How can I use edible cake glitter in my baking or decorating?
You can sprinkle edible glitter directly onto frosted desserts or use it to highlight decorative accents. For a layered effect, blend multiple colors of glitter sprinkles or apply a single tone for elegant shimmer. Edible sparkles work well on cookies, cupcakes, and more.

Does edible glitter have any specific storage requirements?
To maintain quality, store your edible glitter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps prevent clumping and preserve the sparkle of your glitter sprinkles.
Can I mix different colors of edible baking glitter to create new shades?
Yes, mixing shades is a great way to create unique looks. Combine different edible sparkles in a small container and test ratios until you find your perfect custom color.
Is edible cake glitter suitable for use on both buttercream and fondant?
Absolutely. For buttercream, sprinkle the edible glitter right after frosting to ensure it adheres well. For fondant, use a light layer of edible glue or water to help the glitter sprinkles stick.

Many of our edible sparkles are vegan-friendly, but always read the ingredient list to ensure they align with plant-based preferences.
Does edible cake glitter have any flavor or taste?
Most edible glitter is flavorless and won’t alter the taste of your desserts. This makes glitter sprinkles a perfect way to enhance visuals without impacting the flavor.
Are there any known allergens in edible glitter?
