as cakes and cupcakes. The cake that looks better is often found more
delectable. The professional bakers and the home bakers both have been using
many accessories and cake decorating tools lately to decorate their cake so
that it looks the best. One of the things that they have been using extensively
lately which has also become very popular today is the edible glitter.
Edible Glitter is
nothing but the shiny powder that is often used as a decorative. You can
sprinkle the edible glitter on the top of the cakes and the cupcakes. It adds
no flavor or taste but a different color and shine to it. Edible glitter is
also called as petal dust and luster dust. It is available in the market and
online in the different colors of gold, silver, copper, blue, green, yellow,
and many more. The colors of gold and silver are used most of all.
The edible dust
can be used on the top of the cakes, fondant, flowers, etc. using a dry brush.
Do not mix the glitter with water because it is not water-soluble and can get
messy and sticky.

aspects. But you must know that edible glitter is safe to consume. It is FDA
approved and is fit for consumption. There are many brands of the edible
glitter available in the market where they use different ingredients to make
it. The pack of the edible glitter will have the list of all the ingredients
that have been used in the making of the glitter. You can check the name of the
ingredients.
On the pack of
the edible glitter, it is also mentioned clearly whether the same is “edible”
and “non-toxic”. The edible luster dust can be used without a doubt. In the
case of non-edible glitter, the makers specify by writing "Not fit for
Consumption" and “toxic” on the pack. In that case, never use the glitter
on your cake.
