Hope this link works. I am looking for the silver dragees that are shaped like m&m's. I have never seen dragees that weren't round balls.

AVery near! I've never seen those either. They may have used a mold or flattend pearls.

They are awfully reflective, could it be jewelry and not an edible product?

ARebecca Suttersby,who made the cake, calls them silver dragees on her Facebook page. A few commenters asked her for her source but she gets a lot of comments and doesn't seem to have time to respond to everything.

I don't think they are hand-made or hand-painted because the chrome finish is too perfect and shiny.

just a tip, vanilla sky, if you're in California, you won't be able to purchase them yourself. metallic dragees are banned.

I googled "Flat silver dragees" and came up with a source in the UK "thecakedecoratingcompany.com"

I'm on the "East coast too and each time they update the weather it goes up another 6" - had to cancel two taste tests. and they're already cancelling schools.  Gunna be a biggie.  And what I would do is forget trying to purchase the dragees that big and just make your own out of a combo of gumpaste and fondant - tinted a light gray, then highlight them with NuSilver.  At least some old lady at the reception won't chip a tooth trying to eat one - sometimes cakes garnishes we see on line are for show only and don't have a practical application for actual use.  Happy shoveling.

The reviewer says:

I know these are mostly for show, but choose your teeth wisely before chomping down on of these babies. They do make a visual impression though.
