This is the best homemade edible glitter ive ever seen! I really didnt like the coloured sugar 'glitter' that was a trend a few years ago and store-bought edible glitter can be expensive so this is a genius idea 😍
Use freezer paper...shiny side up to spread instead of plastic wrap. It's easier to control...and reusable. And you can write on it so you don't have to guess what colors used.
Freezer paper is white paper with a coating of plastic on one side. Sold by Reynolds. Used for wrapping meats...if that helps. The plastic side ... waterproof...keeps it from getting soaked like parchment paper can. Aluminum foil is too weak in this sense as the glitter and foil combo will not be good....foil will fall apart, fingers will poke thru and such
This is amazing as I have a cake due this weekend with edible glitter .... did the color change cause it look like it got darker once it dries? You are awesome Liz
So sparkly and genius. Plus you just gave me a great idea for this gold paint I bought which happens to be the worst, non-covering paint ever. Make glitter!
Can I use just normal food dye? Like no shimmer at all? I understand it won’t be super glittery and that’s fine by me. I am not able to find any at all. I just wanted to know how it will look.
I read your Edible Glitter Recipe and I did not quite understand how to make a color. You could describe this process in more detail and indicate the names of all the components? Thank you!
Amazing video. Love Shannon also. She’s been very helpful. I’d love to know where you purchased the grinder. I can’t find one small and compact as this one. Thank you
Hi sugar geek show I made this edible glitter and used it on a 21st birthday cake. I was lucky enough to get to try it, but I really didn't like it at all. It was hard and sharp-ish and not really edible. I was wondering if mine came out wrong or if maybe I say it's for decoration only and to remove before eating, so maybe use only on buttercream as it can be cut off rather than fondant which it wont scrape off and i dont like wasting fondant. It did look amazing though! Thank you :)
Hi Liz, is it possible to substitute the gelatin powder with gelatin sheets instead? And if so how much would we use? By the way, this is a great tutorial. Have been wanting to be able to add some sparkles onto cakes.
Thank you for the tutorial. 2 questions. I would like to add flavoring, could I use jello instead of plain gelatin, if not how would I flavour it? Also If I wanted to make a lot how would I package and store it so that it doesn't dissolve or become sticky or go mouldy?
Plain gelatin does not get sticky or go moldy, it's shelf stable. You can add flavoring with candy flavoring but really you don't taste the sprinkles that much
@@SugarGeekShow Will the candy flavour make it sicky or go mouldy (is this an oil or a powder)? Also can one sprinkle the glitter into alcohol or will it dissolve?
You mention that you prefer to use Trucolor metallics, but you didn’t mention the item number for the Trucolor powder you used. What is the item number for the powder?
Well, Here it is Friday November 8th. I made this on the 6th and it's still a pliable sheet ( except for the edges are starting to get "crisp". How long does this take to actually dry? Going to have to go another route since the cake needs to be done today and the "glitter" will still not be firm enough to put in the grinder. Love the concept and idea. Just need to know how long YOURS took to completely dry? I am using wire racks now that I have transferred it to get the air flow on both sides.
This is so amazing and beautiful 😍 Thank you so much for sharing! When adding the colour, do you mix dust with alcohol? Or are "True Color"s already liquid?
Hi Liz! I tried your recipe but somehow it did not work for me. I dried the gelatin overnight and for some more hours till completely dry. But it did not grind up in the mixer. Came out just as it was. Any reason why that might have happened?
I'm not sure if anyone would see this to help me quick enough, but i don't know if mine came out right! After i started pouring my mixture it started to gel up pretty fast. Is this what its supposed to do? Could it be because my room/table is cold?will my glitter still work? I need this for tomorrow ugh
@@SugarGeekShow thank you! It is thick...the mixture started thickening the moment i poured it. I'm gonna make it again but I'm still curious where i went wrong, cuz i dont know if it was JUST the cold. Thanks again
i think the world needs to know you more!!!! this is amazing!!! kudos!
Adesuwa Ighodaro thank you ❤

We all need more glitter in our lives!!! Thank you Liz!!!! Really love learning from you!
Use freezer paper...shiny side up to spread instead of plastic wrap. It's easier to control...and reusable. And you can write on it so you don't have to guess what colors used.
Pls which one is freezer paper, how does it look? I tried it with foil and it didn't come out.
Is freezer paper the same as parchment paper? If not, Will parchment paper work?

