Newbie here...class 1...

It can be only for one item. I used first one on 50 pc caddy. Most of my other stuff was not higher ticket items. Plan on continuing in the courses.... what do you suggest I get that I will use even if down the road.... Don't want to waste on small item.

I have used mine on disposable bags reg $19.99, thats a good buy. I have also purchased fondant stuff. Like the mat/roller and the sets to cut and decorate the fondant for the cakes. I have purchase so many things with the coupons that i'm running out of things to buy, and I have (3) 50% coupons for this friday/saturday.

I can't help with what to buy but I would recommend NOT getting the tilting turntable. It seems like a good idea but I have read too many disasters. Also there was a thread a little while ago of things people didn't think was worth the money. You might want to search for it so you can spend your money wisely.

I used the coupon for the cakes-n-more stand and to buy the student kit for the class.

I've used mine recently on a decorating book (originally $19.99), as well as cookie cutter sets. Use it on whatever you want, but don't want to pay full price for! Look outside the cake decorating items, too. Sometimes you might want a special tray or mirror to display your cake, for instance.

Hey Jopalis,
You said that used one for a 50 piece caddy. I know when I started taking the Wilton Courses I used my 50% of for the 101 Piece Professional Cake Decorating Kit. It runs $129.00 reqular priced and I have not had any regrets about getting it.

After buying all the tip. bags ect that I needed for class. I decided to start collecting pans. I started buying the wedding sets of pans that run around fourty dollars. ( so far its been a good idea since all my cake making centers around those shapes =) )

I would use it on the 101 piece set (too bad you bought the 50 piece). I have not had any regrets either.

I'm planning on buying the 3 in. deep circle pan set. It's $35.99. For next week, I plan on buying the large ($21.99) cake slicer? Is that what it's called? Lol. But yeah.

I'm so sad though. . .I'm running out of things to purchase for cake decorating! icon_cry.gif

They usually come in the mail. Before, they'd have them AT the store, but keyword being "before".

I think that the large box of decorating bags is always a great idea to use the 50% coupon. Cake pans are also good. I use those coupons on anything I don't want to pay regular price for. I love all of the new stuff Wilton is coming out with to help you decorate with fondant.

Have fun shopping at Michael's. I'll be there tomorrow as well.
