1977 The Wilton Method of Cake Decorating Course, Softcover. Measures about 8.5" by 11". Good condition. Has writing on the inside cover. Shows a little age.
This 1977 edition of "The Wilton Method of Cake Decorating Course" is an essential primary resource for anyone interested in the history of American sugar craft. Spanning a classic instruction format, this manual was the backbone of the "Course 1" curriculum that taught generations of bakers the fundamentals of buttercream and royal icing. The book is filled with detailed, step-by-step photography demonstrating the "Star Tip" and "Round Tip" techniques, as well as the construction of the signature Wilton rose. The visual style is quintessential 1970s, featuring the pastel palettes and elaborate floral sprays that defined the era's celebratory aesthetic.
This copy is in good vintage condition, retaining its bright cover art and structural integrity. It does feature a previous owner's inscription on the inside cover, which serves as a charming nod to its history as a used classroom text "back in the day." While the pages show a light patina from age, the instructions and diagrams remain perfectly clear and usable. This volume is an ideal addition to a collection of vintage cookbooks or a display of mid-century kitchenalia. It fits beautifully within a Kitsch or Grandmillennial kitchen setup, offering both a nostalgic look at 20th-century hobbies and a practical guide to timeless decorating skills.
