Collector's Notes
The back dates the portfolio to 1972 and lists 74 original Wilton designs. It shows how broad home cake decorating had become by the early 1970s, from lettering practice to elaborate wedding designs.
The printed list includes Butterfly Cake, Love Cake, Christmas Wreath Cake, zodiac cakes, Little Boy Blue, Halloween Cake, wedding cakes, and Dancing Santas. That variety makes the portfolio useful to both Wilton collectors and decorators interested in older techniques.
This copy is still sealed rather than opened for inspection. That gives the buyer an untouched example, while also meaning the individual sheets cannot be verified without breaking the package.
For someone who remembers learning Wilton decorating from printed patterns rather than a screen, this is the kind of old reference that will look very familiar.
