Hello to all my fellow cake lovers out there! I need help! I have a client that would like a cake that mimicks the picture attached...yup....the middle layer....glitter crazy! It is so beautiful but I do not even know where to begin to get that done! It almost looks like a clear "cake shellac" that was applied. I obviously don't want to cover the cake in disco dust...any ideas would be soooo appreciated! Thanks guys! :) Also...you can see the same technique used on the chocolate oreos...what is this magic glitter stuff? I need it!
I think the OP is asking if there is something out there that is meant for consumption that she can use and offer to the bride.. I have no clue here at all this is not my expertise, but I too am curious to know if there is something that is consumable that will give a close effect to this without the unicorn farts.
ALooks like Magic Sparkles, edible flakes that can be ground smaller to glitter size. They melt when they get wet. According to the Internet they are sold in the UK, couldn't find a place in the US that has them.
I order Magic Sparkles from the UK when I need edible glitter.
Usually if I have a full glitter tier, I just use a dummy tier, you can roll it around in the glitter, shake it, etc.
Amaybe suggest to the bride using a dummy tier so you can use the disco dust but also know it won't be eaten and have a plain kitchen cake ready to replace that tier for servings. I agree it is unfair of the original baker to use an inedible material on a display cake, it is very much false advertising, and leads to this, where a bride or other customer wants it replicated only to be told 'not possible if you still want it edible' they usually just think or say 'so and so did it, so I must be able to have it' and then either go elsewhere get upset. it should be stated on the display that the effect is NOT edible and is for display only
