Wilton 1907-1352 5-Piece Decorating Brush Set

I always use Wilton brushes and decided to treat myself to new ones. I have no problem with Wilton but the brushes were obvious squashed by something which bent them out of shape and made them useless to use, especially the finer ones. This I believe is the fault of Amazon and the way in which they had been stored. Something heavy has been place on top of them and they became bent in the packaging.

Brushes are just the right degree of firmness to paint food colouring on to delicate icing or fondant. Having a choice of brush-ends made it faster and easier. I did ruin one brush when I had to make caramel in an emergency to stick failing decorations back together (I think being so damp here recently!) - brush did the job, though, and sacrificed itself for the greater good!

Being an artist and a painter and decorator by trade, I am critical when it comes to my tools. I have several brushes which have cost me over £20 each from specialist art shops and I tell you what, these are just as good. The bristles are so easy to control, they are really dense, strong, I've had no bristle loss, easy to clean with white spirit or water... and crucially there aren't any stray bristles that are too long or bent in a manner that results in flecks of paint where you don't want them. Plus purple is my favourite colour!

I initially thought this was a bit expensive and bought some cheaper ones which was a big mistake because the hairs came out whilst using them, and especially when washing them (literally had one hair left on one brush). I then bought these and I would definitely recommend them to anyone - the quality is incomparable, the sizes are great, the hairs don't fall out and they are easy to hold and use. Great product!

These have been used for painting pictures on fondant icing, they are excellent value, the varying sizes and shapes of brush make it easy to do all sorts of features. They are used regularly and have remained in good condition. The item arrived quickly and were adequately packaged. Good product, good value.