@@peepla7 Thanks my sister for your urgent response. I will look for it. Grace2u
I like the music to this and my question is can I use the stove because I don't use microwaves?
Mam will it be also glittery in water ?
at the beginning when you sprinkle gelatin, is there water in the dish? thank you
Yes, just go to the blog post for the full written recipe and instructions :)
@@SugarGeekShow thank you
This is amazing as I have a cake due this weekend with edible glitter .... did the color change cause it look like it got darker once it dries? You are awesome Liz
What colors should I use so I can achieve the gold color? Thanks.
Wow... can I substitute with agaragar???
Thank you so much! Need to make a sparkly tier for g-daughter’s first bday cake. I am grateful for your videos, keep them coming!!
So sparkly and genius. Plus you just gave me a great idea for this gold paint I bought which happens to be the worst, non-covering paint ever. Make glitter!
Cloe Haynes that's a great idea! Tag me if you make it so I can see!
Cloe Haynes I'd love to see too.
May I ask the exact measurement of the ingredients you used for the edible glitters? Thank you in advance.
There is a link to the recipe in the description.
Hola , quisiera saber si pudieras realizar Edible tull por favor? Me encantan tus trabajos! Muchas gracias
That looked like a ton of food coloring? What brand is it?
Hi Liz thank u for your video it's really helpful . For the food color can I use the powder dust with vodka?
Thanks for sharing this Liz! I am going to try this for a birthday cake I have to do at the end of the month.
You are incredibly talented. Whenever I want to learn something I checked your TH-cam channel and it never disappoints me. Thank you so much 💕
yes!
Just saw this from 6y ago! Gotta try this and kudos on the background music!
Hi can we do tht with veg gelatin or plz tel me some veg option loved your vedios
Hi Liz. Would it be possible to add flavour to the gelatin when making this?
Yes but not necessary, you're not going to be eating enough to taste it
@@SugarGeekShow Could you use flavoured jelly instead of the gelatin. If not how else could you flavour it?
It's amazing. May I know what bloom index is the gelatin granules youre using please? Thank you
Absolutely brilliant. Does this work with vegetarian gelatine too?
yes
What kind of ? Agar agar
So what should I do for transparent (white?) glitter? Use white gel food colouring?
THAT...was just AWESOME!!!
Dear .can we add metallic colour full in that small bottle directly .or can we add anything to metallic colour for pouring to gelatin mixture
Can this go on whipped topping like the sams club whipped vanilla?
How you made that golden one which golden colour you used for that.
Liz what brand of edible gold metallic food color do you use?
Can I use just normal food dye? Like no shimmer at all? I understand it won’t be super glittery and that’s fine by me. I am not able to find any at all. I just wanted to know how it will look.
I read your Edible Glitter Recipe and I did not quite understand how to make a color. You could describe this process in more detail and indicate the names of all the components? Thank you!
One doubt in which liquid u r using to soak jelatin
Amazing video. Love Shannon also. She’s been very helpful. I’d love to know where you purchased the grinder. I can’t find one small and compact as this one. Thank you
It's a coffee bean or spice grinder. I got mine at Walmart. Target has them too

Love this ms liz
What is the brand of metallic color?

By the way, this is a great tutorial. Have been wanting to be able to add some sparkles onto cakes.
I'm not sure about using the sheets, you could probably google some sort of conversion between sheets and powdered gelatin :)
Sugar Geek Show thank you Liz for replying!!!
I tried it with sheets yesterday and it works
This looks amazing! does it work well with colours that aren't metallic?
No, it’s not nearly as shiny and just looks dull. I just tried it :(
If I use metallic coloring , do I need to use the Pearl Sheen?
did you put water?
Wow! I loved this. Thanks for the great tip.
This is wonderful, but I was wondering if you can add sugar and/or flavoring so that it actually tastes like something? Thanks, Dee🥰
awesome! thank you!
Wow! Thanks for sharing!!
🤯🤯🤯 super duper cool!!! Anyway to do it with a gelatin substitute? Would agar agar work?
I havent tried that but if you do let me know how it goes!
Excellent! So easy with great results. Thank you
Hi Liz how long will this keep? Stay sparkling?
How can we seal the glitter to the cake without it falling out?
Can i dry it on oven
Thank you for the tutorial. 2 questions. I would like to add flavoring, could I use jello instead of plain gelatin, if not how would I flavour it? Also If I wanted to make a lot how would I package and store it so that it doesn't dissolve or become sticky or go mouldy?

