I think theres a HUGE difference between the A74's RI and Wilton - I used the Wiltons recipe for ages UNTIL I tried Antonia's - I will NEVER go back!! I ONLY use Tobas when I want it to stay nice and shiney - but IMO there is nothing better than Antonia's!!

I dont remember what the Wilton recipe is - for I have been making A74 for awhile now ... but that sounds right ... but the consistancy is very different (its kinda velvety) , it pipes sooooooo much better!!!! Try it at least once and you'll be hooked on the texture (for lack of a better term) I dont flavor mine like she does .. I add butter & vanilla flavoring at the very end of the mixing time .. makes it taste kinda like Buttercream ... very yummy!
Tobas glaze doesnt dry "hard" like RI BUT it dries hard where you can stack or bag!! Just like royal icing (no smudging or anything) .. It taste great too! I flavor mine the same as I do the RI ..
I buy my bags at Wally World just coz they're cheaper =} Ive seen where you can buy in bulk online but for as many as I need, I just pick them up there then theres no shipping!
Hope all this helps!
Good Luck

They are with the party stuff - colored plates/tablecloths/pinata's AND on the cake decorating isle ... which in my store is just across the isle ... they have all sizes .. colors etc. I just use the clear .. and I believe there is 25 or 50 packs. Sorry cant remember the price but they are cheaper than Michaels

Yep - its one big bag (2lbs) then about another cup - I *think* thats right anyways 
Im not sure about different .. maybe the way you mix it together .. With the wilton - I didnt mix the water and meringue .. then add the cream of tarter .. and didnt mix it on slow for the 10 mins - I think all that is a bit diff. I really cant remember, sorry.
It does come out kinda thick, but not as thick as the Wiltons did ... Antonia suggest adding (dont quote me on this!) 1/4c warm water to the whole amt after its done, to get the correct consistincy for piping (?) but I dont do that - I use it as is for my outlines then thin only what I need for flooding ... I would suggest just adding a little water till you get what YOU like!!
And BTW: this makes a large amt. If you dodnt use all of it, you can store any UNcolored icing covered on your counter for weeks and weeks .. you can also freeze it
Thats what I do .. let thaw in fridge, then let come to room temp b4 using ... just whip it again in your mixer 5-10 mins ...
HTH!
