Heritage & History
Wilton was founded in 1929 in Chicago, Illinois by Dewey McKinley Wilton, a professional cake decorator who began teaching cake decorating classes and selling the tools and supplies his students needed. The Wilton School of Cake Decorating, established in 1929, became the foundation of an empire of baking instruction and supply that would eventually reach millions of home bakers through retail stores, books, and television.
Wilton's Cake Decorating Yearbook, introduced in the 1960s, brought professional cake decorating techniques to home bakers across America, creating a mass market for decorating tips, fondant, gum paste, and specialty bakeware. The company's move to Woodridge, Illinois continued its Chicago-area manufacturing tradition. The Wilton brand became so associated with cake decorating that many of its product categories — decorating tips, fondant, gum paste — are discussed using Wilton's product numbers as the industry standard reference.
