Wow! I can only say to hit the Wilton website and start listing the "if I bought it new" price next to each one and see what it totals.

But would you buy all that new? Really, are you going to use all those pan shapes (and if you are, are you going to use Wilton or something better for the ones you use most)? All those miscellaneous pillars? The letter presses?

The list looks to me like someone bought too much Wilton, not the supplies of an actual cake business.

That's funny, I think I was interested in the same set =). Springfield??? I decided against it because I think I would rather collect the things I want to buy. Besides you can start out slow(and use Michael's coupons =). Maybe it is a good deal to you, but I just don't think it is for me.

Is not a bad deal for the money, but it has things you might never use. You know by now what you already use. most probably you already have it. Cake stuff can create a lot of clutter, will you really use the projector? is a big piece...a don't know, seems to me that for $1000 you can get fewer things but newer in stile and more useful to you.
