At First Glance Fake, but It's Real: A Special Feature on Glitter Cake Designs Often Seen Abroad

Glittering Cakes Frequently Seen Abroad

These cakes, often seen on international Instagram accounts and Pinterest.

They have a shiny, glittery appearance, and I wondered what material creates this sparkle... Could it be a fake cake rather than a real one...?

It turns out it was edible glitter! ✨

This glitter seems to be used for decoration and is known as "edible glitter."

It’s the same kind of glitter used in sparkling drinks, which became popular with tapioca.

It looks similar to the glitter used in nail art on nails.

It appears that they are dusting or sticking the edible version of glitter on the cakes...

The methods for adhering the glitter to the cakes are quite inventive.

✅ They stick it with a brush.

✅ They use a fan to blow it on.

✅ They spray it with a pump.

The process resembles an art class project.

(What a typical foreign approach!...)

When you see videos of cakes after adding glitter, it looks like this. It's really sparkling and amazing! ♡

Cakes using edible glitter seem to be trending, too.
