Edible glitters are being used now days as paints while cake becomes the empty canvass

The cake decorators are using their imagination and skills to design and decorate cakes like they are some art form. The cake decoration items available in the market enables them to come up with most ingenious ideas to decorate the cake with the sole regret that they cannot be preserved for long and will be consumed in the shortest span of time.

Edible Glitter Rainbow Dust in Red Color

Edible glitters are among one of the several cake decoration items available in the market. They are like fine dust which when used on the cake make them glow and sparkle under light. The glittering effect on the cake adds a glamorous touch to the cake. They take the cake decoration to the next level and also allow the cake decorators to bush their boundaries and come up with innovative style in cake decoration.

They are made using natural ingredients and edible dyes to make them very safe for consumption. However, many companies use chemicals at permissible limit which increases their glittering effect. The use of chemicals must not exceed what is approved by the Food Safety Agency (FSA). 

Earlier, edible glitter and dust were used on the cake very sparingly. The idea behind giving slight touches of glitters on the cake was to give a fairy tale look to the cakes. These edible glitters were also called as fairy tale dusts. They settle well on the cake when the icing is still warm else the decorators use edible spirit to make the surface of the cake a little wet and then apply the desired level of glitter coating. Now, the glitters are increasingly used to completely coat the cake with edible glitters and dust which allows making cake in unique colour combination. The cake them becomes a n empty coloured canvass upon which the decorator puts his design.
