How do I use edible glitters and dust?

In order for your edible glitter dust to adhere, it needs to be used on a dessert that is slightly moist or sticky. Desserts with fresh frosting, buttercream or warm chocolate are perfect for using baking glitter dust on, as they will quickly stick to them and stay there.

Simply shake your glitter or dust over your dessert so it is applied in a thin, even layer, or use your fingers to sprinkle or even rub the dust on instead.

Edible dust and glitter FAQs

What is edible glitter and dust?

Edible glitter and dust and decorative additions for desserts will add a metallic or iridescent shine to baked goods. They come in all sorts of colours, although metallic colours like gold, silver and copper are the most common.

Are edible glitters and dust allergen-free?

High-grade baking dust and glitters should not contain common allergens like gluten, egg, nuts or dairy, and most will be completely vegan, so are safe for everyone to eat!

What is edible glitter made of?

Edible glitter and dust are usually made from sugar, cornstarch, gum arabic and added colours, including mica pigments for that metallic shine.
