WILTON HAS THE PANS, THE COOKIE AND CAKE MOULDS, THE ICINGS, THE GELS, THE SPRINKLES, THE DECORATING TOOLS. EVEN THE NEW COOKIE PRO COOKIE PRESS. TALK ABOUT ONESTOP SHOPPING!

RECENTLY, MY LITTLE COUSIN CAME TO VISIT AND IMMEDIATELY ASKED WHERE WERE THE "HAPPY TUBES." I WAS PUZZLED. THEN, SHE CLIMBED UP THE STEP-STOOL, OPENED THE KITCHEN CABINET DOOR AND POINTED TO MY SUPPLY OF WILTON CAKE ICINGS AND GELS. HAPPY TUBES, INDEED! 

SHE HAD FUN HELPING ME MAKE GINGER CRISPY KIDS. USING THE TRADITIONAL RECIPE OF MARGARINE, MARSHMALLOWS, AND CRISP RICE CEREAL, WE ADDED PUMPKIN PIE SPICE AND CINNAMON. WE CUT OUT FIGURES WITH WILTON'S METAL GINGERBREAD BOY AND GIRL CUTTERS, THEN PLACED THEM ON WAXED PAPER SO THEY DIDN'T STICK.

WE USED WILTON'S CANDY MELTS, MINI MARSHMALLOWS, MINI CHOCOLATE CHIPS, RED CINNAMON CANDIES, MINI MINTS AND FRUIT ROLL UPS FOR DECORATING THE GINGER KIDS.

NOW WHEN MAKING GINGERBREAD PLACE CARDS AND
HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS, USE WILTON'S CANDY MELTS OR
ROYAL  ICING WHICH DRIED HARD.

AFTER TASTING SOME OF OUR CREATIONS, MY LITTLE COUSIN TURNED TO ME AND SAID, "GEE, YOU'RE SO SMART."
