I had a bride send me this picture, I'm not sure who did the cake (it's from Pinterestland of course) but I can't figure out what was used for the silver layers...Edible glitter? I've ruled out dragees of course. One of my friends suggested maybe gelatin sequins? I love the look but just can't figure out what was used!
AJust popping by to say that this gorgeous cake was created by the very talented Jenna Rae Cakes :) i follow her on instagram
Thank you so much mattyeatscakes! I could have done a reverse image search but...I was lazy. I will have to follow her as well, it's gorgeous!

I NEVER would have guessed this is how it was done!
Could you do those two tiers on dummies or foam and have those two tiers be not edible?
AYou COULD do them on dummies but I see nothing different than doing a tier covered in drageés, you tell people to peel that part off. Those type of confetti sprinkles are commonly used on grocery store birthday cakes also, they're not hard like a drageé would be (that was my other option was a drageé covered tier so this would actually be better for eating). It's obviously whatever you feel comfortable doing though.
It's totally edible if you use edible lustre/paint. Whether you would want/like to eat it depends on each person, but it can always be left on the plate, much like some people don't eat fondant or munch through a load of gumpaste ruffles or wafer paper peonies.
AWell said dayti, my thoughts exactly, the bottom tier is a double barrel ruffle tier lol
AHi there,
Yes they are edible sequins. I saw on the internet that you could use kara couture method (if i remember well) to make them out of gelatin but you can also make them with a circle cutter or with confettis.

Daisybee, check out the link to the tutorial I posted, they're actually not edible sequins, they're just confetti sprinkles hand painted gold!
AFor research purposes I ate some of the sprinkles. I've always been in the "more the merrier" camp when it comes to sprinkles so it wouldn't bother me personally to eat the sprinkle laden fondant lol
A@SweetDreams98, Sorry i didnt see (excuse my horrible english) the link when i posted my comment, Yes i remember i had seen this tutorial, i think it s the easiest way to get the edible sequins.
If i had to i would go for this one
AThat tutorial just blew my mind!! I'm totally using that on an upcoming purse cake!!

I know right? I love your name by the way, my youngest son's name is Rex and we call him Rexy all the time :). I'm going to use this technique on a wedding cake in 2 weeks!
Just warn whoever is going to cut the cake that the outside is going to be less than appetizing for most people. They might want to leave those tiers to be served last if needed. A lot of the designs that are going around now are more for looks than for eating.
