Decorating By TiffTurtle Updated 3 Nov 2006 , 11:43pm by 7yyrt
i hate them!!! i went looking for food writer...all i could find were the BC ones...they have a soft flexible tip 
you ( or at least i ) cant get a straight line with them....i raeally dont see the point in them since they are like that!! are all food writers like that? i know that there are other kinds out there but i live in nowhere nowhere so i cant find them. i guess imma have to get some off the net...whats the best kind to get? you know some that write more like a marker? you would have thought thats how these would have been but noooooooo...stupid!
oh yeah......they stink stink stink.......I have them too!!!!Wilton sells them...do you have anywhere to get Wilton supplies....theirs are okay........I think the americolor ones are the ones I've heard the best things about!! I have some kopykake ones I got from ebay and they work REALLY well but they're kinda dried out.....by REALLY well....i mean the tip is super nice....broad on one edge and thin on the other.....kinda shaped like a calligraphy pen tip, one edge fat, one edge thin. If mine weren't dried out they'd be awesome
here are photos I have using the different brands

I have to go over all of the black using wilton gels and a toothpick.....those markers stink. ( I do use them to write on my son 's sandwiches for school lunch though and they work "ok" for that....not good for detailed work though

these heart cookies were done with the kopykake markers....I had to go over the names 3 times to get them this dark (because mine were dry)

these baby shower cookies were done with the wilton fine tip markers......even though it was a fine tip....you can see it's still not THAT fine of a line...but they worked nicely and didn't bleed all over and weren't dry.....I would use them again......but again, not the finest of lines
Hope this helps you some
KAYH:
Your cookies are REALLY very PRETTY!!!
WOW!!
And I love the idea of giving all the children's names on them! 
Now if we just didn't have those nasty new rules in the schools where they won't let anyone bring in TREATS!!! 
But I just wanted to let you know I loved your work on those.

knoxcop1,
I was so saddened to see you say "no treats" in schools.
My kids are now out of elementary school, but heard from others here in Michigan that that is the way things are following now.
I'm so glad I was able to have full run while my kids were young in school. I'd be so bored with parties now if it was all too healthy. That is IF they even allow parties anymore!
Tiffturtle,
Americolors writers are excellent. I had a set that I opened over a year ago and used them again 2 weeks ago and they were fine. Lots of color, not dried up at all. Plus the tips are easy to work with. I know you can get them at www.countrykitchensa.com at a good price. (I haven't seen them here on CC yet though 
).

thanks yall..imma have to get the americolor ones... sounds like they are what i need.
and no treats in school...omg , i have already taken stuff to school like 4 times this year....lol...after the first time i took stuff in sept for my lil girls birthday at least one of the kids ask me everyday when im bringing them something else. I love it...it makes it all worth it to see kids get so happy over such simple stuff...but i tell you ..it broke my heart when i had a little boy tell me..this is great, my mom never makes anything like this for me...it was just cupcakes..how can you never make stuff like that for your kids...ahhh
any way...thanks yall for the advice.
TiffTurtle, it's not a new thing.
I can remember all the time I was growing up there were kids in the places we lived who would come over and just GRAB for burnt and broken pastries and cakes that WE wouldn't touch. Their moms didn't ever bake for them either (something I cannot fathom) so even those were special to them... very sad.
