Answer 2

Wilton does have lots of cake decorating supplies. I have been making wedding cakes  & special occassion cakes for 20 years. These are the decorating tips I use the most. A writing tube #3, a rose tube #104, a border tube #16 and a leaf tube #349. Start by using just a 9x13 pan you already own. I worked my way up to owning several water fountains, pans of every shape, a dozen or more decorating bags and lots of colors and tips.  I take half of what I charge and put it in a special cake account. The other half is my money to spend as I see if. Whenever I need/want to purchase new items for the cakes, I take the money out of my special cake account to cover the expenses. I wish you lots of happy decorating days ahead
