Wilton was founded in 1929 in the United States by Dewey McKinley Wilton. The company began as a school that taught cake decorating techniques to professional bakers and pastry chefs. Over time, Wilton started producing the tools used in these classes and developed a wide range of baking and decorating equipment. The brand produces cake pans, piping tips, decorating tools, and baking accessories used for cakes, cupcakes, and desserts. Wilton products are used by both home bakers and professional decorators.
