I was at our cake store and they had recipes setting out to make your own Edible Glitter. I pick one up but havent had time to try it yet. But I thought I would post it if anyone wants to try it. Or if they have any tips if they have tried it also would be great. Not sure where recipe came from so I dont know who to give credit too!
Here is the recipe:
Mix 4 parts water with 1 part gun arabic(ex 4tsp to 1tsp Gum Arabic) Put in microwave long enough to warm water to dissolve gum arabic completely. Turn on oven to 200 degrees. Color liquid to whatever color/depth you desire (clear/white has no color). Lighlty brush liquid onto alluminum foil sheet. Put in oven just long enough for arabic to dry- you can hear it cracking and drying even with the door closed- DO NOT OVER COOK-IT BECOMES BROWN! When dry remove from oven and let cool a few minutes. Crush foil and edible glitter will be crushed to a smaller flake (If you have brushed the liquid on too thickly it will tend to be lumpy and not flake) . If you want a very small flake, put glitter into a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Put into a salt shaker-type container for best results in decorating. Now you can make whatever color edible glitter you desire!
Sorry, No times listed on Microwave times or oven. If anyone know please fill in.
We get a diferent brand of Disco Glitter here - called Edable Art (Yes it IS spelt like that) - and it is quite mis-representative - as it is not REALLY edible - maybe in small quantities - but would be reluctant to use in any great quantity on a cake.
I have used it with great success as an accent on things not deemed to be part of the cake... like
the dress on the figurine http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1327800
and on the shoe and bag on this one - although light has not picked it up too well http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1290778
I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS DISCO DUST AND IT IS ADVERTISED FOR CONSUMPTION. WHEN IT CAME IN, ON THE CONTAINER, IT SAYS FOR CRAFTS, NOT EDIBLE. SO I AM TOTALLY CONFUSED.
Thats why I pointed it out - I love it - bring a real WOW factor to lots of stuff but as I said - I tend to use it on smaller accent type pieces that can be removed from the cake.

see HOW the glitter adds to the whole design - so don't discard using it - just be careful HOW you use it
