Welcome! Whether you're a professional cake artist or decorating your first batch of cupcakes, MONÉGASQUE edible luster dust and edible glitter are incredibly easy to use.
There are four main application methods — each gives a unique finish. Pick the one that suits your project, or experiment with all four!
The simplest method. Dip a soft, dry brush into the luster dust or edible glitter and gently sweep it across fondant, chocolate, cookies, or fruit. Choose a brush size that matches your project.
Mix a small amount of luster dust or edible glitter with 1-2 drops of alcohol (vodka or lemon extract) to create a shimmery paint. Brush it on for a smooth, opaque metallic finish — perfect for lettering and bold coverage.
Dissolve luster dust or edible glitter in alcohol to create a thin mixture, then load it into an airbrush gun. This gives a beautiful, even matte shimmer across larger surfaces like tiered cakes.
Sprinkle less than ¼ teaspoon into any beverage — cocktails, champagne, lemonade, or coffee. The shimmer slowly swirls like northern lights in a glass. Completely tasteless.
Our edible glitter comes in jars with a built-in sprinkler cap — no extra tools needed!
Simply twist open the lid, hold it over your creation, and gently shake. The sprinkler evenly distributes dazzling sparkle onto drinks, cupcakes, cookies, cakes, and more.
Perfect for cocktails, champagne toasts, bakery displays, and party treats. Just shake and shine!
Start with a small amount — you can always add more. Store your luster dust and edible glitter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For the most intense color, apply over a white or light surface. A little shimmer goes a long way!
Find the most frequently asked questions below.
Yes! MONÉGASQUE luster dust and edible glitter are made from FDA-compliant mineral-based ingredients. It's 100% edible, flavorless, and free of all top-9 allergens. It's also vegan, kosher, and halal certified.
A little goes a long way! For dry brushing, a light dip covers a cupcake. For wet application, about ¼ teaspoon mixed with a couple drops of alcohol covers a 6-inch cake tier. Our 15g jar lasts through multiple projects.
We recommend clear, high-proof alcohol like vodka or lemon extract. The alcohol evaporates quickly, leaving just the shimmer. Avoid water — it doesn't dissolve the dust as well and takes longer to dry.
Absolutely! For buttercream, we recommend the dry brush method. Gently dust the surface once the buttercream has crusted slightly. You can also use the wet paint method for detailed work.
Luster dust gives a smooth, pearlescent shimmer — like a metallic sheen across surfaces. Edible glitter provides sparkly, visible flecks of light — think confetti for your food. Both are 100% edible and food-safe!
