What is Edible Glitter?

Edible glitter is a type of food decoration that adds a touch of sparkle and shine to desserts and baked goods. It is typically made from ingredients that are safe to consume, such as sugar, corn starch, and food coloring. This makes it a great alternative to traditional non-edible glitter (which can be dangerous if ingested.)  According to the Food & Drug Administration, "If the label simply says 'non-toxic' or 'for decorative purposes only' and does not include an ingredients list, the product should not be used directly on foods."

One of the most popular uses for edible glitter is in baking. It can be used to decorate cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and other treats. It often comes in a variety of colors and shapes, such as stars, hearts, and sprinkles, which can be used to create eye-catching designs. Edible glitter can also be used to decorate drinks, such as cocktails and mocktails, adding a touch of glamour to your beverages.

It's important to note that not all edible glitter is created equal. Some products may contain ingredients that are not safe for consumption, such as metallic or plastic glitter. Be sure to check the label and make sure the product you're using is safe to eat before using it on your food.  Our "Glitter Meister" brand edible glitter is a great (and safe) option!

Edible glitter can be a good option for people with food allergies. Many brands offer products that are gluten-free, nut-free, and even kosher. This can makes a good choice for individuals with dietary restrictions.

Edible glitter is a fun and creative way to add some extra flair to your desserts and drinks.   With the rise of social media, people are sharing pictures of their dazzling desserts, and it's a trend that's catching on.  With a little bit of edible glitter, you can turn any dish into a work of art.
