If you want to make your own glitter feast, it's easy to top anything from cake to pizza with edible glitter for that special sparkle. Just make sure to use glitter that's marked as edible. The FDA issued a warning earlier this year to carefully check all labels.
"Common ingredients in edible glitter or dust include sugar, acacia (gum arabic), maltodextrin, cornstarch, and color additives specifically approved for food use, including mica-based pearlescent pigments and FD&C colors such as FD&C Blue No. 1. Most edible glitters and dusts also state 'edible' on the label," the FDA said in a statement. "If the label simply says 'non-toxic' or 'for decorative purposes only' and does not include an ingredients list, the product should not be used directly on foods."
