Customer Review: Great Starter Set
Summary: 5 Stars
For someone just starting out, this is a perfect tool. You get several tips, bags, some stencils, and the holder. I loved it so much and had a great time using it, that I am now signing up to take decorating class. Perfect for someone who has little or no experience.Customer Review: Betty Crocker 100 Piece Cake Decorating Kit Review

Summary: 4 Stars
I picked this kit up at Target and recognized some of the pieces from when I took a cake decorating class a few years ago. The stencils and the 3 profile icing knife, plus the storage case make the set worth the money spent. I liked the icing bag... it didn't make a huge mess all over the counter when I squeezed it, but it took a little longer to fill since I had to coordinate holding the top ring in place and spooning in the icing.
I don't know how easy it is to buy refill bags... the bags that come with this aren't the kind you normally see in the decorating aisle, but you could get away with using a regular plastic storage bag with the unique tip this uses.
My only real complaint is that the stencils aren't very sturdy... one cracked in half the first time I used it. Also, the commercial says that you can decorate cakes like a pro... there are other factors involved in that process... if your icing is too runny or your cake is too crumbly, your cake isn't going to be a masterpiece the first time. Still, I think that's my fault (not Betty Crocker's).
Customer Review: Creates cute cakes, you need patience.
Summary: 4 Stars
When I bought this from their official website it looks really cute on the video and their cakes look like something from a local mom&pop bakery. But when you actually use it for the first time you need patience; especially for beginning cake decorators like myself. But after a couple of uses I created really cute cakes and cupcakes and my cupcakes are the center of the holiday parties at my home. So do I recommend this? Yes, especially if you want to save money. But you need patience! And I tried doing the flowers but they didn't work so...that's one of the only downsides.Customer Review: Cake Decorating Set

Not a bad deal for the money. I was a little disappointed in the pastry bag holder - it is difficult to work with. Also, the tips are supposed to be interchangeable with standard icing bag couplers - I couldn't get them to screw on properly. All in all, if would purchase again. The letter stencils were nice.
