    Photo Ways To Use Wilton Edible Color Markers

         I like to use Wilton edible color markers to draw on foods, mostly drawing faces on fruits or custom messages on food, for example, cinnamon sticks for cocktails. Markers are designed to be used for food items and are safe to use for food decor. Especially important to use FoodWriters for food that we garnish for kids. Children like to try everything, and sometimes we don’t expect them to put it in their mouth garnish but it ends up there. Every mom knows! So, better even if we decorate the skin of an orange with food-safe markers. Of course, we can find other food-safe markers on the market, but I am sharing what I use and know.

       The markers are inexpensive, and I bought them at the local Walmart store and another set at the HobbyLobby store. I have Wilton edible markers in 5 different colors and a package of 2 black markers. The package of 2 black markers has different tips. One is a bold tip, and another is a fine tip. The package of Wilton colorful markers has fine tips.

How To Use Wilton Food Writer

1. Make sure to wipe the tip with a paper towel after each use to remove any food residue.

2. When using Wilton markers around beverages, ensure the surface stays dry, like when writing on cinnamon sticks, for example. The edible ink is water-soluble.

3. Avoid using the markers on acidic surfaces, as this can damage or discolor the tip.
