is suppose to be so you don't have to hold your bag at a complete 90 degree angle above your cake, so your hands/arms are off to the sides instead of over top. I have two and don't like them i have my comfort zone for decorating and they are not in it. They are just sitting in a drawer collecting dust atm.

I think I also read in the yearbook that they are suppose to be good to get in tight or small places, I'm just a sucker for gadgets. If anyone has one they want to sell let me knowicon_smile.gif

they sold them at Michaels not too long ago. At least I think so. I have at least one that I've had for 10 years or so. I'll check if I happen to have more than one.
