I have never used or seen Americolor, I don't know if anyone here in Canada handles it or not. Many of you rave about it so I want to know why and how it compares to the Wilton colors. I am on Vancouver Island but I do go to Vancouver sometimes, does anyone know if it's available here? ![]()
I love that americolor isn't as messy as the toothpicks and that it has such great colors, but sometimes my Wilton ones are nice becuase I can get just the right amount for little coloring jobs. I often squeeze too much out of the americolor bottles. But I do love them. Their black and red are MUCH easier to get than with Wilton colors!
Sometimes the Wilton colors separate on me. If I got back to a clear pastry bag that had say pink bc in it, the next day there is light pink and dark pink areas. Also when I use it to color royal icing. The color separates. I'm sure I am mixing them together well enough in the beginning too.
Also, I just used Americolor red red for my magic bunny cake, and it came out RED, imagine that. Without that nasty bitter taste that usually comes from using red dyes too. I'm hooked on Americolor!
I ordered a few bottles of Americolor and tried them. Unless they do not have a color that I need as soon as I use up all my Wilton colors(which will take a long time as I have a ton) I will never use anything but Americolor. I like the color and the squeeze bottle. Cheffie ![]()

Thanks everyone. Now to any Canadian that has purchased from CC. Can you give me an example of what the breakdown of costs and shipping, etc. were on the items you ordered? I know the dollar moves around but was wondering what my final cost would be.
I love Americolor too. I find TCDC a better website as they always do there best to get you cheap shipping I use this online shop:
