For more than years, Wilton has made it easy for everyone to create amazing cakes and sweet treats. The Wilton School of Cake Decorating and Confectionery Art is where it all started. It s the place where Wilton Method techniques were developed and taught to generations of decorators. Our story began in with one man, Dewey McKinley Wilton. In the mid- '0s, Dewey traveled across the Midwest working as a pulled sugar artist in various elegant hotels. Finding that many of the hotels pastry chefs were interested in learning more about pulled sugar artistry, Dewey discovered he had an aptitude for teaching. He established The Wilton School of Cake Decorating and shared his knowledge for $ a lesson. As he continued to teach, many of the German and French master pastry chefs showed Dewey their time-honored traditions of cake decorating using buttercream icing. Over the next several years, Dewey developed The Wilton Method of Cake Decorating, which combined the best of European fine artistry with the traditional American desire for excellence and simplicity. Over the years, The Wilton School has had several addresses in the Chicagoland area, but our focus on helping students achieve decorating excellence remains unchanged. For the past four years, students have enjoyed classes in our newly remodeled facility in Darien, Illinois. Our expanded classrooms enable The Wilton School to offer the wide selection of baking and decorating classes you see in this catalog. Since, The Wilton School has graduated thousands of master decorators and taught thousands of others The Wilton Method of Cake Decorating around the globe. Dewey McKinley Wilton s mission is still at the heart of what we do every day. MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE WILTON SCHOOL Dear Students, The 0 Wilton School year is here!

This is a tradition and a history that has only grown stronger since Dewey McKinley Wilton began teaching in. Constantly growing, updating and changing, but never compromising the well-established guidelines the Wilton Family has left behind. Recently an impromptu visit from Norman Wilton provided me a nod of approval upon seeing our newly remodeled classrooms and our updated Master curriculum. I can only say that as Director, I feel I continue the significant legacy the Wilton family has left behind. I hope to see you in one of our Master Series classes in 0.
