Top 5 Ways to Use Edible Glitter Without Overdoing It

 A bit of sparkle can make all the difference in a cake or cupcake. When it comes to edible glitter though, less can go a long way. The trick is to apply it in a manner that your goodies appear magical without appearing sloppy. We work at Baking Pleasures and we believe that there are ways to make bakers develop beautiful desserts people cannot forget. So how can you take edible glitter and make your bakes shine, without going overboard? Let us have a look at some easy and fun ideas.

Spotlight Cupcake Toppers

Adding an edible glitter to your cupcake toppers by giving them a soft shine is one of the best things to do with edible glitter. This provides your cupcakes with a party-like look without excess glimmer. Once you have stuck your topper, simply sprinkle some glitter on top. It reflects the light and makes your cupcakes look very special.

Sparkle Fondant Details

The decorations made of fondant are also excellent foundation of a glitter. Once your fondant gets molded into flowers, stars or hearts, sprinkle them with a little edible glitter. This provides them with a nice shimmer without overdoing the entire cake. Apply gently with either a soft brush or by your finger. Piping bag work and fine piping tips can also be used to add detail and a little bit of glitter can then be added to give the desired amount of shine.

Match with Christmas Sprinkles

During the holiday, people can easily be carried away in decorations. To have a balanced appearance, mix edible glitter and christmas sprinkles. Add glitter to your sprinkles, to make them more festive. It is good on cookies, cupcakes or a fun dolly varden cake. The texture combination appears beautiful and makes the usage of glitter minimal. It is a cute decoration of the holiday food that is not messy at the same time.

Chocolate or Candy Melts Light Dusting

Candy melts or chocolate shapes can be made stunning by a soft dusting of edible glitter. When your shapes are hardened, apply a bit of glitter over it to add that wow factor. This concept will be useful with party favours, particularly when they are stuffed in transparent cookie boxes or cupcake boxes. Your guests will be amazed by the glitter and it will make your sweets appear as though they are pro bakery. The trick is to make the glitter very light such that the chocolate can shine too.

Glitter on Edible Cake Toppers Finish

You may complete them when they are made out of edible cake toppers by sprinkling glitter on them with a fine touch. This makes the topper glow soft and attracts attention to your design. It is a beautiful method of making it fancy without making the entire cake over-fanciful. There are a lot of topper styles available online in the baking supplies which go well with a touch of glitter.

Conclusion

When you apply edible glitter properly, your baking will take a new step. At Baking Pleasures, we do not push too much glitz to your baked items but just the right amount to make your goodies shine. Use a bit of glitter when dealing with fondant, cupcake toppers or christmas sprinkles; it goes a long way. Next time when you will be baking, these easy suggestions are to be used. Your desserts will be sparkling without excessiveness. Have your bakes shine to perfection.
