Edible glitters take cake decoration to a new level

There is no dearth of creative ideas for cake decoration. New ideas make room for new products in the market. The creativity has allowed use of icing, sprinkles, glitters and dusts to be used in cake decoration in various ways. The icing and sprinkles of various kinds have now become very essential in cake decoration but it is the use of glitters and dusts that takes the cake decoration to another level.

The glitters are used to give a shimmering effect to the cake decoration. The glitters can be selectively used on the designs created on the cake or the whole cake can be completely covered with glitter dust. The glitters are also used to cover the different shapes made from sugar such as sugar candies to suit and complement the theme of the cake. Glitters are made from sugar, gum and coloured dye. Certain chemicals approved by the governing body for food safety are used to give sparkle to the glitters. But glitters made from organic and natural ingredients are best from the health point of view. People should be aware of glitters available in the market which are non toxic but cannot be consumed. They are made from plastic materials and should be avoided even if they do not cause any harm on consumption. The packet of glitters mentions the term “edible” which can be consumed.


The edible glitters are available in wide range of colours and flavours also. They are also available in various granular structures. The edible glitters used on the cake add the element of sparkle and luster to the cake to make it look festive, glamorous and eye catching.
