Collector's Notes
Wilton's Celebrate publications paired finished cake ideas with working patterns decorators could transfer directly onto cakes, cookies, gum paste, marzipan, and other confectionery projects.
This pattern folder suits a Wilton collector as well as a decorator interested in the elaborate piping, Color Flow, lace, holiday, and special occasion work popular during the 1970s.
The untouched factory sealed condition is the feature that sets this copy apart from the loose and heavily handled pattern sets that often survive.
It is the sort of reference that works equally well in a Wilton collection or back at the decorating table.
