Beautiful!
Advice please - I've been trying to find edible glitter but all the nice ones I'm seeing say they are not actually for eating (especially the ones by the 'Rainbow Dust' company). Which glitter did you use and where did you get it from? I'm really desperate for glitter, proper shiny metallic ones that can be eaten!

Btw, I finally bought a giant closed star tip that you recommended to me months ago, I only got it last week but I'm so glad I have it. Gonna do some nice rose swirls on my next batch of cupcakes.

Aww, thanks!

I get all my glitters from this company: http://www.edible-glitter.co.uk

I've been buying edible glitter for years and years and there's nothing wrong with consuming it (as long as it's not by the pot!) because it's only ever a tiny amount. They are called non-toxic glitters. The glitters on this website are fabulous but if you are in doubt and really don't want to consume, they stock a brand called Truly Edible glitters which aren't as sparkly but they are made to consume. I hope that helps. But honestly, I've been using the ones on this particular site for the last 5 or so years and no one has ever had any problems.

Thanks Lain, very helpful.
