Wilton Cake Class 2 Question
Decorating By pumpkin112 Updated 30 Jan 2009 , 6:53am by Carolynlovescake
I am new to this, I am starting the wilton cake class 2 and wanted to know if I should purchase the class kit or purchase the master tips. I have coupons that would make them half off. I get this alot of these coupons and could buy the stuff as I need it. I will take the next series o classes also and I just want to buy what makes the most money sense
I always recommend buying the kit, particularly for Course 2 since you will need the oval pan set. The master tip kit comes with a lot of tips that I find students will rarely or never use.

I think I might just get the tips because I don't think I will ever use the pans again either> Our instructor said the choice is mine
I would get the kit. You should be able to use a 40% or 50% off coupon and get it at Michaels or AC Moore. The kit also has the flower formers that you will need to let your flowers dry.
My instructor said to purchase the kit because you can't purchase the oval pan separately. I don't know if that is still true, and there is always ebay if decide you want an oval pan. I love my pans and use them quite a bit. I actually am getting rid of my wilton tips and starting to replace them the brand my cake store carries (and I believe global sugar art also. I like the atco brand better than my wilton ones.) It's definitely a matter of opinion and what you will think you will end up using in the long run.
Happy Baking!
What happens if you do the final cake with pans that you already own? Will it go down on your permanent record? Make you red-shirt your freshman year at Cake College? Maybe the Fondant coach will rethink offering you a full-ride scholarship?
If you don't buy the kit you have to repeat the course. hahaha

Very funny... when I took the course 2, the "kit" did not have pans so you were not required to work with such an odd shape. And we students ended up buying more tips (various sizes) anyway. So what did I do? Use the hex shape (I fell in love with the versatility from the very start.)
As a WMI I'd suggest buying the kit. I'm not sure what all tips come in the master's set, but if you go that route I'd check to see if what is used in C2 is in there.
As was mentioned the kit comes with two cake pans (have used them many times, it is a great one mix between the two, small family size cake), the flower formers and a packet of color flow.
I think you will find yourself spending more money buying the master's kit, the flower formers and the color flow mix, than you would just to buy the kit.
I have the master's tip set, as well as the smaller one, and they come with alot of times I just never use. It doesn't mean that you won't find uses for them, they just aren't all tips you'd use alot of. I always tell my students instead of trying to buy all the different tips that are out there, I find it more helpful to spend the money on mutiplies on tips you use all the time.

You didn't know... you don't get your course certificate! (I am so totally joking).
I tell my students they can do a cake from their own pans. You just have to make a template to section it off and that's what a 5 minutes process at the most.
I say get the kit. Those pans make great foot balls, wonderful easter eggs and when I need a small cake those are perfect and there is always the comment "I love that shape!"
