For Once, Not A Wilton Bashing!

I have one medium Wilton icing spatula, and one small. Used them for years. Recently I bought spatulas of another well-known brand, in three sizes. I expected the new ones to be of better quality than the Wilton, although I found no flaws in the Wilton spatulas.
As I was ganaching my cake with a new spatula and trying to get straight sides (can't use a bench scraper to save my own sorry neck...), I kept getting an outward bulge in the middle. When I with no purpose grabbed the Wilton and used it, things straightened right out. I checked all the spatulas... the new ones all had a slight bow to the blade, but the Wilton spatulas were flat and true.
Who knew? I will be getting more Wilton spatulas to replace the new ones. Just thought I'd give credit where it's due, since we bash Wilton products so regularly (self included in "we").
I love Wilton products. The only thing I do not like is the taste of their fondant, it rolls better than any other and gives a wonderful smooth finish, better than any other brand I have tried so far but it tastes awful. Too bad, I would use it all the time otherwise.
I agree it is easy to work with, but the taste is awful. Has anyone flavoured it? Does that help disquise the funny taste?
i,ve read on here... that some people mix their wilton fondant. with chocolate clay. i need to try that.. i think earlene moore... suggests using the oil flavorings.. have to try that also.. i agree. it is really good to work with. much better than some of the other brands.. like satin ice...

thanks, I'll have to try that, I have some hearts drying right now, but will try with next batch
When I was at the OSSAS I tasted the fondirific and it was wonderful and they were rolling it out with cornstarch or powdered sugar... I bought some and cant wait to use it! But wilton has some ok products although I think they sometimes need to do more to pick their instructors.
I mixed the Wilton fondant with chocolate candy clay once, it was yummy! There weren't any flavors in the wilton to get in the way of the chocolate flavor.
