Wilton Black Icing Tube

Ok, I was a little taken aback by the price, but when I got it in the mail, I discovered I had been sent three tubes. It kind of felt like I won the lottery! So anyway, I made a record player cake for my husband for his birthday and needed black icing. I wanted something easy to use but tasted great. I didn't want to just dye some chocolate icing because it never gets to true black for me. This stuff is BLACK. I really don't want to know how they do it but they do it well. It even tastes good and sweet like it should. It doesn't come with a tip, but you can purchase any sort of tip and use that on this tube as long as you also buy a coupler for it. Or simply squirt it into a plastic bag and snip off a corner and use it that way. I did empty the tube out into a bowl and mixed in a little water to make it go on smoother. It is a thick icing so if you need to ice a cake with it or do detail work you will want to thin it out beforehand. A lot easier than making your own, that's for sure!

Easy to use!

What can you really say about icing? If you aren't making your own, Wilton is clearly the best alternative. Black is tough from scratch unless you want to use chocolate as the base, so this is a standby in my house. It tastes great and is the perfect consistency for decorating. It will turn one's tongue a lovely shade of dark purple, but the color does not seem to stain anything else.

This black icing is just ok. I was making a llama cake for my niece's birthday and had originally planned to use this icing fr the feet. I had to change my plans when I tried to use the icing. It was thick and gummy, yet would stick to nothing. I was using a Wilton size 16 star tip and was just not happy with how the icing worked. When I did use the icing with a Wilton size 2 tip, it actually did ok and I was able to pipe several fine lines, but the lines still looked a little greasy.

We decorated Halloween treats in my Preschool class. It worked well, except for the tip was a little bigger than I thought it would be so we had to be extra careful. Other than that, it worked well.

Soft, easy to use and it tastes good

Just what I needed for a cake.

The color was perfect, but if I could have found black food coloring I would never have attempted to use this gook. Even if you must have the color, the texture of this icing makes it impossible to work with, especially using the wilton icing tip set that adapts to this icing.

Un super glaçage mais une étoile en moins car l’embout pour dessiner n’est pas avec , donc pas évident à appliquer , dommage

Wonderful will need to order more in the future

Great icing. Too bad it doesn't come with a tip.

Nightmare to use, - invest in the top to go with or buy your own

Quite a lot of icing in it.
