Awesome! Thanks so much. Would you happen to know how to get champagne color or do you thin that would be considered a light tan?

This may be a dumb question but... Do you think I can use Wilton's paste instead of Chefmaster? They don't sell that around here. Thanks.

I too am in the same boat as twooten. Can Wilton be used with these charts?
