What Is Edible Glitter & What Can You Add Edible Glitter To?

 

Edible glitter is like the unicorn of the culinary world: a wild card you can throw into the mix to send ooh's and ahh's abundantly around the room you are entertaining. Sparkly cookies, shimmery cakes and glimmering cocktails!

But what exactly is edible glitter? Let's dive into that question and learn all about that delectable sparkle.

WHAT IS EDIBLE GLITTER?

Truly edible glitter will say "edible" or "food grade" right on it, and these are terms which mean that the product is safe to consume or eat. Edible glitter can be added to toppings, desserts, drinks, icings and more to add sparkle, shine or pearl finishes depending on the type of edible glitter used.

What forms of glitter does edible glitter come in?

Edible glitter can come in the following forms:

• Luster Dust: Edible and food-grade, this is a pearlized powder that works well on airbrushed cakes. It can be applied wet or dry and can be mixed to create an edible "paint". There is not a huge glittery effect with luster dust, but rather, a pretty, reflective sheen.
• Petal Dust: Edible and food-grade, just like the name suggest, it is great for adding color to sugar flowers. It leaves more of a color than a glitter effect.
• Tinker Dust: Edible and food-grade, excellent sprinkled on your foods, frostings. Tinker dust is sparkly and shiny and is meant to be sprinkled directly onto food. It is not made to be mixed with anything to create an edible "paint". The particles are larger to reflect light better.
• Brew Glitter®: Edible and food-grade, Brew Glitter® by Bakell is a glittery powder additive made in the USA specifically to be added to beverages.
