Master Your Decorating Skills with New Tasty by Wilton Kits

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilton and Tasty today released its first assortment of kits to help consumers learn fun, new, creative skills in cookie decorating, cake decorating, candy making and more. This partnership brings together two brands that share a passion for educating consumers and helping them create amazing things in the kitchen. The Tasty by Wilton product line introduces consumers to a variety of decorating projects that are as achievable as they are impressive.

"Both Tasty and Wilton have a passion for making things accessible, easy, and fun," said Richard Flores, CMO at Wilton. "Our partnership will deliver the best of both brands in amazing new ways to a new generation of decorators."