@@SugarGeekShow Will the candy flavour make it sicky or go mouldy (is this an oil or a powder)? Also can one sprinkle the glitter into alcohol or will it dissolve?
Looks amazing, but What does it taste like
The glitter can last until?
I used vanilla and it worked
You mention that you prefer to use Trucolor metallics, but you didn’t mention the item number for the Trucolor powder you used. What is the item number for the powder?
Does it dissolves on water/moisture?
Marcos Vinicius if you put it straight in water yes I think it would eventually dissolve the glitter
could you use an alternative for the gelatin to make it vegetarian?
Agar agar is plant based and a lot better for you
Brilliant!

Hey, did that help?
Love It ! Definitely got to try this!
I'm so happy seeing this...going to try it asap
Can I use normal food colour
Without using metallic colour
Thank you for sharing this with us!!
Metallic paint is airbrush metallic colours or the metallic paint in small bottles to paint on directly?
Qasim Zaffar metallic food coloring
Can you help me understand why mine came out like jello😭
So amazing!!!!! If u mess up and don’t skim it enough, whats the result?
can i use this into some drinks??
Hi there! For how long could I store this in a jar? Thank you :)
If I have a 12 inch cake how much of this would I need to make? Thank you!
Eres muy creativa
If we want it to be more of a powdery consistency, is there a difference blade you would recommend when using the coffee grinder?
And can we melt gelatin mixture at stove for medium heat for 5 min
That is so cool thanks for sharing x
Mine was a failure. It stayed soft even after a day. I followed the exact recipe
This is so amazing and beautiful 😍 Thank you so much for sharing!
When adding the colour, do you mix dust with alcohol? Or are "True Color"s already liquid?
If you go to the full recipe it explains the steps better but you add equal parts water to the dust to let it liquify then add to the gelatin
Sugar Geek Show Oh thank you so much. I must have missed it in the recipe 🙈 sorry
@@SugarGeekShow Hi Liz, could I use silver lustre dust with alcohol, incase I don't get metallic food color?
@@shivangigupta6280 You can just add the dust to the gelatin, no need for alcohol
Brilliant! I can't wait to make a geode cake with this.
This looks super fun😯🤗
Hi, can sugar be added to this I'm worrying about how it would taste ?
Yes you can but it doesn't really taste like anything, it's such a small amount that is used on for decoration
@@SugarGeekShow okay thank you
Wow amazing 😀💁🏻🏴
I love this way of making Edible glitter, thank you for sharing
Amazing Lozzo you blow my mind again
Thank you tica
Mmmmmmaaaaaggggnnniiiiffffiiiikkkkk 😍💟🤩
measurements? Is that just water at the beginning? can you use pectiin instead of gelatin since gelatin has pork?
Marisa Lander I would use Agar Agar instead of pectin. It’s plant based and work just as gelatin
Or you could use beef gelatin if you’re just trying to avoid just but not meat overall
Hi Liz! I tried your recipe but somehow it did not work for me. I dried the gelatin overnight and for some more hours till completely dry. But it did not grind up in the mixer. Came out just as it was.
Any reason why that might have happened?
Hey, did u try this or any other recpie again. I have a glitter cake to make in some days and looking for a good recpie.
Genius...!!!
Awesome! I am soooooo going to do this. 😁👍
May i asked the exsact measurement of the ingridients pls po
so cool i love this
you are the best!!!! 😍😍😍
Measurements please
I'm not sure if anyone would see this to help me quick enough, but i don't know if mine came out right! After i started pouring my mixture it started to gel up pretty fast. Is this what its supposed to do? Could it be because my room/table is cold?will my glitter still work? I need this for tomorrow ugh
It was just a little cold, as long as it's not TOO thick it will still work :)
@@SugarGeekShow thank you! It is thick...the mixture started thickening the moment i poured it. I'm gonna make it again but I'm still curious where i went wrong, cuz i dont know if it was JUST the cold. Thanks again
amazing
How to make edible food color?
THANK YOU!!!!
Exactly measurements pls
You can make glitter with cornflour instead. You won’t even need metallic colour. There are many recipes for that on TH-cam. That’s how I make mine.
Any vegetarian version?
Super cool 👏👏👏👏🇲🇽❤
will ants eat them?
Wow
❤❤❤
