Glitter & shimmer
There are 8 products.
Glitter and shimmer turn a mirror glaze into a sparkling highlight. Here you will find edible decorating powders and glitter in handy pump sprays: gold, light blue and ruby red decorating powder, gold shimmer, bronze and red glitter and red and silver glitter sprays, holding 4 g, 8 g or 10 g depending on the product. The pump spray releases the fine particles as a light mist, evenly and without a brush. This lets you add targeted accents or cover whole cakes in a fine shimmer, ideal for weddings, Christmas and festive desserts.
How to get the shimmer right on glaze, cakes and pralines
- Spray at the very end: the cake is fully decorated, the pralines are coated or moulded, and the glitter comes as the final step.
- Shake the pump spray briefly and spray in short bursts. From a little distance you get a delicate veil; closer to the surface the effect becomes more intense. A first test spray shows how much powder comes out.
- Glitter sticks particularly well to freshly set mirror glaze, and also to buttercream, ganache, macarons and pralines. On dark chocolate and dark glazes, gold and red stand out strongly.
- Work cleanly: place small pieces on a sheet of paper, turn larger cakes while spraying and cover areas that should stay plain with your hand or a piece of paper.
Frequently asked questions about glitter and decorating powder
Does the red glitter spray change the taste?
The red glitter by Roxy & Rich is stated to be edible and approved under food law; it dissolves when eaten and does not affect the taste. Store it cool, dry and away from light. Details on the other sprays are on each product page.
How do I dose between a soft veil and an intense gold finish?
Through the distance and the number of bursts. For a subtle touch of light blue or silver, one burst from a little way off is enough; for an intense gold finish on a dark glaze, move closer and spray several times.
Matching glazes are in the category Ready-made mirror glazes and in the category Mirror glaze, inspiration in our pies and desserts recipes.
