Wilton W4061075 Decorate Smart Deluxe Practice Board Set

compact. all in one with useful designs to aide in decorating for cakes.

I am a Wilton certified cake instructor and i teach at Michael's. This board really helps my struggling students. The large print helps them learn angles and movement so much faster.

Every day my decorating gets better and better with this practice board. I simply love it. Having the tool that shows what angle to hold your bag is a wonderful help.

I have had the Practice Board for about 2 weeks. It motivates me to practice.

got this the other day and love it. I'm new to all the baking and cake decor but this help me a lot , i would always wonder how ppl did this all . love this board and come with different patterns ... love it great for us staters ....i hope everyone else likes the use of it btw it can get a lil messy but its really easy to clean up . i just use a wet towel and its good to go

I am a Wilton Instructor and one of my students who is beginnning course 2 just purchased this newly offered product. His words were," Il love this kit. It is great!" He commented how wonderful the case design is by allowing you to place your practice sheet under the clear outer cover and how you can practice your skills at different angles. Being able to practice at different angles is important because if you want to pipe something on the side of a cake you will have the confidence of doing it correctly having mastered the technique ahead of time. I also like the variety of piping techniques included in the kit which helps people gain confidence in many different techniques which are not gone over in the beginning classes due to time constraints. By taking a Wilton class and learning the basics of icing consistency, pressure control and correct bag position, this product will help students go to the next level in cake decorating. Great new product.

I was very happy I got this practice board. It has many more designs to learn other than what is in the class kit 1&2. This board has a nice large area to practice on. The only issue I have is with the clear cove on top ( the practice area). I sometimes have trouble removing it from the holder frame. Other than that, no problems. The board adjusts to different angles to help simulate decorating on the side of a cake. There is a large practice area; I really like this feature. All the practice sheets store inside a notebook-like storage area which closes up and latches securely for storage. The whole practice board is only about an inch thick and has rounded corners. I store mine on its edge like a book between some of my other Wilton supplies. You could also store it flat if you chose to. I think this is a helpful tool to practice and improve icing decorating techniques.

03/05/2013 I like this set. Honestly a laminator and printed patterns works just as well but I like that I can store the sheets. I'm still laminating my sheets bc icing will get in under the plastic practice board when you wipe it off, staining the sheets.

It's a great idea. The practice sheet shows you a picture, gives you bag position and what tip to use. Some of the techniques need further explaining, so unless they are here on Wilton.com the consumer is left to figure it out on their own. But the overall design is great, and the product appears to be durable ( time will tell)

I was very excited to buy this because I wanted to practice everything I learned in the Wilton Master course. I found that being able to tilt and move the board to be very helpfull and having the practice sheet all stored inside was a plus. The only thing I think would be an improvement is for Wilton to laminate the sheets. When cleaning the board water and icing would get into the seams and some of the sheets would get water on them. I took mine and had them laminated. All in all it is the perfect way to keep in practice . I would recomend this product to everyone.I do love it!!!
