The truth about edible glitter:

All that glitters is gold...or is it? We put together a guide with everything you need to know about edible glitter (and not-so-edible-glitter) so you can serve your family, friends and clients sparkles that are safe to digest and look pretty too!

The Rise of Edible Glitter:

With major trends such as unicorn cakes and mermaid sundaes breaking the internet and popping up on Pinterest feeds and foodie blogs, we are witnessing the rise of edible glitter.

Instagram foodfluencers everywhere are competing to come up with the most bizarre, over-the-top use for edible glitter. From lattes and cocktails, to pizza and gravy, the sky is truly the limit when it comes to flashy food.

But not all edible glitter is edible. In fact, most cake dust and decorative glitter products on the market are not meant to be eaten at all. Many of these products are marketed as cake decorating supplies, but are made of tiny, ground-up microplastics, or “non-toxic” craft glitters that are exactly what would be found in the crafting aisle at Michael’s. These glitters are not *actually* edible and are meant to be removed before consumption, which defeats the purpose of calling it “edible”, right? That’s how Bakery Bling was born!

When researching and creating her first line of edible glitter cocktail products “Glass Glitz”, Bakery Bling owner and CEO Lauren Brooks, was shocked by the number of false claims made about edible glitters in the marketplace. “Edible” was actually a misnomer, as was “non-toxic” – with products chock full of microplastics and chemicals. Lauren identified the need to combine innovation with food safety in the world of baking and worked with her team to introduce the first-of-its-kind, truly edible glitter sprinkles to the world of baking: “Glittery Sugar™”.
