i am still discovering all the wonderful products available for decorating cakes. in reading these forums i see americolor mentioned a lot.. icing colors, food writers, etc. Can someone tell me about them? is there a website for them (I am in Alaska, not a lot of options for shopping up here.. it's all got to be shipped in!), are they really better than wilton? would just love some input from folks who have used them. Thanks! Kitty

You can buy Americolors from the "shop" section of this website - they post internationally.
I haven't used Wilton before but IMO the Americolors are good.

Much better than Wilton! You don't need to use as much and they are in squeeze bottles as opposed to getting the gel out with toothpicks. I am a huge convert! icon_lol.gif

I am definitely a americolor fan. And CC has them for sale at the best price I have found anywhere. Plus they ship internationally =)

Hope you have the chance to try them.

Definitely Americolor---do not have to use as much as Wilton and they do not alter the flavor of your frosting.

I had always used Wilton until about 3 mo ago. Saw Americolor on sale and had read a few posts about it on here so I tried it. I love it. Like Missyek, I like not having to use the toothpick--just squeeze it out. Will take a little practice with it to learn how much to use.

Just be warned---LESS IS MORE!! Seriously, I had a triple recipe of bc that I wanted a tinge of teal in. I put in TWO drops and it was WAY darker than I had hoped it would be.

I tried to lighten it with the white but to no avail.

I love them, though!
