I have some not so good wilton food color pens that I wouldn't use on anything but cookies for my nephew. Does anyone have any suggestions on good food color writers for small writing details? I'm no good using a thin paintbrush and food color so I really could use pens.

Hi, what about mixing up a small amount of butter cream, color very black with black powder, then add small amount of clear gel for a little gloss and pipe on with small tip? I do use nontoxic felt tip pens on my royal icing drawings, but not sure about fondent... azure

I Love the Americolor ones!! I used a set a year after I'd opened them and they were still wet and vivid!

I've just bought the Aetco ones from www.goldaskitchen.com (Canadian). I haven't had a chance to use them yet though, but I heard the Wilton ones were bad and these were the only other option!

My vote is also for the Gourmet Writer from Americolor. They work great!
