    History of The Wilton School

    A Century of Inspiration

    Dewey McKinley Wilton began his career in 1912 as a candymaker, eventually becoming an expert in the field. In the 1920’s he traveled internationally, teaching the art of pulled sugar to renowned pastry chefs throughout Europe. They in return, taught him the time-honored traditions of cake decorating. In 1929, Dewey founded The Wilton School of Cake Decorating, teaching new techniques at a cost of $25 per lesson. Over the years, Dewey formulated his own technique, the Wilton Method, combining the best of European artistry with an American desire for simplicity and excellence. The company continued to evolve under the direction of Dewey McKinley and Norman Wilton and would later include the sale of cake decorating products.
