You don’t have to be Cardi B to love a little bling. Think of all the glittering things in this world and how even a little sparkle can make anything seem more special — including cake. Especially cake.
If you want to decorate a cake to make it more glamorous, more eye-catching or just more fun, bedazzle it! Here are a few different ways to get your gleam on.
Luster dust is a powder that creates a gleaming finish. Different kinds create different effects, from sparkly to pearlescent to subtly shimmering.

You can buy it or DIY it by mixing luster dust with a small quantity of a flavoring extract or clear spirit like vodka. Make it thick, or thin it out and brush it on your cake like watercolor paint.
Edible glitter is exactly what it sounds like — a sparkly edible garnish. There are a few ways to get that gleam. For instance, you can combine gum arabic and luster dusts to create metallic flakes, or you can make a kind of cake confetti by coating fondant with edible paint, then cutting out tiny glittery shapes.
Think about your cake design. Are you featuring big, bright flowers ? You may need the bold effect of edible glitter. But if you’re going for a more understated look, a simple coat of luster dust might be your move.

Depends on what you’re using. Apply luster dust with a dry, soft brush. “Paint” edible paint right onto a cake. Use icing “glue” for edible glitter.

Luster dust can take your flowers from pretty to breathtaking. You can create this effect by painting the flowers with edible paint or using a soft brush to gently coat accent areas with luster dust. A lustrous finish on flowers makes them seem more life-like and draws the viewer’s eye.
Hope this lesson has inspired you to get creative with glitter. So the next time you’re baking a special cake, be sure to get your gleam on!So what's considered edible? Well if you gain nutrients from eating the product and it is FDA approved as food, then it's considered edible.
If the product is labeled non-toxic, then it's not edible and should be placed on food in a way that would make it easy to remove before consuming (like painted-on fondant that you can peel off or on toppers that can be easily removed)

There are a lot of products out there that claim to be edible but are just non-toxic. What does non-toxic means? Well imagine you ate a crayon.
See, when something is considered non-toxic, it just means it will pass through your body without harming you but you also do not get any nutrients from it so therefore, it is not a food.
Disco dust commonly refers to a product that is considered to be non-toxic but not edible. You know what else is non-toxic? Actual real glitter. The plastic stuff you buy at the craft store literally is the same thing as disco dust. Do you really want to eat plastic? I didn't think so.

Just say no to disco dust unless you're putting it on a part of the cake that can be easily removed and is very clearly not meant to be eaten.
The great thing about making edible glitter is that it's pretty dang easy. You probably already have all the ingredients you need for it in your shop (if you're a cake decorator). You can also switch up your colors and dusts depending on what you have on hand, but I prefer to use TruColor metallics.
Because they are 100% natural mica-based pearlescent pigmented metallics withtons of shine. They also come in a variety of beautiful colors!They are made with real minerals that are safe to consume and I think that's what gives them their extra shine power.
