Edible glitters can be used in various ways to decorate cake

Cake decoration is not a simple job. The creativity employed in cake decoration has pushed the boundary beyond normal level and now it can be compared to art. The cake decorators are helped to a large extent by the cake decoration items available in the market. Without them, their task would get more complex. They will have to create everything themselves leaving no time to come up with creative ideas for cake decoration. The creativity allows the decoration items to be used in various ways to decorate the cake beautifully.

Edible glitter, edible glitters


Edible glitter is one of the cake decoration items that can be used in various creative ways to make the cake look beautiful. Edible glitters are shiny speck of sugar particles which are very fine. They are made from sugar and edible dye for giving them the required colour. The particle size can range from granulated to very fine dust. They can be used on cake as a complete coat or can also be used sparingly in selected portion of the cake. They make the cake look very glamorous due to their ability to reflect light. It gives a shimmering effect to the cake. They are very useful when a cake is being designed and decorated based on a particular theme. The glitters must be mixed with any suitable solvent when they have to be applied on fondant and when the icing is no longer soft. It is best to use when the icing is mildly hot.


The edible glitters can be used very creatively on the designs used on the cake to highlight them or giving them an extra touch of shine. They can also be used on small confectionary items by coating them. The tiny miniatures can be made to look shiny with specific colours to be used on cakes for specific designs.
