I hear peeps using Wilton colors to paint cakes. I went to Michaels today and i didnt see anything that was for painting other than some Wilton edible writers. Is there a certain name for it?

No, it's just the regular gel colorings, of any brand! You can thin them down to get lighter/gentler colors with a clear alcohol (gin, vodka etc), or a clear extract. When I want black I use Americolor black and don't thin it with anything - then it's BLACK lol (see my last cake in my gallery for an example of that!). If you get a cheap plastic painter's pallet with little wells in it, that's really useful for mixing your colors with the alcohol/extract - if you have the melting tray thing for candy melts, that will work just as well too - hope that helps!
