DIY Edible Glitter to Make Your Desserts as Fierce as Kesha

I am addicted to glitter. Yes, I was one of those kids in elementary school who would cover their entire project with glitter just because. So, you can imagine how excited I was when I discovered how to cover your food in glitter and still be able to eat it. It was like finding out the fourth season of House of Cards has been released early.

This literal sugarcoat can be sprinkled onto cupcakes, cakes, crêpes, and more. Or if you’re a true addict, be bold and eat it right out of a bowl for some straight up sugary goodness. But personally, I suggest dusting the top of your next fudge brownie sundae. Enjoy.
