Has Anyone Used Wilton's New Glitter Gels?

They are essentially sparkly piping gel. I haven't used them myself, but they look really interesting, and they are flying off the shelves at the Michaels where I work! I noticed them when we first got them on a Saturday morning, and by Saturday afternoon, they were all gone but for one! I think they'd look fantastic on white buttercream.
Anyone else actually used them?
They sound really cool! I've never heard of them but would like to try them. I'd also like to hear if anyone has tried them and what your experiences were. 
I did use the blue sparkly gel in my graduation cake ... in the picture its hard to see the sparkles but in person it was very pretty .. gave it that extra touch ..
I thought they were just lustre dusts. I saw 6 new colors, mostly heavy metals and pearls. Is this the same product or are you speaking of something different?
I just used the blue glitter gel as water on my flip-flop cake. I should've used more - I loved it! It was very pretty and not see-through so I didn't have to worry about the pink fondant showing through. I will buy more colors and think of ways to use them...

Anyone wanting to see them in action look at MacsMom's cake she has lovely pics of it close up and you can it really well! Lovely cake by the way, you figures are awesome!
Beautiful cake!!! And I love love LOVE the sparkliness!!!!! (is that a word lol) They are a must have! I wonder if my local store will carry them... they are always MONTHS behind on new items.. maybe I can grab em from my ebay supplier 
Thanks for the heads up!
Great views of it on your cake Macsmom, thanks for pointing that out. Great use of it too, really cute cake! I haven't seen them yet, I will have to keep my eye out for them they are really cool.
thanks for the compliments every one ... and yes it does come in a tube and it seemed to work much better for me personally then say writing with a regular disposable bag because I tend to have a hard time getting my letters to stop where I want them too and with this tube all I did was let up on the pressure and the gel was almost "sucked" back up! I have it in blue, yellow, and red .... sure would be nice if more colors became available!!

Nope, these are a different product. What you saw were the new Wilton pearl dusts (about time, too!) and they are just like luster dust.
The sparkle gels come in tubes and they are like piping gel, but with sparkles. In our store, they are hanging near the silicone cupcake liners and other cupcake supplies. Four colours, I think, blue, red, yellow, and green.
Definitely in my future...
ps - beautiful cake, Cakerator!
