Expert Review and Insights
PME is a go-to for a reason, and these flakes are a prime example. The lustre is fantastic, especially under display lights where they really pop. They’re much more impactful than a simple dust, giving a tangible texture and high-end feel. A really solid, reliable product for any professional decorator's toolkit.
Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →
- Pro: The flakes have a fantastic, vibrant lustre under shop lights.
- Con: Requires a delicate touch; can clump if applied too heavily.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A high-end patisserie in Harrogate was looking for a way to make their signature chocolate tortes stand out in a competitive local market. They needed a decoration that screamed luxury but was reliable and simple for their busy team to apply.
"We needed something that looked incredibly premium but was completely food-safe and consistent. The PME gold cake decoration flakes were perfect. Our customers are always commenting on the sparkle, and it’s now a key part of our most popular dessert."
Michael Davies – Head Pâtissier at The Pastry Parlour
The patisserie saw a 20% rise in sales of their signature torte within two months of introducing the gold flake finish.
Application and Storage Guide
Applying Your Glitter
- For best results, apply to a slightly damp surface like icing, buttercream or a light glaze to help it stick.
- Use a soft, dry brush to gently place individual flakes for precision work on sugar models or lettering.
- To avoid clumping, sprinkle from a height for a more even, delicate distribution across a larger surface.
- Mix with clear piping gel to create a sparkling, paintable decoration that holds its place.
Keeping It Fresh
- Always screw the lid on tightly after use to prevent moisture clumping the flakes.
- Store the pot in a cool, dry place like a cupboard, away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Keep it separate from strong-smelling ingredients, like spices, to maintain its neutral quality.

Ever needed a fine, shimmery dust instead of distinct flakes for a particular design? Many decorative glitters are 'what you see is what you get', but these PME flakes are designed for versatility. By gently pressing and rolling them with the end of a small rolling pin or even the back of a spoon, you can break them down into a finer powder. Think of it like grinding your own spices – you unlock a different texture and application. This finer dust is perfect for stencilling, mixing with rejuvenator spirit to create a paint, or for a more subtle, all-over shimmer on buttercream. It's like getting two products in one pot.
