I like the fact that you don't need toothpicks! And Americolor Super Red is the best red. But I DO like the thicker consistancy of the Wilton gels for light colors.
Melted Wilton candy melts worked good for me. I covered a RKT sailboat with the chocolate with a brush, put it in the freezer for a few minutes, then used a microplane grater to shave off any irregularities. Turned out great.
I thought I was the only one on here from WI. So happy I'm not. DivaLori and SuzyNoQ, It would help if you would put your home state in your profile under location so all of us Wisconsinites can recognize each other and maybe help each...
