Wilton Decorator Preferred Cake Decorating Tool Caddy

Pricey but worth it! This was great for holding all the tips I got in a set when I started baking cakes for different events. Plenty of room for additional tips as I get them. Ease to use and remove the top. Great for new bakers that don’t have a lot to store and is a heavy duty plastic that’s easy to wipe off.

I like that this keeps tips upright and easy to grab. I store the box on its side to save on storage space, and when I pull the box out the tips are always upright. What I do not like is the case is ridiculously difficult to open, it's a real struggle. Also, there is a groove around the inside edge at the bottom. I’m working with frosting here, and it gets everywhere. The picture I shared shows yellow frosting stuck in that groove (bottom left and right corners). The only way to thoroughly clean this is to dump all the tips out, clean the case, then put them back in one by one (yes I like things organized, it’s an organizer…). And as long as I’m making wishes, I wish there were a way to number the nubs, so that when I have to put all my tips back it would go faster. That said, this is the best product for tip storage out there, and I would never for a minute think to buy or recommend any other brand.

I really love my tool caddy! It’s very large and fits almost everything I need to decorate cakes. It is very easy to clean, durable and sturdy. I like that there are different compartments and a special area for piping tips. I wish that it came with some small, removable dividers though, as right now I need to keep my small piping accessories in separate ziploc bags or little containers to keep them separate. The price is also too high. I found it for almost 1/2 the price at Target (at its regular price, meaning it wasn’t on sale), but it was too late to return it.

My baking and decorating cabinet was getting a bit out of control. A box of tips, a box of gel food coloring, a dozen other bottles of food coloring, several loose squeeze bottles... You get the picture. I would open the baking cabinet, and something (usually small) would fall out every time. I deliberated which Wilton tool caddy to get, since I'm sure my tool collection will continue to increase, but I figured this one would fit into my cabinet (it does!) and wouldn't be rendered obsolete if I ever go for the big one.To describe this case as "the size of a shoe box" does it a disservice. The lower portion is about that size, but then there's the entire top section (for tips and other small items). It's more like the vintage train case where I store my makeup than anything else. If you've never seen one of those in person, think large tackle box or tool box.The dividers in the bottom section are easily re-arranged into whatever configuration you need, or you can remove them entirely. I don't own any large tips, so all of mine fit in the designated section; they can't wobble or fall out of their spots. If you own more than a couple of tools, this case is a great investment. I thought I owned a lot, but it's still pretty far from full. Between this and appropriating a Christmas ornament organizer box for my cookie cutter collection, my baking cabinet is quite tidy and no longer a danger. Well worth the money, and if I ever upgrade I can see this still being in good enough condition to pass on to a friend.

this held a ton of stuff from all my brushes and implements to my smaller tips couplers bags spray glitter.. absolutely hangs of items got organized. Now I have space in my cabinets and don't have to search through all the little boxes I had before. That said: the sort of domed top should be more domed to allow space for larger tips to be stored vertically. I have several large Wilton tips as well as the Russian ones. It seems like Wilton would try to accommodate their own tips at least. But it's attractive, neatened everything up, and I would think it would be highly giftable. I would have enjoyed getting it as a gift. I think this is superior to the larger one that has drawers that can fall out. I probably could even use two of these, but I decided to keep my food coloring in smaller plastic bins. I'm unsure of the sturdiness. I will probably support the bottom when I lift it with the handle. Slides into my cabinet and looks nice and I'm able to lift out and separate the sections and I'm just stunned by how much it holds. It is very much like some of the plastic organizers that stack, but I didn't want clear, and it does have particular cubby holes for specific things. I do think the price could be less. I had rewards to use so that's why I went ahead with the purchase. But I think, given what it's made of and the way that it closes with the snaps on the ends, I think it should cost about 40% less than what Wilton has set the price to. But I'm still happy that I bought it and I do recommend it. I feel very organized.

I bought one of these and it's almost full, so I'm going to order another. It holds 20 Wilton gel/paste canisters of either half oz. or one ounce size. If you push the half ounce jars down snugly, they will hold in their places. They won't spill out if the box is tuned up side down or sideways. The lid snaps on as long as you don't try to snap it on when the lid is on incorrectly. With the toothpic section at the top, place the lid so that the word "Wilton" is also at the top. In other words, thinking of the left side as "West" and the right side as "East", the toothpic section would be in the "North" position, and then the lid should be placed on top of the box so that the word "Wilton" is right side up. Then it snaps shut every time.The lid won't fit if you try to put it on upside down or sideways.Also, it can only hold 20 gel/paste jars.You can fit a one ounce jar into one of the spaces, but you can't stack two half-ounce jars into one space. The box isn't tall enough for that. I like being able to see each jar lid without having to handle each jar looking for a specific color like I would have to do if I just threw everytthing into a "zip lock bag"!

Perfect gift for any baker.
