I use Wilton "Food Writers" to write on Fondant, and it works great. I'm not sure if you are talking about the same product. Mine are edible markers.

I agree with LittleLinda- they are great...I don't think my edible markers are made by Wilton (not that it matters), but they are one of my favorite items! I have used them alot recently. They are great for detail work, writing, etc. I have them in a set of 8 colors I think and have used every one.

The Icing Writers are something different than the edible food markers. I have the food markers and have used them and really like them. I also have icing writers I haven't used.... Not sure what to use them for?

I've tried to use them before. You use them to write. Not on fondant, the icing in them is made of fondant. That's the #1 ingredient. I hate it. It's misleading

Thanks for the input. I tried it tonight. I traced a logo on o wax paper with it. I did about 5. I hope I can get one of without cracking it. The next problrm will be figuring out how to atach it. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love the input.

I used the Wilton White Fondent Icing Writer to make the pinstripes on a Jack Skellington cake I made for my wife's birthday tomorrow.

I thought it did pretty good although it was a little runnier that expected. That made up and down stripes a little hard to do because it ran. But it did clean up easily. It also dried pretty quick. Makes an excellent fondant glue... i used it to attach my neck on Jack. I put this directly on MM fondent without any problems... stuck down and didn't ruin any part of the fondent at all.

Hope that helps you! And remember, if I did say something dumb... it's only my 3rd cake and I'm still learning. Reading help from others like you all is how I am learning, so thank you very much.

Oh yeah, and I just put a pictures in my gallery of the cake! I'll put more in tomorrow!

I have used the Wilton fondant Icing Writer several times now & I really love the flexibility in it's uses. I have used it to make the dots on some ladybugs (yellow cake in my gallery), the centers of some fondant blossoms(green grass cupcakes & yellow cake in gallery) & recently started using it to trace scroll work on top of a cake board. It gives it a nice 3D look. I'm a big fan of it icon_smile.gif
